One of those persons that you don't even know personally but that have a huge impact in your life. Somehow, he changed my life in 1986 and I didn't notice at the time.

Rest in Peace Jack Tramiel!

Sad just saw the news on my FB news feed .  I can honestly say that if the C64 had never been made my life would be different to say the least.  The C64 was my first computer and had/ have a blast using it.  Yep she still works

I would like to add my 2cents to all of this too:

Commodore will always be apart of me for both the Commodore64/128 and the Amiga line.  Commodore and Jack made it possible for a whole generation to own a computer and that was a jumping off point for so many careers, innovations, and personal lives.  I am happy to say that I was in that group.

My experience with a Commodore 64 in 1983 (for Christmas) was the most life-changing product I've ever owned.  Jack's passing is another mark in my history of getting older and watching those that have come before me pass into history.  

I think Jack touched many people's lives and whether he was as ruthless as the stories paint him I do not know.  I am just glad for the good that he has done and wish him well in the next life.


Thank you Jack.

RIP

I couldn't be more agree with you, I feel exactly the same way. The Commodore 64, my first computer, changed my life forever.

Thank you, Jack.
