Another one was the April 17 1980 "Special Commemorative Issue " of Electronics , which was basicly a restricted "trade" magazine. It's a massive 650 page issue which covered 50 years of electronics history. Unless it was also published as a book, there is nothing that can compare. An incredible source of electonics history. At the moment is in a sideways milk crate with other Electronics and my old Bytes and other mags and I must treat them more protectively if they are to be preserved. Mea culpa. But it's nice to just reach down and spend a couple of hours with computer history. ciao larry lwalker(a)interlog.com
