Its amazing how some people achieve big things after all that trauma. I mean surviving those 2 concentration camps and loosing family there. Still pressing on creating big career and getting 3 kids and living a pretty long life.

Without him I would have never get Commodore C64, played Elite, achieved Deadly ranking, moved on to Commodore Amiga, achieved E-L-I-T-E ranking and now be here.

I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Thanks El Viejo

Maybe we can expect biography of Jack Tramiel now at some point. Maybe one of his sons serving as editorial.
