The guy that developed the Atari ST saved your life?


Jack was kicked out of his own co. Commodore because he wanted to slash prices and so dominate market share.

He bought Atari with all his cash available and the ST (better than both EGA PC and Mono Macintosh btw) was all he could produce with time/money/resources he had as Warner's Atari he bought was hemorrhaging money faster than even Commodore ever did in AGA years.

Back on topic, this is horrible news. VIC/PET/C64 have more style and class than any computer/console made to date.

World would have been a lot less fun had he not started that little typewriter repair company which would one day become the producers of the finest computers the world has ever seen.

RIP :(
