I regret to advise the Commodore
community that Jim Butterfield has
passed away. Jim died at 1:30 AM on
June 29 after battling cancer which
infected many parts of his body.
His family advises that there will not
be a funeral as such but a
commemoration of Jim's life is planned
in the next month or two. At the
moment that is all the detail thbt I
have to report.
We have all lost a truly wonderful
friend and teacher.

Very sad news this issue with the
passing of Jim Butterfield on the 29th
of June 2007, For many Jim was an
inspiration taking complex information
and changing it into a format many
people found easier to digest. I am
sure he will be missed by a great many
people.
Jim_s Work should not be lost, we
should pool our efforts and create a
website with all his works in one
place. Other younger users may not
have read or met Jim and should not
have to go without his words of
wisdom.
I try to contact users and
manufacturers that I would like to
read about as a Commodore user, for
example last month was an interview
with worldlam about potential purchase
of CMD and why he is buying up so much
Commodore equipment. Some people felt
the interview wasn't justified and a
waste of time. I disagree because it
raises the question about CMD and the
problems Maurice is having in
manufacturing the products. Maybe
Maurice should sell the hardware and
concentrate on the software side.
Many people feel angry to Maurice, I
myself feel some anger that Maurice
took my money knowing full well he
could not provide the goods in the
time scale he promised. Also Maurice
won't answer any of my emails, and
requests for a refund of my money.
We need good companies supporting
Commodore but having a company take
money and then have problems providing
the goods is just having a negative
effect on the community.
I was ready for some hate mail from
the Worldlam interview, although it
wasn't realy hate mail more that
people felt there were others who
should have been interviewed instead.
Ok interview them and send me the
questions and answers session, I will
print the text in the magazine
remember the Commodore Free team is
just ME, and it's a lot of work to
produce in just 1 month, also remember
the amount of work that goes into
asking questions, some users agreed to
interviews and I would write the
questions but never receive answers
for whatever reason, this is fine but
it takes me more time, I need your
input and articles.
Thanks
