Comment on Jack Tramiel, founder of Commodore, dies at age 83

Comments

I found a "lost" article I wrote about Jack from 2007. He was an Auschvitz survivor, almost died in a plane accident, and was an unsung visionary that, perhaps, was the first to truly commoditize compute power.

I didn't know Jack survived Auschwitz. It makes me even sadder. Being able to create those machines after such a life commands respect.
