Hi All:

I have kept my Atari XE all these years because it helps me with my Movie 
Hobby.  You see I have a collection of over 4,000 Movies which I taped myself.

A good amount of them were recorded while I was away from home.  They included 
commercials and from time to time the clock  was out of sync with real time so 
they were recorded without the title and the beginning credits.

Well, the atari did not come with a monitor like the present day systems do,
and you got a adapter to hookup to your TV.  So instead of hooking up to the 
TV, I would now hook it up to the VCR or Cd, or DVD and type the titles in 
when I rerecord the movie without commercials.

It works really well, and whenever I want a change I go to the Movie database 
on the internet and capture the poster for a particular movie and pics of some 
of the stars and paste them in instead of titles and the Credits.

Just thought you would be interested.

David
