He will be missed. I still remember fondly he would fly around the floor of the West Coast Computer Faire on rollerskates, going everywhere to make sure it was running smoothly.

When I was growing up, I saw Triumph of the Nerds by Bob Cringely on PBS. About midway through as I recall there's Jim Warren sitting in a hot tub with a killer view talking about the West Coast Computer Faire and early computing. I had only recently started coding in QBASIC then Visual Basic. Seeing that documentary helped cement my interest in programming and computers in general.<p>Thanks Jim!<p>Edit: Found the first clip. Wish I had a chance to meet him, sounded like a character: <a href="https://youtu.be/toSRmKKiosQ?t=1790" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/toSRmKKiosQ?t=1790</a>
