my favorite apple commodore exchange summing up the whole deal happened during computer history museums Commodore 64 25th anniversary panel ▶ this video . paraphrasing Tramiel: Unlike Apple I made computers for the lowest price possible enabling millions to own one. Wozniak: Unlike you Apple sold their computers at the price point that allowed them to not go bankrupt.
RIP Jack Tramiel! Here is Computer History Museum 25th Anniversary Celebration of Commodore 64 with him on the panel ▶ this video Micro computers were a startup movement in a true sense of the word.
If you can afford it you should always sell a product for no more than a 100% of your cost. [1] [1] 31:50 ▶ this video
