Sorry Nurb - the Atari ST is more like an 8 bit than a 16 bit machine. Like a C-64 with GEOS. 

 

 

it sounds familiar. But just vaguely.   Did they also do mail-order or just stores?

Did you guys have GEMCO? 

Just stores. Membership - you had to buy a card for a buck.

FreeBSD 15 is out.  and supposedly even more wifi support..  i should dig out one of the couple of spares i kept  ( most were jettisoned ), and try it.

I loved it. Big old plastic green screen terminal with a detachable monster mechanical keyboard with a telephone style cord. 

I wish I had never sold my old machines.

So I eventually got a MIC-504 with an ADDS viewpoint terminal
running legitimate CP/M - because... for REAL CP/M - you needed
a REAL CP/M machine. 

Oooooh, the Viewpoint 60 terminal ... I had one of those too. It was with me through three or four different unix machines. Some of the code written through it is almost certainly still running here.

I didn't sell my old terminals, I ran them until they eventually broke.  I had a VP60 and a Z-19.

I was constantly using my last generation to fund my next generation. I didn't do that with my Amiga 2000 - I just sold it because it was a huge, heavy, currently useless box that never got used anymore. That was also a mistake. :)
