Well I received an Atari 2600 for Christmas, so I'm going to try and make it out of Legos, and I decided to start with the controller. I think it turned out really well.

Fresh out of my storage unit:
Atari Home Computers I played with in the 1980's:
800 - 48K, introduced in 1979
800XL - 64K, introduced in 1983
130XE - 128K, introduced in 1985
[My 400 is lost in the storage unit somewhere]
The Atari 800 was one of the first home computers to be released, after the TRS-80 Model 1, Commodore Pet and Apple ][. I still love the case design - looks futuristic in its own right. It had a real keyboard, unlike the 400, twin cartridge slots and four joystick controllers. I remember desperately wanting one.
I made this image with the exposure blending tool from Digikam using nine exposures. Parts of two and one whole IBM Model M keyboards are in the picture along with an Atari 2600 styled USB joystick.
