Captain Nemo's submarine ride at Disneyland is my first memory.
asides: of course the book is by Jules Verne. (oops Glice posted) other asides: I also sell products to Pixar Animation Studios. They are owned by Steve Jobs by the way. Today, the Wheel of Fortune Art Department placed an order. I thought that was kinda cool.
My name...
I have no definitive idea about why I chose it. Atari as a company more-or-less sped up silicon evolution & the first PC was built with parts Jobs & Wozniak stole from Atari. Atari orginally is a term invented by oral tradition (not in the original rules) from the world's oldest board game, Go. I think I liked the idea that it was a name followed by a number. Many people online choose an id followed by a number either because all the slots are filled & they must add the number or to designate their year of birth. I like how "atari 2600" had both a name & number & helped to show people what age group I belonged to for naming myself after such an old (albeit pioneering for its time) videogame system.
