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.
