OK, maybe you were in error, maybe not entirely.  The "technical articles last 
longer than images" bit was kind of lame, considering the total number of
pages in Byte -- there's a lot of chatty, content-free Pournelle and Pournelle-
type stuff that could be reduced or eliminated (if only it wasn't the most 
popular part of the magazine.)

We'll know the truth when the supplement comes out.  If the article comparing
IBM, Mac and Amiga graphics trashes the Amiga, as I fully expect it to (for
example, by negatively comparing it to VGA plus and not mentioning that the VGA 
card and monitor (excluding the computer) cost substantially more than an A500 
including the monitor), then they'll have have convincingly demonstrated their 
orientation.
