Jack Tramiel, one of the PC industry's pioneers has passed away. The father of the iconic legendary computer, the Commodore 64 was born in 1928 and after surviving a prison stint in Auschwitz followed by another concentration camp during World War II, he established the 'Commodore' business name in 1953. His most celebrated endeavor was the Commodore 64 which was one of the first computers that was ever built for the masses, not for the classes as Tramiel put it later on in his life. Although no one uses a Commodore today, the legacy lives on in how his device made the concept of a home computer popular.
