So the Commodore guy passed away today. It's too bad he never became a household name- in fact, I had to just now google it to remember what it is- Jack Tramiel. According to this obituary he wasn't part of Commodore anymore when the Amiga came along, but the Amiga was my first home computer- the original one and then, a few years later, the Amiga 2000 with an astonishing 20 Mb hard drive. But my neighbour had a Commodore 64 and we spent many hours playing Aliens and Rambo on it. Games were what I mostly did back then, and on the Amiga there was this kickass paint program called DeluxePaint which I spent many, many hours on but unfortunately my mastery of that never translated to any kind of affinity for Photoshop. Anyways.
