Hello All,

	I have been given an Atari 400.  Now, the question
is - What can be done with said beast?  Is there any scope
for expansion?  Are there any higher level languages available
for this?

	My knowledge of Home Computers is nil.  My personal
computer is a VAX (Semi :-).  I would like to utilise it in
some suitable fashion.  If there was some way of inputing data,
I might consider buying an Atari 800 XL, and somehow trying to
couple the two via a loosely coupled network of sorts.  This
might be an interesting way to make up for the lack of cycles.
I can imagine all sorts of interesting hacking possible.  However,
there would have to be either a) A decent Assembly Language environment
OR b) Some language with control structures.

Regards,
