It looks like the founder of Commodore, Jack Tramiel is no more.
It's pretty safe to say that without the C64 I wouldn't have had so much fun with games, learned to code because 'the game I wanted wasn't exactly what was there' and then kind of accidentally fell into coding as a career. Likewise my family were definitely one of the masses, not the classes, so love or hate his 'get it out the door cheap' attitude I wouldn't be where I am without it.
so cheers for everything...
