This looks like the beginnings of another section of the FAQ, or even its
own list.  Would you be willing to be the KotL for this info?  I'm sure
newcomers would be interested in a list of all the major products for the
Atari 8-bits along with a one-line description, starting with the products
of Atari itself.  This should also include such almost products as the
1450XL.  Or does this list exist somewhere already so that I'm just dis-
playing my ignorance?
