I notice that the 800XL has no protection against pulling out or putting
in a cartridge while the power is on.  Has Atari determined somehow that it
is OK to hot-swap cartridges?  I don't intend to try it, but since I intend
to have my kids using it, and that cartridge sticking out of the top is very
tempting.
