- The following is probably of little importance to most of us, but
- somebody who has great interest in such things once told me that
- the ATA date codes on TI products give the week (1st 2 digits) nad
- and year (last 2 digits) of production.
- Now here I hold 2 cartridges of the same title (early learning fun)
- both with ATA0883 code. But one has a 5-digit serial number,
- and the other has a 7-digit serial number. How could that be?
- Were they really produced in the same week of 1983?
