   	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.
