The ATARI VCS console is available in a few shops, in the US.
I don't think I can buy it, first hand, from France yet ...

Thanks, Francois.

I have a local Walmart, but a website search reports the unit is out of
stock.

The price is more than I can afford, at the moment, so I did not check
stock there.

My apologies for sending you the private email. That was not my intent.

I use Thunderbird, and sadly the program is gong in a direction that
makes this more difficult for me to use, as well as a couple of "dumb"
chages that make no sense for ease of use.

I would like to buy it from France. But it's not ready yet.
