He was always the “opposition”, as far as I was concerned as a Sinclair, then Amiga, fan, but it was always obvious that he knew what he was about. “His” Commodore produced some great stuff: the calculators, the PET, the C64. After he left, the company lost the plot, the best example of which being the C65 project: sinking money into a successor to the C64, when they already had one in the A500. Crazy. The ST wasn't, maybe, technically on a par with the Amiga, but Tramiel's Atari made the most of it, no question about that. In some ways, it probably ended up better-known than its rival.
