   So being a holocaust survivor gives him free passage to do what he   
   wants, and nobody can dislike him when what he does pisses people off?   
      
   He may have been significant for bringing computers to the consumer   
   class via Commodore, but his travesties with Atari are far more infamous   
   and reviled.  there are many more people who dislike him, which is part   
   of why his public appearance are few and not far enough between.   
      
   Now on the throwing tomatoes at him, that's both socially unacceptable   
   now days and would bring assault charges.  But peppering him with   
   questions about his Atari foibles, that's fair game, and I hope several   
   people do the latter.
