I have to agree.  BYTE didn't start out as an IBM-only magazine, it *became*
one.  I can't tell it from any of the other PC-oriented magazines on the
news stands any more:

In this issue of BYTE:

27 VGA graphics cards reviewed!
Multitasking OS's:  We help you choose!
How To Get Your Machine To Realize It Has More Than 640K of RAM!
How To Use The Memory You Just Found As a 2 Megabyte HD Cache!
Newtek's Video Toaster!
