My understanding is that, in the years during and after the "video game crash", video game publishers and vendors often liquidated their overstock merchandise in the South American market. Perhaps some of those stockpiles either ended up going to Venezuela directly, or were accumulated there over the years.
Whatever the reason, I'm glad these stockpiles still exist and are being made available again. They have brought previously-rare titles down in price and into the hands of collectors, and I've had very good experiences overall with the Venezuelan resellers.

Here's how I hear them: the second pronunciation (the wrong one) sounds like "gull-log-guh", with the emphasis on the second syllable, while the correct one sounds like "gal-ih-guh", with the emphasis on the first syllable. It should sound just like the word "galaxy", except for the last syllable.

Does the 5150 look like the jr? I can't remember. My dad had an XT I think at his work in 1983 and it copied some Atari disks for me. Don't know how but it did.
