Sadly another life passed away, although bear in mind the creators of the SID/VIC as well (Bob yannes etc) Not passed away, but responsible for the innards of the c64. ofcourse the C64 would not be here without Jack |

Whatever people might say about Jack, he did make computing affordable for most for the first time. I learned so much from my c64, I can honestly say my life would have been really different now if I never had one..
@Exile : it seems they somehow got hold of Jeroen Tel, so he'll be on tv tonight.. |

Sad, but what a fantastic story his life was. Coming all the way from a concentration camp, to starting up a typewriter company that evolved into creating some of the most popular homecomputers which spread joy to millions of kids. |

RIP Jack. C64 and C128 were my favorites even when the 16-bits and PC's were popular. |

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 :-) |
