Announced in late 1978 and released in late 1979, the Atari 400 computer was originally code named "Candy," continuing the tradition of naming things under development after the female workers at Atari. Aimed at a children's market, it has the supposedly childproof membrane keyboard. It outsold the 800, which was marketed to adults and had standard keys.
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 Jaguar turned out to be the last product from Atari before they closed shop in 1996. The Jaguar was the first 64-bit video console on the market (though it's still debated if it is truly 64-bit) and it was released in 1993.
I acquired mine in early 2000. It was brand new then, the box itself had seen better day and the seal was broken, but as it seems they had only opened the box to check on the console. It was still in it's plastic bag, just as the day it left the factory. I also got five games with it, still shrink wrapped. I was debating with myself if I should unpack them or not, but I decided I got it for playing, not for display.
• CIB
• Console throughly cleaned, minute detail
• Rebuilt controllers - xxx parts used - tested and function 100%, but not used
• Box in great condition, collectors will appreciate
• only flaw (this is nitpicking) faint scratch on smoked plexiglass cover

This CPU was removed from a faulty Commodore Amiga 500. You can also find this CPU in the Atari ST range of computers.
The Motorola 68000 is a 16/32-bit CISC microprocessor core designed and marketed by Freescale Semiconductor (formerly Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector). Introduced in 1979 with HMOS technology as the first member of the successful 32-bit m68k family of microprocessors, it is generally software forward compatible with the rest of the line despite being limited to a 16-bit wide external bus. After three decades in production, the 68000 architecture is still in use.
