Atari Calculator cartridge: The Atari Calculator was originally scheduled as a cartridge. Because Atari did not manage it to sell this in 1979 and on top needed 2 more years to publish it on diskette in 1981, we decided to honor the author of Calculator, Carol Shaw, with the creation of a cartridge label, which matches best the design of those times. The next free CXL-number was assigned so, but you as the reader know, it should have been a CXL-number with a double zero "00" ;-). The creation of the label, its accuracy, its colors etc. would not have been possible without [Oliver Rapp|http://des-or-mad.net]. Oliver, we all thank you so much! Please go ahead with your outstanding work in graphics and design.
