I remember when I was about 11 or 12 discovering Byte at my local public library. I checked out every back issue, going back to maybe 89/90. What a wonderfully exciting time in computing. At the time '93/'94 PC magazine would make vague references to other platforms (unix, vax, alpha), Byte talked about them all the time. I really loved it because it was a serious magazine (unlike pc magazine which just had reviews), but it wasn't academic or inaccessible.
