    The e-mail archive of one Atari Engineer, Jed Margolin, who worked in the CoinOp division of Atari. Jed was a hardware engineer at Atari from 1979 to 1992, and these messages comprise his inbox while he was at Atari.

    With permission, the owner of this site, Vikram Oberoi, curates the archive, including pointing at interesting threads. There was no threading in the VAX email system they used, Vikam links together the threads.

    Neither Jobs or Wozniak are mentioned, they left before these threads. But there are interesting topics like layoffs, piracy, residuals, pop culture, babies, etc.

    (Those babies should be into their 30s now. Wonder if any are reading here.)

    great idea. I really hope they add a keyword search feature so one can browse topics of interest (eg Logo, by searching 'logo' or 'turtle'). Otherwise... wow, difficult to navigatge.
