Macs and Mac info are beginning to show up in a lot of places where only
Intel Based Monsters used to appear...  Even Byte recently ran an editorial
explaining how it had ALWAYS presented Mac info, and to some extent, that's
why my subscription has hung in there, BUT... try to find an ad for Mac
items... Even some of the Mac biggies (e.g., Borland, Microsoft) who buy
Byte advertising seem not to acknowledge that they have Mac products when
they write their Byte ads!  So Mac STILL comes across as a poor relative -
and other systems as outcasts.

I still read Pournelle and Ciarcia, but I rarely have to steal away to a 
quiet spot to study a Byte article in depth as I once did.

Remember when "pc" meant "personal computer" and not "IBM-PC or knockoff" ??
