Half the joy of a Byte magazine issue was looking at all the cool products in the ads. Full page ads for Tektronix Smalltalk workstations, with beautiful shots of exotic windowing systesms? Pages and pages of ads for S100 bus cards with interesting specs, in a city in another country? Yes please. My elementary school library unloaded all their old issues on me in about 1986, and it was even enjoyable going back through the 1980, 1981 issues 5, 6 years later and seeing the stuff that was current at the time. Yes, I was a nerd. Hah. Wish I'd kept those, but they were in bad shape.
