Talk:Jim Butterfield

Untitled
This article is too short for such a brilliant man.
 * I'd agree with the above (unsigned) comment. Many of us in the pre-PC computer generation learned much from Butterfield's prolific (and readable) writings as freely shared in magazines. WHPratt (talk) 16:10, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I met Jim in 1964 and was in a class of his with CN Telecommunications Toronto. He had degrees in Mathematics, Electronics and Teaching. He was involved in writing some of the first scheduling programs for Canadian National Railway. We became close friends through the years and together formed the Commodore computer club shortly after the Commodore PET came on the market as a way to share information with a few others. We had no idea of its growth potential or the influence it would have on the computing world. Jim was involved with the 6502 microprocessor from the start and wrote the book "First Book of Kim" which was a single board Hex entry/display board with several I/O ports. He became the Guru of the 6502. Jim spent a month in my home in Tampa after his chemo and then returned to Toronto to check in to Hospital never to come out. Sadly missed by many.
