I love the presumption in the user guide for this that the person being shown the demo will be male:

"he'll be able to use his computer right away even if he has never used a computer before"

Also, this was programmed in Forth, not "Machine Language".

"Neil" was programmed into both the disk and cart versions. Michael Albaugh explains the story behind the name in his interview with Kevin Savetz. He also mentions the cart version had to exclude some of the screens from the disk version, since he only had 16K to work with (and that was the first 16K cart Atari did for the 400/800).

This 16K download cartridge image is very lame. The real program was 32K on a disk, and the naughty remix also used the 32K ver for its seed. As you can imagine the 16K ver shows almost half as much prerecorded data than the better one(s) and this cartridge thinks your name is "NEIL" when no one gives any name in time. Hard to believe this cart was mass produced, more like this is a limited edition maybe for as few as one guy a sales rep named Neil who was too simple or lazy to load the better disk program.

just saw the altered one, what a laugh with some shame. its filename arrived "S & M", rated ma14 mature. i must assume we've seen the same one. the music to go with it is over the top.

Has anybody seen the infamous "altered text" version? Classic.
