Whats great is that the Atari is easily programmed by good hackers and so
so much is free.  [The term hacker, is used here in its original complimentary

Turtle is available on USENET as freeware (I think is free, otherwise its
sharware and cheap).  It is fast, reliable and even tries to wash the dishes.
