Hi,

Here is a video presentation of the ATARI ST at Las Vegas CES 1985:

*Atari ST Launch & First Public Demo* - *Winter CES 1985*
At the Rees channel 2022/01/07 LAS VEGAS

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcK4kCuYthA>

Atari 130ST and 520ST first public demo from the Winter Consumer
Electronics Show 1985, hosted in Las Vegas in January 1985.

In it the unknown announcer discusses the ST's TOS operating system and
its desktop - GEM - including its original CP/M-68K underpinnings, which
of course were replaced with GEMDOS shortly before release. There are a
few interesting differences between the version demoed here and the
final release, including the desktop icons which had to be changed due
to a lawsuit from Apple.

This video seems to have vanished from YouTube so I decided to upload
this segment for preservation.

This was 40 years ago, because the Las Vegas CES begins these days =)
