- But Seriously. Whenever you take pictures of equipment you try to present
- the concept in the cleanest possible way. If I remember that ad correctly
- the mouse appears to be connected to the rear of the system. Next time
- you see a person using an electronic gadget in the movies or on TV look

- and in his living room was an Atari "wedding cake". It could have been
