Would it be ghoulish to investigate the cause of death?  Perhaps you're reading
it.  Byte is an ok rag for the IBM PC user without too much on his mind
(except for the occasional excursion into Karmarker's Algorithm).  But the
techie types don't like it much anymore.  Maybe that's because we all have
UNIX boxes, amigas, Mac II's, and so forth at home, and each other on the
net to pass around sources and ask questions.

It's been years since I last used a Dr Dobbs source.  Why type it in when
I get megabytes of sources each week on net.sources?  Maybe the techies have
outgrown print media?  Better watch yer ass, McGraw Hill.  There's something
sneaking up behind you...
