Finally, the last batch of noteworthy retro hardware...... A nice Atari 1040STE. A first for me, i never had contact with the ST machines because they tend to go for a pretty penny. So it was on the wish list for ages, until this came along for the low price of 59€ and no shipping !!!!! 1040STE.jpg …
