• Jack Tramiel

    From Nick Jones@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 6 12:35:12 2021
    Love the quote and I truly admire his dedication and mindset. I've learned through the years that this is the right mindset. If you want to be an entrepreneur you have to be disciplined, cold, and goal-oriented. People who are not determined and give up after their first fail will never succeed. I learned this the hard way. My first business failed many times and I was so close to giving up, but I knew that wasn't an option for me. I started reading about ways to make my business thrive, I even got in touch magento integration for marketing development https://amasty.com/magento-integration-services.html , I did everything in my power to succeed. And guess what? After 3 years of hard work I can easily say it was all worth it...Therefore, I totally agree with what Jack Tramiel said, business is like sex.

    He was also smart, funny but also arrogant.

    The in my opinion best episode of The Computer Chronicles from 1985 had
    some high profile guests being asked about the future development in
    micro computers, because that year saw its first downturn.

    In one segment was Trip Hawkins and (rightful so in my opinion) said that
    after a boom there'll always be a consolidation.

    In another segment was Adam Osborne. Asked at the end if it was the
    Osborne Effect which folded his company he denied and told everybody to
    "reset" and that he won't tell the reason "right now". The smile fell of
    the anchor's (Stewart Cheifet) face. Osborne passed in 2003. I wonder if
    he ever told "the truth" or took it to his grave.

    The third segment saw Jack Tramiel and son and was labeled
    "JackIntosh". He was Atari's boss for not even a year and the Atari ST
    just hit the shelves. When asked what he thought of the rumors of a new
    and powerful computer by Commodore (the Amiga, but I think the name
    wasn't mentioned because it wasn't known yet) he said he hadn't seen it
    yet, but wasn't worried. Asked about COLECO and their failed Adam
    computer Tramiel said something like "COLECO is a good toy maker". That
    was all he said. *LOL*
