<H1>The Atari pages</H1>

<p>So Atari is no more (at least the part which used to make computers), 
but their computers are still used. I still have an Atari TT at home, 
and switching it on every now and then brings back fond memories.
Even though it may appear primitive now, this is the system which 
taught me more about practical software development than all those years at 
university.</p>

<h2>My own stuff</h2>

Here is a partial list of Atari stuff which I worked on in those days.
Some of it is rather
embarassing today, actually, but then there are still enthusiasts out
there who might be interested in some of it. (And, of course, it's
a weird stroll down memory lane.)
