discussed or proposed by one of the mags years earlier, more in the
IMSAI/Altair era.

Byte or Kilobaud to establish a
bar-code-type standard to print bit-streams of code/data in the magazine that
users/readers would read into their computer with a wand.
Which this list has discussed many times before.
