    Father of Commodore 64 Passes Away at Age 83

    It was big news when Apple co-founder Steve Jobs passed away, but how many people have heard of Jack Tramiel? Outside of tech circles, the answer is probably 'not many' and that's because Tramiel preferred to avoid the spotlight. At one time a taxi driver and an Auschwitz concentration camp survivor, Tramiel founded the company that built the Commodore 64, only best selling PC of all time and an iconic piece of computing history. Sadly, Tramiel died on Sunday, April 8 at age 83.

    I didn't own a Commodore 654, but I still have, but I don't know if they work; 3 Amiga 500s, an Amiga 3000, one A1000.
