Not Dragon related obviously, but I thought it was probably relevant enough news to people here to warrant posting something.
The founder of Commodore died on sunday. In a way, I kinda have the same feelings as I had when Steve Jobs passed away. From all the accounts I've read about Jack over the years, it seems he wasn't a particularly nice guy but Commodore (in particular with their Amiga acquisition) and Atari had a big impact on my childhood and I have a huge amount of respect for the products his companies put out.
He's a part of computing history, without a doubt.
