Dale, <Jack Tramiel made it quite clear that the Commodore 64 was payback time for TI. Eventually, he was forced to resign as CEO because of the perception that he was more interested in crushing TI than optimizing profits from the Commodore 64.>

Wow, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I wonder what he's up to these days. I remember after he left Commodore, he became CEO of an ailing Atari Inc. Among some of his achievements was a new line of computers named "ST" using the Motorola 68K and a Mac-like operating system.

I lost track after that. Atari tried to enter game consoles with Jaguar and marketed it with the memorable slogan "Do the math." Unfortunately, the games weren't so memorable. Was Jack Tramiel still around then?
