Thanks for the memories wizwor, the one thing you didn't mention was that you could double up the RAM on the ol' 400s by piggy backing new RAM chips on top of the old ones, and soldering all the legs except the address pin which you bend up and use wire wrap wire to connect to the memory controller.

If you did that, many (but not all) of the programmes that were Atari 800 only would run on it.
