Oh, you had an ATARI. I also had a Datasette for my VIC-20 and a screwdriver to adjust the sound head in case I got hold of a cassette that couldn't be read without errors. At some point I came up with the trick of setting up the Datasette at different angles, because then the tape of the cassette ran past the tape at different heights.

My first computer was an Atari 400. Later I had a Commodore 64. I finally got a Mac in my second year of college.
