Podcast Episode 11: Atari 400/800
After a last minute scramble by me, Jeff, to get a solid Internet connection established for my part of the recording, we were able to bring Episode 11 to you on time. David did his usual outstanding job with editing to maintain continuity of the show and working around my technical mishaps.
Joining us this time is a special guest host, Randy Kindig, host of the Floppy Days podcast, and co-host of the ANTIC podcast.
