I have been scanning and OCRing BYTE magazines, and so far have a stack two feet tall of
magazines which have been de-spined with a large paper cutter.
Dates are from 1978 to 1987 - not all issues are present.
They are free to anyone who wants to pick-up or pay shipping.
They are in southern California, Orange County, 92656
I have half as many which have NOT been de-spined, and are intact - someone else has
already scanned those issues, so I won't cut up mine, but will still give them away -
nothing earlier than 1980 though.
Steve.

Very nice...has anyone put together a package of the scanned bytes or a torrent do
download a bunch at once?
Also, any scanned images of creative computing? That was the first computer magazine I
ever subscribed to..I wish I had saved
copies of it.
Thanks.

Amazing article. Thanks.
People do use words like "innovation" or "creativity" too loosely.
Nice
perspective.
Read it enviously. Bell Labs, as it was, certainly seems like the best
place in the world to work in.

It was not. The Bell Labs old timers I meet mostly universally say
office politics, backstabbing, and competition were intense at the
Labs. Plus, all that fun Bell System red tape.

Pacific Bell, one of the Baby Bells that spawned from the break-up of
AT&T (that later recombined).

I thought he was a Pacific Bell engineer, but that's coming from my increasingly fuzzy
memory and may well be wrong. One could always look it up.
I guess Pac Bell *was* AT&T, but I think they were broken apart by then.

Thanks all for the clarification. It appears I was off target, albeit
not totally misguided.
Amazing as it may seem to Americans, we citizens of the rest of the
world don't have AT&T - any of it - or Sprint or Verizon or Cingular,
so it's all a bit confusing...
(Mind you, saying that, with the modern climate of megacorporations
who own chunks of one another, I am sure their tentacles pervade even
the British market.)

No. For instance, I find it amusing that Bell Labs proudly advertised
that Claude Shannon worked there. According to a colleague who got his
ScD at MIT and worked at the Labs, Shannon left the Labs to teach and do
research at MIT because of the caustic environment and poor management.
In particular, many senior employees in the math group looked down on
Shannon, and were allowed by management to treat him accordingly,
because his theories and papers were not rigorous enough for them.
Shannon was much happier at MIT than Bell Labs.
