The other day we heard from a BYTE rep how this magazine is going
to change. It sounded good and so I was eager to get the mentioned
September issue. But again, I was only 50 % lucky.
You see, it is this 15th anniversary issue, and they have two big
parts in it:
1. A chronical with pictures and short stories what happened in
   which year. There Commodore was well covered, a real plus.
2. They have that "summit" where many experts discuss about computers
   now and in future. And there again they nearly forgot this side
   of the business: From all the Commodore experts I only found
   Jay Miner and Chuck Peddle. The latter was cited to have helped   
   develop some microprocessors like 6800 and 6502, but it was
   not mentioned that he developed also the original PET (which
   was the FIRST real Personal Computer with market impact on this
   side of the Atlantic). No other of those Great Gurus, but
   a big bunch of people I never heard of before, sigh.
