  1. I bought the Atari 1040stf in 1990, by then it had a mature library of software games and applications but was already showing signs that it wouldn't be able to hold back competition as PCs were getting faster every year. By the mid 1990's the average PC was much faster than the Atari but the wide software library of the Atari extended its life and the wide pool of users including hackers provided hacked software to a significant base of users who might not have bought the computer otherwise. In those days software was ridiculously expensive.
