- teh_klev 3y agoI didn't mind that much. For example when IBM introduced their Micro Channel Architecture, the "reviews" of machines such as the PS/2 Model 80 were pretty much matter of fact, explaining the technical details and with some decent photos. And this was still useful in pre-WWW times and even beyond.
- speed_spread 3y agoThat's alright. Byte's articles aimed more at connecting the state of the art, both academic and commercial, to actual problems being solved. You didn't read Byte for first-hand review of products but for insights on the computing world as a whole.
