Old computer magazines are another passion of mine. I a large
bookshelf full of BYTE magazine, from around 1976 to 1993, and
As had been reported here in May when it happened, Byte is no more,
but the post-game commentary has begun. See Tom Halfhill's
analysis at <http://www.wenet.net/~halfhill/bytefaq.html>,
he was an editor there. Love 'im or hate 'im, Pournelle can't
stop talking about it or anything else at
<http://www.jerrypournelle.com/fiasco.html>.
I agree with Halfhill's assessment in general, that Byte was
perhaps the only general computer magazine as compared to so many
other platform-chauvinistic rags. On the other hand, in the last
few years, many of my copies of Byte went unread.
