I'm sorry, I wasn't going to post any more about this but I was just
overwhelmed by the irony of your post.  The last time I checked, one of
the most popular machines in Germany was the atari series of machines.
You can't even find these machines here, much less software or support.
Why?  Because they were dismissed as nothing more than game machines,
and we gave them to our kids who promptly destroyed them.  I am not
making value judgements, I just thought it was ironic.
