    The ATARI VCS console is available in a few shops, in the US.
    I don't think I can buy it, first hand, from France yet ...

    Thanks, Francois.

    I have a local Walmart, but a website search reports the unit is out of
    stock.

    The price is more than I can afford, at the moment, so I did not check
    stock there.

    My apologies for sending you the private email. That was not my intent.

    I use Thunderbird, and sadly the program is gong in a direction that
    makes this more difficult for me to use, as well as a couple of "dumb"
    chages that make no sense for ease of use.

    The VCS can now be bought in Canada... <https://mailchi.mp/atari/atari-vcs-now-shipping-to-canada>
    I would like to buy it from France. But it's not ready yet.
