As the year comes to a close we all become nostalgic for the old days. For some of us, the old days included a publication known as BYTE Magazine. BYTE was published from 1975-1998. While original issues can be costly and hard to find, thanks to ThumpNugget there is a growing PDF library of downloadable issues. If you want to get an idea of what computing was like in the early days, these docs are worth a look.
I read Byte when I was in high school. But I went straight for Circia’s column. It was the beginnings of what is now Circuit Cellar magazine.
I loved Byte and I also went fro Circia’s column. His stories of his projects were hilarious.
