    Great overview! Thanks for sharing your opinions. They’re certainly highly informed; as soon as that thing was announced, my brain immediately went, “I wonder what the Fulton brothers think of this.”

    I agree that New Atari should “lean into it,” as you said. The company should commit to this just like the original Atari did when the 400 and 800 came out.

    I also agree that it would be awesome if APX were brought back, as part of said company commitment. And they should kick it off with another Atari Star Award!

    (By the way, forgive me for always posting here instead of on the social networks; I don’t have a cell phone, let alone social media accounts. I hope it’s not a chore to check for messages here!)
