All my best computer journalism memories are from staring at Byte covers and then reading them cover to cover. Thank you for reasons to find a collection to go

  Yes and some top-end technical stuff, that in many ways you can only get in a bit here and a bit there kinda way upon the web today. One memory of magazines back then, I enjoyed reading the adverts and it is ironic as I probably spent more time upon adverts in a single edition of Byte than I do upon adverts in over a year upon the web. How times change. But darn, I miss the hardcopy Byte magazine. Also miss my vast collection that got lost over several moves in life. Though still have a few. However, one magazine of that era I have equal fondness for was Unix World 84-95. But at least I have a few copies of them still.

    I think I got just as much pleasure reading back issues of 2600 as I did from Byte, including the adverts.
