[rescue] Sun memo regarding Java

[Curtis H. Wilbar Jr.]

Quake on an Atari 800 ?   WOW, where can I download it !

Will it fit on my 92K floppy disk ?

Seriously though... I loved my Atari 8 bits.... the PC was always a
big technological leap backwards in architecture.... the Atari
(as well as the C64 and then the Amiga) had excellent architectures for
the day.

The Atari 800 with disk drive could be said to have 3 or more CPUs
(6502, Antic, 6507 in the floppy drive).

There are some games for it that did amazing things for the day (
BallBlazer, Star Raiders, and many more).
