Computer Legend and Gaming Pioneer Jack Tramiel Dies at Age 83
This is how it was back in the early 1980s.
Apple was cool, but Commodore was affordable.
I have no shame in saying that my first computer, a Commodore-64, was bought at a toy store, Toys R Us, for only $200.
Jack Tramiel made that possible.
And when I couldn’t afford the Macintosh, he was there selling the Atari ST.
Thank you, Jack Tramiel.
Rest in peace.

RIP. Absolutely. My second and third computers were the C64 and C128 Commodores. I thought I was in heaven. Done a lot of basic programming on those. Had more fun than really should have been allowed. Now Jack is in heaven. You done good.
