I was a die hard Atari user and transitioned over from the console systems to an 8-Bit Atari 400. I too had a (used) Spectre or Magic Sac, (I forget which one) that I was running on an Atari ST a few years later.
When Atari started to get stupid and ridiculous, I bolted. My brother had dumped his Atari's about a year or so ahead of me and was always bragging up his Packard Bell. I couldn't get into Windows at all, so I started to look at Apple stuff again. I found out that they weren't quite as expensive as the used to be and I jumped in with a brand new Performa 400. It was a great little computer with more support than Atari was giving at the time.
About a dozen macs later, and I haven't looked back.
