I just found out an interesting fact about my grandpa through a local newspaper article:

My grandpa is the only person I know who had an Atari Jaguar. We'd bust it out on holidays and gawk at teh grafix. Then the N64 came out and we ridiculed the Jaguar's supposed 64-bitness. Puny Atari.
I had no idea that he was the president of the Michiana Atari Club, or even that such a thing existed. He talks about it in the present tense, so I assume it's still around. I wonder what they do when they meet..... I'll have to ask him on Easter.
