Jack Tramiel passed away

Not entirely accurate: "One of Tramiel's first acts after forming Atari Corp. was to fire most of Atari's remaining staff and cancel almost all ongoing projects in order to review their continued viability. It was during this time in late July that Tramiel's representatives discovered the original Atari Inc./Amiga contract. " Jack never fired anyone, his company - TTL (Tramiel Technologies Limited) bought assets and IP from Warner as well as the Atari name and logo. Warner retained the remainder of the company as well as the employee's. Jack spent 2 weeks interviewing and HIRING Atari employee's to work at TTL which was renamed Atari Corp, so the Warner-Atari employees came over to work at a new company called Atari Corp. Those who weren't selected, Warner fired them... "Tramiels representatives..." no, Tramiels son - Leonard Tramiel found the cashed check to Amiga for $500,000 from Mar 3, 1984 and then located the contract between Atari and Amiga for the $500K advance to continue the chip work and development of the Amiga while giving Atari engineers access to the technical information as well as "tape outs" located in an Escrow account at a bank until Amiga delivered the finished chips. The full details, including David Morse's own court testimony will be in our 2nd Atari History book in December called "Business is War: Atari Corp." There was a LOT more going on behind the scene's then people realize and RJ Mical's complete mis-recounting of the story which he publicly admits "do you want the truth or a good story, I prefer a good story" are completely corrected in the book....
