        "Yes, Colleen and Candy, Colleen being the Atari 800 and Candy the 400
        were 2 well endowed female employees. In fact almost all the original
        hardware projects were named after well endowed Atari female
        employees. The Atari 2600 was Stella, the Atari 3600 (never came out,
        a horrible 10-bit processor design) was Sylvia and the Atari 5200 was
        PAM, ..."
        How many original hardware projects did Atari have?  Damn, it must have
        been a very pleasant place to work!  I was born too late, too bad.
        \_ The background art in the Atari games Xenophobe and
           Rampage feature very busty females.
           \_ what video game art doesn't feature busty females??
              \_ Try the Castro district in SF.
                 \_ HAHAHAH! FAG JOKES ARE FUNNY!
                    \_ Actually, I've noticed that a lot of the video game
                        art featuring MEN often feature ludicriously oversized
                        codpieces ... Either that's where sci fi soldiers
                        store a second change of clothes or ...
                        \_ Sci-fi soldiers are evolutionally superior to--
                           well--you.
                        \_ Those are actually female soldiers on steroid
                           wearing Maxi pads.
        \_ More importantly, no apparent shortage of busty females
           working there.

Atari Page Last updated July 27, 1999 Atari Reference Desk Whatever Happened To.... Nolan Bushnell, Jay Miner, Neil Harris, Chris Crawford, Tom Hudson, Shiraz Shivji, Alan Alda, Ian Chadwick, James Capparell, and hundreds more... Get tired of seeing their hard work pirated and move on to larger markets? Never get another acting job after being a spokesman for Atari Computers? Actually, Alan was put up as a joke - but it was the first question I received... Alan Alda is doing fine - He's the host of Scientific American Frontiers on PBS. his site to learn about his passion for Triumph motorcyles, his involvement with a budding union, his biography of Henry Hudson and some of his other interests. Note: Ian's site is very graphics intensive, and uses frames. Colleen & Candy - Code names for the legendary (IMHO) 400 & 800, the tanks that started it all. In fact almost all the original hardware projects were named after well endowed Atari female employees. The Atari 2600 was Stella, the Atari 3600 (never came out, a horrible 10-bit processor design) was Sylvia and the Atari 5200 was PAM, actually the Atari 5200 was almost going to be called the Atari PAM which stood for "Personal Arcade Machine". In essence, Walter says that he believes the info is correct, Tom did work for the Yost Group, but doesn't know where he is today. Walter suggests I try to mail Kinetix to see if they know. Walter also forwarded the info to a local (Denmark) 3D group, in the event that any of them might know. I'll put some more information up in a while, but for the moment, you can check out Donald's I C When site that covers the history of video games and computers. We're talking history here too - he starts back in 2600 BC. It is easy to navigate, and crammed with information, much of it Atari-specific. Donald will keep the site up as long as there is interest. his site and you'll have a chance to relive some memories as you view the covers of old ANALOG issues and his C-Manship Complete, and read his comments on them. In addition, you can get some information on Clayton's current projects. com I'd like to thank whoever pointed me in the direction of Clayton's site. Unfortunately, my old form didn't request names or email addresses, so I can't do it directly. OG" and "ANALOG" when referring to ANALOG Computing magazine. ANALOG, the magazine title started off with the periods (it stood for "Atari Newsletter and Lots of Games"), but later we dropped the periods, keeping the uppercase. The form has been modified to allow me to see who has responded. I'd like to thank those that have already submitted questions or answers - if I had any idea who you were :-) What type of response is this? If you have information on this person, please enter it here Note that if this is a Query, "Significance" would be appreciated here.
