    Cool! Hopefully I'll get there this time.
    Sure hope I can make the Spring expo. If not, I'll try for the fall one.
    I had a blast at last year's.

    Uh..this is over 23 years old.
    Jim died in 2007. Don't think you'll
    see too many videos from him.

    Yep. But his C64 intro from 1983 is a must for every Commodore fan out
    there.

    Any link? Do you mean the almost two hour long "training tape" available
    at
    https://archive.org/details/commodore-64-training-tape-with-jim-butterfield
    for example?

    Yes, that's the one every Commodore 64 user should watch at some point.

    Jim went so far putting in a Z80 card towards the end of the video to demonstrate some CP/M programs.

    I did see that. There was some other training tapes he made I would love to see. (From what I have heard)
