Re: Jack Tramiel died

Heard about this when it happened.   All I have to say is, love him or 
hate him (and I think you should love him just for the reason of what I 
am about to say) you have to admit that without him Atari would have 
been a name that would have stopped in the 80's.   And for those of us 
who like the later stuff of the ST line, Lynx and Jaguar, he at least 
made those happen.

So a man in my book that will be greatly missed.
