Whats great is that the Atari is easily programmed by good hackers and so
so much is free.  [The term hacker, is used here in its original complimentary
sense].

Turtle is available on USENET as freeware (I think is free, otherwise its
sharware and cheap).  It is fast, reliable and even tries to wash the dishes.
