Quote: 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
I do! But how? BTW Jeroen, can you send me your e-mail addy to: joachim_wijnhoven@hotmail.com. I have some questions about your SIDs to be placed in STIL of HVSC. Hope you have the time! |

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. |

RIP Mr. Tramiel.
Visionary, business shark, man of good and bad decisions that created wonderful computers at the end. The world would be some great machines less without him. Anyway, I'm not sure that he would fit as a normal "scener" (about C64, he had vastly different motivations from all sceners I think) but I do agree that he should be mentioned in scene archives and deserves a special place. |

Full ACK with Jeroen, except for adding him to the database. |

The face of himself has less blackoutline, while the Commodore logo does have black outlines. A brown/pink face, with black/grey suit, on a grey background with a grey/white Commodore logo, and some stripes in the background, along with the text (birthday etc.)..
