Then you probably remember Jim Butterfield, who was a regular on TVO
back then.  I knew him from work at CNCP Telecommunications.  By 1983, I
had my own computer, an IMSAI 8080, for 7 years and worked as a computer
tech on the old "mini" computers, for 6.

Incidentally, a show I used to watch was "The Computer Chronicles" on
PBS.  Gary Killdall, the creator of CP/M, was a regular on that show.
