    Andy... Andy... your Atari knowledge is slipping!   
      
    Ok, here is what we had in the Atari line...   
      
   400/800 - Beige, looked like type writers, much like the Vic 20   
   1200/800/600 - The "XL" line. This was a dark brown with silver trim.   
   130/800/65 - The "XE" line. Grey plastics, a bit small.   
   XEGS - A darker grey than the XE, with pastel colored buttons.   
    A game machine with a detachable keyboard.
