I was very sad to hear of Jack's passing. I wish his family well in this terrible time.

I am coping with his death in the only way I know how. Via Meme's.

RIP Jack, I wish we could have had you around until you were 183.

Amiga.org was the first place where I saw the news. Very sorry to hear Jack having passed away. I have been reading the "On the edge" book again and again (currently having the new edition underway).

Thanks, Jack, for everything C= you made possible


Yesterday I put up a small "In memoriam"- display at work (school). I had already my C64 and SX-64 at work, so I printed the Forbes news item and put them all on show at the teachers lounge. I am sorry to see how very little news coverage there has been in local medias.

At least Jack was willing to come out in recent times and fill us in on the details before he went. Too bad about the turn of events that took his company away from him. A guy like that made computing interesting.

Just read this on CNET. Made me quite sad! His key contribution was out before I was born (the c64) but his contribution to bringing computing to everybody can still be felt! Unfortunate his contribution won't be recognised like Steve jobs.
