It's a radio broadcast from Computer Cafe in January 1985. Just when
the ATARI ST was presented at Las Vegas CES'85. I really hope a new
computer from ATARI will be proposed to fans, forty years later...

It was pretty short and not much more than a puff piece.
Tramiel noted the just released 130ST and 520ST, and mentioned a "true 32-bit" workstation was coming for hopefully less than $1000, which presumably became the TT.

Well, if nothing else, maybe we can hope that Wizztronics will release
their '040 based Falcon that everyone's been talking about lately. I'd certainly love to see that! :)
We know diverse ATARI clones since 1996. I have one, and we all know
the the power of these computers. The big thing would be that the
ATARI firm released another computer now, 40 years later. It should
be partially compatible so that developers have the opportunity to
port GEM software.
Don't you think so?

Yes, I think it would be a bit crazy to start over from scratch. There's
a decent size software library for the ST and it would be a shame for any
one to just turn their back on it. :)

GEM (Graphic Environment Manager) is existing for several platforms
thanks to Digital Research (DR). We know it for ATARI ST, that means
for Motorola 68k processors family. But it also exists for PC, that
means for x86 processors. GEM is already portable for different
computers, so it should be available on actual ATARI computers like
the ATARI VCS, so that developers have the opportunity to port their software. And ATARI VCS should be available outside the USA, indeed.
A large part of ATARI authentic software is portable, and it should
be proposed a way to implement it on today's ATARI computers. I'm
thinking of mine Eureka 2.12, but I'm not the only one, of course!
ATARIans shouldn't give up their past, and original GEM software...

Nolan Bushnell is telling those words in a recent interview to CHM:

to younger person "Try... Don't give up...". These words are not mine.

Good for Nolan! :)

Jack Tramiel is present in Computer History Museum interviews of
course. Nolan Bushnell was never invited, though his contribution to computer prehistory is important. It's better late than never. He was working on applied electronics, but he wasn't really believing in occurrence of the microprocessor business, when it emerged from Intel laboratories in 1971
It's good to listen from Nolan, after all those computer's
celebrities.

Yes DL I am following that as well. Not sure yet I will be in on it,
but would be very cool for them if they could actually get something
out there that would sell. They invested a lot of money in that a
long time ago. Very cool that a bit of a retro market could maybe
help them make it viable.

Jack Tramiel was talking to people like me, I was 20, who couldn't
afford an authentic computer like Macintosh or IBM/PC, because it
was way too expensive for us.
Today, if ATARI was releasing the ATARI VCS all around the world,
and join it an authentic ATARI ST keyboard, it would be great! We
already have joysticks C40. That would seems as 40th anniversary :-)
I would love programming on a true ATARI computer, again...
