Byte was the magazine that had things I dreamed about and pointers to learn about new things. I started reading it in the 80's and lost track sometime in the 90's. It with Antic, Dr. Dobbs Journal, and Creative Computing defined what was computing to me in my jr high and high school years. I don't really think any website has given me the same feelings as those magazines.
It is interesting to compare Byte's 1985 Computer Conferencing issues with what we have now: https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1985-12 https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1985-12

- pjmlp 9y agoSince the 80's I would eagerly wait for monthly releases of Microhobby, Crash, Amiga Format, DDJ, CUJ, Computer Shooper (UK edition), Gamasutra, Linux Journal, MS Systems Journal. Now we just have blog posts.

- le-mark 9y agoAre you referring to Swyft Card or Raskin? How are either significant, for the uninformed? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7544389 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7544389
