Originally published by L.S. Media April 11th 2012.

Jack Tramiel’s name might not off the lips of the modern day computer owner but in his day he was the man who helped build a computer empire, twice.

The pioneer of the computer industry helped shaped the fortunes of both Commodore and Atari.  He ushered in the biggest selling single personal computer of all time despite being up against the early Apple II and passed away on Sunday 8th April at his home in Mount Sereno, California at the age of 83.
