Jack Tramiel Biography
« on: June 22, 2012, 12:01:50 AM »
Does anyone know if there is a biography of Jack Tramiel - as in a professional, published biography?

I have On the Edge, but I'm looking for something more complete and dealing with his whole life.

Thanks!

Have not read it myself, so can't comment of how focused it is on Jack.

It is not complete.

There is an article called "The Design Case History of the Commodore 64" and there are youtube videos where he is interviewed.

There might be something about him at the Holocaust Museum he co-founded.

Now is your chance to interview his family, his ex-employees and other people he worked with from MOS.
