They do look better, but I must say BYTE and friends packed one hell of a punch.

I've almost zero interest in magazines today, but I would still subscribe to BYTE, COMPUTE and a couple others, given their editorial focus was similar to what made them great then.




The first year of BYTE is amazing but over time in all of those computer magazines there is a shift from hobbyists and doers to just consumers.


That is why I wrote, "what made them great", and that was true of BYTE for more than a year. Adding consumer material did not displace enough great material for a while.
