Fascinating stuff. I wonder if anyone's done some searching in those archives for interesting or funny tidbits.

- larrymcp 11y agoHere's a random one I noted from 1983: From: KIM::CALFEE 16-DEC-1983 13:50 To: @SYS$MAIL:COINOP Subj: Atari 800 Software Theft It has been brought to my attention that some stolen Atari computer software may now be residing on one or more of our VAXes. This is intolerable. We are a company whose existance depends on software sales, and every ATARI game that was in a cartridge and has been put on disc and then on the VAX is a potential leak to the outside world that can impact sales. Any competitors' games that might be on the system could substantially weaken Atari's cases against piracy in court. People who participate in stealing software are risking their jobs and the company's future. Please delete all questionable files immediately!!! As Jed would say, Thank you or else. Steve Calfee

- apkostka 11y agoI'm reading backwards. Here's a pretty funny one: From: BERT::CAMERON "Somebody has to write this junk" 3-SEP-1992 11:48:33.64 To: @SYS$MAIL:JUNK CC: Subj: GOOD NEWS!!!! With the new California budget, students will be spending less time at school and spending less time studying or doing homework. More time to play video games!!!!!! Secondly, kids will get dumber and dumber and we won't have to work so hard to make sophisticated gameplay and complicated features. Yeh, Good news for us!!!!!! long live Atari Games..............
