Sad news.  RIP Jack

My first computer was a CBM4032 followed by a C64 while you were still running Commodore. By all accounts you were a hard task master but, given your  personal family history (Auschwitz survivor) it's perhaps no surprise.

I  wonder how the Amiga (& Commodore) would have turned out if you had  remained at Commodore?  It will be interesting to see how the  revisionist Microsoft/Apple media commemorate one of the great icons of  the Personal computer age.

And Steve Jobs will still be celebrated less accurately than he should be...weird.

Apple still applies the concept of computers for the classes not for the masses...double weird.
