Video of programmer Jim Butterfield
« on: December 19, 2007, 03:02:19 AM »
Video of the late Jim Butterfield at the LUCKI Expo 2005 has now been posted to the Net!  This is the same video that was shown at the Commodore Vegas Expo v3 (2007), at the Vintage Computer Festival X, and at the World of Commodore Expo 2007.  The video is available for download (thanks, Ian) in Quicktime, Windows Media, and Real Player formats.  You can download a section of the video or the complete 45-minute video.  Here is what Ian Matthews of Commodore.ca had to say

"I have created a large selection of options for those who are interested in seeing the mighty Jim. See the bottom of:

Note that the large files are marked in bold and you would be wise to right click on them and select SAVE TARGET AS and save them to your desktop rather than attempting to play them through your browser."

         Check out the many other videos
         there, too,

RIP :-(

I just bought Jim Butterfield's ML programming book on ebay, cost me $35 :-o The man did so much for computer users.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

While rummaging around various Beta, VHS, Digital 8, and DV tapes, I came across a VHS tape that was given to me. Its label was printed, "Chicago Commodore Expo, October 24, 1998 - Jim Butterfield Tells a Commodore Story". I viewed the tape, and though the video quality is only fair, the audio is good, and of course, Jim tells a good story of the early days of Commodore.

That 16-minute video has now been posted! Go to
