Thanks for the link.  :)

I like the story about the 'Friday party' in the part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LupzidnS4iI&feature=channel).
Every Friday, the boss gives his car and his credit card to an employee and ask him to bring things for the party  ;D

I also like the part about checking every morning if there were no dead body's in the office and smoking weed in the woman's bathroom, what a company!  ;D

If you like those stories, you should read The Ultimate History of Video Games. It's full of anecdotes about life at Atari like those in the video.
