RIP: Jack Tramiel

[thewayne]

A computer pioneer of a different sort, Jack was the maker of the Commodore 64, undeniably a seminal computer in the PC revolution. He had quite a history: born in Poland, interred at Aushwitz, and started a typewriter company that became a computer company that made one of the first truly affordable computers.

Oddly, neither Wired nor Slashdot seem to have mentioned it yet.
