Excellent! Thanks for the heads-up, Brad.
As noted, TVO has had some of the episodes up for quite a while but it's nice
to finally see someone put them all on line.
Golan had made a DVD set of the B&B episodes a couple of years ago and was
selling them to TPUG folks for a nominal amount, but he seems to have faded
from the scene.
What's different about the set currently available is that it also contains the
accompanying episodes of The Academy (with Jim Butterfield) and also the
sequel, Bits and Bytes II.

Hey guys – the Bits and Bytes videos have been posted on YouTube thanks to
some kind soul:
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL77441A2ED0D0B6A8
You can simply download them(use Mozilla with the Best Video Downloader
plugin) in the format of your choice and burn them yourself with the software
of your choice. Remember that if you aren’t doing your own DVD titles on an
Amiga with a genlock you’re doing it wrong! J

> My father was friends with Billy and Luba. I have some of the episodes on
Beta hehe.
I'm sure she'd deny it if you asked her ;-) but Luba and I dated for a
(short) while...
There was a meeting I recall with Butterfield my Dad and Billy had.. And a
few days later my father came home with c64 and white 1541. It was awesome, my
parents were both teachers and my father dragged a pet home for the summer and
we watched bits and bytes together and programmed stuff, eating pizza and
making jokes about billy and the hilarious house of frighten stein. He was a
cool guy.
He was indeed; lots of laughs and clowning between takes (and occasionally
during, to the consternation of the director and producer ;-)
And Butterfield was of course also a cool guy, albeit in a different way.
Good times...
I assume that he-who-will-remain-unnamed who is making the DVDs when he has
time will sooner or later get in touch with those who are asking about them.
Where were ya when they were first announced and available at the TPUG
meeting?

I too would love a copy on DVD, would like to know the cost as well J
Cheers. J who remembers a series called FastForward they discussed computer
Technology most likely circa 1980? Maybe? David Stringer used to do segments
on it from what I recall.
I saw him at active surplus a while ago, said hi, and that I thought he was
cool… J he got a kick out of it.
