I haven't changed some of my web pages in almost five years.

If you Google
Atari History
my name and a link to a page on my site is on the first page of links returned!
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Atari+History&btnG=Google+Search

Peace, the anti-Bush.

Nice one.

Although LGD was always my fave Atari site even before DB. Which came as a suprise when I found Rich ran it. Which was about the same time as when I couldn't find a certain game after downloading a good few gigs worth of stuff

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

Keeping at the top is time consuming and hard work

Time consuming is right. I figure the only reason my page ranks so high is that I haven't modified it since June 2000. It took 5 years to percolate to the top.

Mr. Davey I take my hat off to you. You are the true Atari authority on this board.

Did any of you ever hear of YEMACYB? That was my baby.

Have to confess I've never done anything, ever, to get any of my sites to the top of the Google lists - they just get there by themselves. Mind you, being the most popular in a certain niche kinda helps

It rings a bell. It had something to do with printing, right?

Yes sir empty, you have quite a memory.
YEllow
MAgenta
CYan

The worst product name ever. However it was three times faster than the closest competition, with 2.5 times the printout size. It's claim to fame is that one could obtain 128 color screen dump printouts using a B&W dot matrix simply by manually exchanging ribbons and aligning th paper. Which saved many users the hundreds of dollars for a color printer. For thousands it was their first experience in color printing. It also ran on color printers as well. All in all it was a very good experience. I just hope that no one is still using it, those things were noisy.

Peace, the anti-Bush.
