Same, or at least, similar :) I now have an Atari XL that has been completely reworked[1], an Atari TT[2] (which came out when I was a college student, and I could never afford), and I’m planning on 3d-printing a mini-cube case for a NextStation cube[3] which will take a raspberry PI running windowmaker for that authentic feel. I also laser-cut and built a modular case for a kubernetes cluster of PI’s [4],[5] then wrote an app for the display that shows various statistics of each 0f the nodes [6, WIP]. The most-fun part has been the Atari XL - I have an 8-year old son who is never off the thing, despite owning a Nintendo switch. There’s something about the simplicity of the games (and presumably the novelty of the machine) that’s kept him using the XL for a few months now. It helps that there are literally thousands of XL games that fit on the 8GB CF card plugged in the back, mind :) 3d printer to be ordered this week :) [1] https://ataribits.weebly.com/1088xel.html https://ataribits.weebly.com/1088xel.html [2] https://www.atarimagazines.com/startv5n6/tterrific.html https://www.atarimagazines.com/startv5n6/tterrific.html [3] https://www.hackster.io/news/you-can-3d-print-this-gorgeous-replica-next-computer-case-for-your-raspberry-pi-b1e7c4acb5f https://www.hackster.io/news/you-can-3d-print-this-gorgeous-...
