And, I really love this, from @thomasafine: “Shopping for the latest in computer and video games at Toys 'R' Us, 1983”pic.twitter.com/XK3FNcp83W

I reached out to Dick Heiser by @ShortFormErnie’s recommendation, and he shared two extra photos. Love the energy of the first one – Gary Shannon happy with his creation of Very Tiny Language (smaller even than Tiny Basic!).pic.twitter.com/KiEH9pWxsA
I bought and scanned this photo for you! “Jay Fulce tries out a new wordprocessing program on an Apple Power Macintosh at the Computize Store at 9647 Southwest Freeway. Fulce recently purchased a Macintosh for his home for personal and business use.” Houston, TX, 1994pic.twitter.com/sxq0Uj5m6x

I’ve since discovered there’s a whole category of “computer store owner or employee poses typing on the best machine being sold in said store.”pic.twitter.com/KdsQaADBy8
The swoop of that keyboard is amazing.
I had one, but I got rid of it a while back (it had died), I may still have the printer, and fairly certain I still have the custom hard case for it. My dad worked for DG at the time.
And this display was everywhere back in the day. Most of the photos I can find of it now are modern photos from collectors, or from conferences that have revived this display for nostalgic reasons. (And I bought one. It was my second computer.)https://www.reddit.com/r/atari8bit/comments/53zo04/atari_computer_demonstration_center/ …
