I have been a BYTE reader for some time now (a  couple of years).
When I started reading BYTE, they claimed in their "What's New" section
that the information published should be
	"...of interest to the personal computer experimenters and
	homebrewers who read BYTE,..."

When You look into one of the latest issues of BYTE, You'll find, among
other things, that Steve "Master of all personal computer experimenters
and homebrewers" Ciarcia is no longer with BYTE!
If You then look at the articles and products featured in BYTE, You'll
find that they show IBM PCs, -look alikes, -feel-alikes, -sound-alikes
etc. whose only distinguishing mark is ... that they are completely
identical (otherwise they wouldn't be compatible, would they).

As I am neither an IBM-"USER" nor can afford laser-printers in the $1000
range, I will dis-continue my subscription as of April this year (that's
when my current subscription ends).

I can only tell those people that are still interested in experimenting
and homebrewing to get actively involved in Steve Ciarcia's new magazine
"Circuit Cellar INK"
