An ebay-purchase in quite good condition. Consistent yellowing of course. But a good base for a Gotek floppy-emulator. ;-)
My last pair of headphone broke, again... So this time I took some time to look for a pair that will last. I saw these and just fell straight away! The sound quality is brilliant, and well it's Atari! duh!

Preparing young Queenslanders for life in the 1990s, we saw personal computers make their way into schools during the 80s with a strong focus on health, regional education and the arts by Queensland Education.
The photographic unit at the Premier’s Department, Office of State Affairs, captured a snapshot of various events, programmes and initiatives for school children throughout Queensland. This collection contains several arts, music and drama as well as students participating in computer usage.
In the early 1980s, several different computer manufacturers were vying for a foothold in the education market, Apple, Tandy, Atari, Sinclair, Amstrad, Microbee and many others. By 1985 Apple Macintosh was considered a standard system (alongside several others) for all states except Western Australia which adopted the BBC Model B and Microbee computer systems as a standard.

One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. But I also have a few game consoles made by Atari.
The Atari Lynx was originally designed by Epyx, but Atari stepped in and helped with production and marketing when Epyx ran out of money. It was released in 1989.
I bought my Lynx second hand sometime in 1996-1997 with a nice collection of games and a Comlynx-cable.
