Atari Desk Setups (then and now)

Then:

(Late 83/Early 84). Before I got my first modem. Before I built my own computer desk. Surprised to see the Rana there, I must have JUST gotten it. 1010 is up under the monitor riser. Star Gemini 10x is off to the right with brown cover. As I think about this because the printer is there too, this was probably Early 84. I'm wearing a Member Only jacket (that didnt survive the winter), probably because this was in the basement in winter in SLC., and I got the printer about 6 months after the disk drive before the end of my sophomore year.

To stave off a few questions.

a) I have no idea why I had a bear picture. No idea why it was leaning against the table (desk).

b) Yes, Wiley E Coyote plush on top of monitor - won it in Vegas at Circus Circus the summer before.

c) Yes, large Pioneer speaker on the left. From the SysCom-3300 system I bought with my first job.

d) Wendy's cup. I was working at Wendys then (1st job in Utah, 2nd job overall).

e) RCA 17" color tv (served me into my early 20's)

f) Pac-Man metal trash can I would love to have today. I remember crushing this when i got rid of it.

f) Desk lamp is in what appears to be in an optimal position. lol

Now:

Mid 2023. Desk has seen Atari's come and go over the last few year. Currently home to 800XL with U1MB/Side2, and FujiNet. 1050 and 1030 are in the cabinet below, as are the 7800, 2600 Flashback, and ColecoVision flashback. The new Dell 2408, with a brand new sound bar attached, an unopened RPi400 that I'll get to someday, a Brother Laser printer, 1050toUSB,

and a 1/12 scale Suzuki Jimny r/c.

Desk has a lot more room without the 27" monitor and Edifier desktop speakers.

Questions answers:

a) Breakout. I got it for fathers day. Jamie released a new version and I havent cracked this one open. Ugh

b) 2 nice heavy color print schematics for the 2600 I need to frame.

c) Apple Yum! poster above (search it).

d) Desk to the left is the work and non-Atari (modern Mac) desk.
