• Atari siempre fue una empresa impulsada por la tecnología, y nos gustaba mucho mantener la vanguardia tecnológica en todo. Innovamos en un montón de cosas. Hicimos el primer ordenador que hacía sellos o sprites, hicimos mapeado de pantalla por primera vez, y un montón de cosas por el estilo. Teníamos algunos de los sistemas de creación de sonido más sofisticados y jugamos un papel decisivo en el MIDI.

• Así que fuimos a Atari y le dijimos: 'Oye, tenemos esta cosa increíble, incluso construida con algunas de vuestras piezas, ¿qué os parece si nos financiáis? O te lo regalamos. Sólo queremos hacerlo. Pagar nuestro salario, vamos a venir a trabajar para usted ". Y dijeron, 'No'. Así que fuimos a Hewlett-Packard, y nos dijeron: "Hey, no os necesitamos. Aún no habéis terminado la universidad'.

• Indisputably we live in a shaped reality, an artificialism. Most people who grasp this are thinking only at a consumer-level, of the "things" they like and need and feel impelled to acquire. But our societal and political arrangements are just as much manipulations of game-pieces and rules as is any Atari or Sega product. The subliminal psychology that drives people to become addicted to games, not to be able to see over the edges of their labyrinths, is transferable to any field whatsoever.

• Everybody copied Atari products. So we started messing with them and it was fun. We bought enough chips that we could get them mislabeled. So we bankrupted at least two companies which copied our boards, and bought all the parts but they were the wrong parts, so they're sitting on all this inventory they can't sell because the games don't work.

• In 1980, Atari was bringing in around two billion dollars in revenue and Chuck E. Cheese's some five hundred million. I still didn't feel too bad that I had turned down a one-third ownership of Apple - although I was beginning to think it might turn out to be a mistake.

• En consonancia con el afecto de mi familia por las líneas de productos condenadas al fracaso y los formatos embrujados, compramos un Betamax. El año anterior, habíamos comprado un TRS-80 en lugar de un Apple II, y a su debido tiempo sacaríamos de la caja la Intellivision de Mattel, en lugar del legendario artilugio de Atari. Fue un buen entrenamiento para un escritor, porque cuanto antes aceptes que eres un idiota iluso que siempre está fuera de la realidad, mejor te irá.

Apple took the edge of the word 'computer', plus it would get us a head of Atari in the phone book. He told Wozniak if a better name did not hit them by the next afternoon, they would just stick with apple and they did.  1 Apr 1976
