New Atari computer shirt up in the shop

Many people are not aware of it, but Atari was a major player in the computer market for many years. Starting with the 400 and 800, on up through the ST, TT and the Falcon; they put out an impressive selection of quality gear.

I have been using Atari computers since 1979 (and I still use them to this day).  Invariably though, if I mention that I like Atari, people assume that I am talking about their gaming consoles (I never even owned one of those until the late 90's).

Today, I put a new Atari related shirt up in the shop.  It's a generic "I heart" tee.

First sale at the new online store. Yay me!

Just had my first sale at http://thewitsend.aliboom.com! Technically, it is the second sale; however, the other one was handled via email and phone call and doesn't register as a sale in the records on the site.

The sale is significant to me (thanks Herb!), because I'm actually paying for a storefront, and I want to make sure that I am at least getting that money back.  Being on a fixed income, I want to be able to show my wife that opening an actual store (as opposed to our shop on Etsy) was a good decision.

This is the item that was sold:
