Del McCool shows he is no small fry

In 1982 I bought my first computer an Atari 400 with cassette loader. I worked my way through several 8-bit models and ended up with the 1040ST in 1986. From 1983 to 1986 I was in an Atari users group in Fuerth Germany, while in the US Army.

In 1986 to 1988 I was in Atari users groups in Houston Texas area. In 1986 I ran a Atari BBS in the Houston Texas area, on a 800XL with a 1200 baud modem. I had two Percom drives for uploads and downloads. Since it was such a small BBS, I called it "Atari Small Fry BBS". Today my web page carries a similar name.

Today I still own a 400, 800, 800XL, 65XE and a 130XE with several types of floppy drives and original disks. I have a large selection of Atari 8-bit books and several issues of the Analog Magazine.
