This is my personal opinion, and not that of Pixar.

Could it be that most computer graphics professionals are not all that
interested in Byte? There is lots of good work being done with the
systems sold by Byte's advertisers, but the people who are doing that
work may not read Byte. The artistic non-technical people aren't
interested in Byte, while the extremely technical types are not
interested in many of the subjects Byte covers. Both groups have other
vehicles to show their work.

One would hope that the people who actually purchase the equipment
Byte's advertisers sell DO read Byte. This group may have a more mundane
use for their equipment (like business graphics). A computer graphic art
layout may not interest this audience.
