• Thanks for the
Memory
The amount of memory in
a computer determines
how much data it can
store. Your 16KATARI
600XL Home Computer
has plenty of memory for
most purposes, but cer-
tain types of software re-
quire more. For example,
the popular ATARI Book-
keeper" program re-
quir-es 48K RAM. If you
decide to use such soft-
ware, purchase an
expansion Memory
Module" from your
Atari retailer. *
• Installing a Cartridge
Many games, computer
applications, and pro-
gramming languages
come in the form of car-
tridges. When you are
ready to start your work
or play, simply insert the
cartridge firmly with the
label facing you into the
cartridge slot on top of
the console. If you have
just been using another
software program on the
computer, press RESET
to clear the computer's
memory after inserting
the new program
cartridge.
