Sending out best wishes to Jim Butterfield on his health and recovery. "While the chemo business seems to be over, I have currently developed a problem with my jaw (TMJ). So if it isn't one darn thing, it's another. " Please send Jim your best wishes for his health and recovery. And maybe we can get him to come out to the next TPUG meeting and/or dinner :) "my ISP service seems to have temporarily lost its feed to the commodore newsgroup" Anyone have any ideas to help him out? Is there a way to send him zipped copies of the newsgroup? Gil Kimmyland

Jim was /is / and always will be an icon, when ever anyone mentions Commodore. His contributions of programs, books, and everything else one could imagine, to the C=ommodore users of the world is far beyond the realm of a casual user. The man is a genius, and without his presence in the early years, the Commodore could or would not be was it evolved to. Thank You Mr. Butterfield. Rick Youngman

And I regret not being able to hang around with Jim and enjoy all things commodore. Oh well. Best wishes go out to Jim.

He's out of the hospital and making an excellent recovery. His trademark sideburns are even growing back ;-) I'll let Jim fill in details himself once he gets back online, but I thought I'd at least pass that bit of good news on. Regards, Leif

Glad to hear that he is doing well! We've been praying for him for quite some time now. He's my personal "FAVORITE" Commodore programmer! Maybe it's because he was the first to crack the codes, maybe cause he was a master raster blaster. Either way, his articles really helped me out on how to use the machines and get the most out of them and his directory editing program will go down in Commodore Lore as one of the best in history! Hopefully I will be able to meet him in person someday. Thanks Jim! We love ya! Charles>8-Bit Designs
