Hello chums and chumettes.
You know I did that blog about a computing legend (that wasn't that cunt Steve Jobs) dying? I learnt today another computing legend has died.
That legend is a Mr Jack Tramiel. You may have heard of him. He founded both Commodore International AND Atari computing. He gave us the popular systems like Commodore 64 and Amiga, and Atari ST.
He started off repairing typewriters, then sold calculators, then started Commodore Business Machines.
For more history and information about him, see http://blog.retrogamer.net/general/commodore-founder-jack-tramiel-dies/
He was 83
