Jack Tramiel was the guy who ran Atari into the toilet. He was the '80s king of vaporware, both at Commodore and Atari, long before Bill Gates inherited the title. His slogan was "Business is War" which meant, usually, war with his customers. Not only that, but his Atari ST computers were not very reliable (I owned 2 of them) while the old Warner-era Atari 800 was probably the best of the 8-bit machines (mine still works after 17 years).
Don't know whatever happened to him or his sons. Maybe they're the guys in charge of public and government relations at Microsoft.;-)
