I think that the ads are fantastic. I was about 13 in 1980, and I
remember going to the public library to read these mags. So, when I see
these ads I sort of have Deja Vu. If you look at the Bytes from 1978 through
1983, you can see the change in focus among the hardware platforms. It's
sort of like watching a flower bloom in slow motion.
