But seriously, that issue of Byte magazine reminded me that such mags no longer exist. Now it's just ads and tests.
- Tor3 4y agoYes, but by 1990 Byte had already degenerated into useless "application" reviews and mostly uncool ads. Something that happened to nearly all the magazines after some years (including e.g. Personal Computer World). And when that happened, long-time subscribers like myself just left.
