'Byte's early years were fun for hardware
hackers - I wonder if
anybody actually got their 'barcode' software publishing scheme
to work. They had a few issues with pages of barcodes you were
supposedly able to read in with a wand.
I can also recall some MacUser's from the mid-80's had some scheme where
you could read in programs from the magazine with some form of wand, never
really took of tho.
Our uni library has most of the early Byte's all properly bound etc, I
often go and peruse the early editions. One of the stranger articles I
came across was an article on building a bio-feedback device from (June?)
1979.
