Of course you are. I talked to Jeroen yesterday and he told me that he also mentioned alot other composers that were among the best - but that was left out in the end. He also told me that he actually spoke alot about Jack Tramiel whom he met back in 1987 but that was also left out - quite strange as the program was about his death... So things were cut out... |

Ok! That explains it! (I was also a bit surprised!) Too bad they left out a lot. Would have loved to see it. |

Considering the broadcasting association that had the interview with Jeroen, it's not that strange that they totally forgot about Jack Tramiel.
More information on this broadcast association is found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowNed
The website http://www.geenstijl.nl/ started this network originally. Mor informatie on this website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeenStijl.nl
Not my cup of tea, to be honest. |

Actually they did pay respect to Jack Tramiel but at the same time gave Jeroen the recognition he deserves.
Maybe you should check it out ;)
But more on-topic: RIP Jack Tramiel, thanks for the inspiration. "I don't believe in compromises, i believe in winning". |

Quote: That's cool, thanks for sharing that link mate.
Interviewer: "Nou denkt iedereen wat staan we hier met Jeroen Tel te praten? Maar U bent de beroemdste componist van de commodore 64?"
JT: "Ja, klopt"
Interviewer: "Van de wereld!"
JT: "Van de wereld, ja".
Sorry that was hilaric, really. You dutchies are crazy :-)
I have to quote this! I mentioned other C64 composers too but they bluntly edited it out of the TV item! I am not responsible for that! :) |

We spend time on this forum / Database because of Jack Tramiel. When he would've been gassed in the chambers of Auschwitz we *all* would very likely not even ever meet in life. I deeply respect him for what he did after his war-period. He blazed war against the industry and succeeded by producing the best sold home computer ever, with in my opinion the best sound-chip ever. Anyway... He should be added the CSDb database in some way or form? Who agrees?
Cheers,
Jeroen |

Quoting JT_MoNAnyway... He should be added the CSDb database in some way or form? Who agrees?
Intersting enough, he is already here: Tramiel Jack ...
Although I don't think he belongs here as a scener - I think by the so far 2 memorial releases Jack Tramiel: Rest in Peace! and RIP Jack Tramiel , he is honoured in a very good way. When entering "Tramiel" in the search, one gets to see how the scene remembers him - I think that is the best we could do.
May he rest in peace. |

To me the C64 scene is like a cult/religion (probably the most interesting and peaceful as well ;))... so I would see Jack Tramiel as a prophet rather than a scener. |
