I would also be very interested in why Byte has managed to ignore
such a provacative combination of price and utility. I suspect that
Jack Tramiel opted not to play up to them and they responded by
blacklisting it. It does not speak very well for Byte's interest in
their readers. I for one lost a lot of respect for Byte because of
this glaring omission.
