Several people have condemned BYTE magazine lately for a number of things:
	1. Dropping Steve Ciarcia
	2. Leaning heavily toward IBM/Mac/MS-DOS
	3. Promoting the --> OPINIONS <-- of Jerry Pournelle
And I think BYTE deserves all the bad press they've gotten.  I have subscribed
to BYTE since 1980 but I cancelled my subscription last August and they 
recently refunded my subscription fee.  Now I only subscribe to Amiga-specific
magazines like Amiga-World, Amazing Computing and Transactor for the Amiga.
Used to get Dr. Dobbs but they are too IBM/MS-DOS/C/Unix for my taste.  I have
five years of back issues to digest.

To return:  Dropping Steve C. is *D*U*M*B*.  Steve's presence made BYTE unique
among the IBM rags.  No longer.  Now they are just another DOS rag.  I 
understand they need to keep centered in the computer market to keep readers,
but they have gone so far they are NOT a ->microcomputer <- magazine any
longer.  And their articles seem to consistently slam Amiga and Atari macchine
