Whether you want to set
up a domestic office or
host your own video
game tournament, the
versatile ATARI 800XL
Home Computer fits the
bill. The hefty 64K RAM
memory gives you the
power to perform a
myriad assortment of
useful tasks. Using just
the console and your
television, you can write
and edit on the screen,
create art and attractive
graphics, and program
with ATARI BASIC, a
built-in, all-purpose com-
puter language. The full-
stroke, low-profile key-
board is set up like a
typewriter, but with add-
ed practical features
such as special function
keys and a HELP key
when you need extra
information in a program.
Your computer gives
you access to the large
family of ATARI products,
including over 2,000 soft-
ware programs. A copy
of the latest ATARI
catalog is packed with
the console. With the
right peripherals and
programs, you can com-
pose music, communicate
with other ATARI owners,
balance your budget,
learn a foreign language,
or follow the stock'
market.
In the following pages
you'll learn how easy it is
to connect 'the computer
to your television, and
how simple it is to oper-
ate once it's turned on.
