"Today Tramiel is basically retired and managing his money. From four
residences, he's cut down to one, a palatial house atop a foothill
in Monte Sereno, Calif." So he may still be around. Switchboard.com
only found five Tramiel in CA but no Jack, and I don't remember
his sons' names at the moment, but he had two (?) working at
Atari back in the day.
Now, is Gould still alive?

I similarly
have an great affection for the Atari ST. The OS was all in ram and
despite all the criticisms of TOS and the underlying GEM , it was a pretty
remarkable system for it's time. Just too bad it had the 4meg limitation and
that the Tramiels were in charge.
Is Jack still alive? I've often wondered who did a worse job running their
respective companies...he or Irving Gould at Commodore.
