 Well Atari may not have expanded their machines but the 3rd Party
 developers have. 
 
 Chris just stop and think of ...
 
 - Spectre
 - Sound cards
 - Happy (the orginal) 
 - All the accelerator cards
 - Video cards
 - Hard disks
 - CD cards
 - Rom cards/drives 
 - and the list goes on and on and on and on
 
 Hmm this resembles the same sort of upgrades you get for the PC to me
