I loved BYTE, but I could lose the hyperbole:
What’s the most-loved computer magazine of all time? There’s really only one contender: BYTE,
Creative Computing, Kilobaud, and Dr Dobb's Journal are all strong contenders, in my book.
- ghshephard 16y agoAgreed. If you were to ask me about favorite magazines, BYTE would be in the running, but, in terms of loving - Compute! (and it's associated books) have a fond place in my heart. I spent many _hundreds_ of hours pouring through their assembly tutorials, learning about sprites, collisions, vertical/horizontal refreshes, and pretty much every everything they wrote on the C64, my beloved first computer.
- michael_dorfman 16y agoYes, Compute!-- and it's predecessor, The Pet Gazette.

- dhimes 16y agoCreative Computing for me in the '70s, published by David Ahl. Interesting chap. http://www.swapmeetdave.com/Ahl/DHAbio.htm http://www.swapmeetdave.com/Ahl/DHAbio.htm
- rbanffy 16y agoIndeed. Very surprised by http://www.swapmeetdave.com/Ahl/Albums/Synecdoche-6-07/index.html http://www.swapmeetdave.com/Ahl/Albums/Synecdoche-6-07/index... I hope he does release a full collection of scanned/OCRed Creative Computing issues.
