I talked about it with my homeroom today. One of my students has a SEALED ET game...why, I don't know, but I'm so excited about this.

I bet it won't!

It's a nothing story really, they found exactly what the experts said they would, despite the sensationalist journalism to the contrary.

I think it should be. To me, this is an event I've always dreamed about.

I saw an interesting news report about the landfill. It seems the found material are from a near atari plant which was converted to a service center due to cost reduction. Due to this change there where several tons of modules, spare parts etc loaded and transported to this area silently. Bad this was seen and made public.

I have already spoken about this and it was public, hence why it was in the Atari book recently.

This was the original story, the E.T. story was the created myth.

I'll bet that somewhere in my local landfill there are some wonderful systems, like Colecovision, just abandoned by bad parents.
