If you're wanting to explore the history of messaging, olduse.net has a 30-year delayed live newsfeed... Mostly I learnt that just about nothing has changed...

  As a nice supplement the Conference issue of Byte is on the Internet Archive. The issue has a painting of a ribbon cable on the cover.

      Ah, Byte. There's nothing like it, and there probably never will be. Where else could you find circuit diagrams, assembly listings, and explorations of HLLs, next to all kinds other computer-related explorations? It has a kind of magic to it, which I can't find in any other magazine to this day.
