Interesting!  After _all_ the Byte-bashing that's been going on, and reported
uploads to BIX (who cares if its trade-marked?), _not one word_ from BYTE.

But we make _one_ mention of Info-World, and, voila!, a response.  Maybe not 
offical, maybe from only a off-duty staffer, BUT a response non-the-less.

It appears to me that we are indeed right about BYTE's opinion of its readership
And it further looks like maybe it's time to go out a buy a copy of Info-world
and see what kind of a rag _it_ is these days.

Subscribe BYTE > Info-world?

directed to the respondeant from Info=world:

When will the magazine be available on-line?  You _must_ be using WPs, probably
get most of your articles electronically (don't you?), probably send it to the
printers electronically?  Why not post it, too?   The discussion here should
have convinced you that there is interest.
