      Yes, sorry, I meant $10,000!
      In fact I think your project deserves much more than $ 10,000...

      Hi Filippo - I hope you meant $10,000 :-) Everyone's support has been tremendous, and this is the kind of enthusiasm a project like this needs, 8 more days to push the envelope.

      I did my part to help this project. I even tweeted about it and posted in several Atari forums. Let's hope the remaining 10 days will suffice.

      Yipee! I've been waiting a long time to read a definitive history of early Atari. They were the first big company to make it in video games and it was a special time back then playing these games when they were new and cutting-edge. I've always wondered what was going on behind the scenes.
