Jack Tramiel Part 2: The Commodore 64 vs The TI-99/4A and the American Computer Crash - Kim Justice
🕑 Added 2016-09-23 16:25:32 +0000 UTC In the 2nd part of our look at Jack Tramiel, two more brilliant engineers help to create the Commodore 64, the company's most successful computer. Commodore and Texas Instruments engage in a brutal and bloody price war. Jack ends up getting on the wrong side of Irving Gould for the last time...and we have a bit of a look at the big American crash - the games had already happened, and now it was the computer's turn. Enjoy!

I'm reminded a bit of Yamauchi -san with Jack here, in that his knowledge of the technical side was lacking but he had a very good knack of figuring out what the public would like. In Jack's case this seems to be forcing them to like this and blowing up in his face. Also Yamauchi doesn't seem to have his supreme ruthlessness
