Let me introduce you to the rabbit hole of the month. What a superb publication! Number one: advertising in mags was still a big thing.
Number two: it brought back that rush of enthousiasm and curiosity, like when i opened my first Toshiba 8088 laptop, at home, on my kitchentable. When Windows was still fun. OS/2!
Number three: The Chaos Manor, with dr. Jerry Pournelle. I don't need to say anything else.https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine?sort=date&and%5B%5D=language%3A%22English%22

Inspired by a now deleted post, i have recreated some classic headlines from BYTE magazine's first few issues. The originals use Lydian, my recreations use Andily https://drj11.itch.io/andily-font (my own copy of Lydian).
First the classic "What this country needs is a good 8-Bit High Level Language".
1/3

Somebody built a searchable and browsable BYTE magazine archive with all single pages on one single web page. I think, this is a very nice way of visualising a magazine archive. Enjoy: https://byte.tsundoku.io

This is cool: a zoomable visual archive of the entire run of Byte Magazine: https://byte.tsundoku.io/
Via https://www.techspot.com/news/109222-zoomable-visual-archive-byte-magazine-delightful-trip-down.html
Now please, someone, do this for Micro Cornucopia and Dr. Dobb's Journal of Computer Calisthenics & Orthodontia.

A visual and textual browser/search for BYTE magazine. Clever way to present this vast amount of printed material!

It is not an easy task to make the #80286 perform multitasking or mode switching. [..] Jerry Pournelle describes the process this way: "You have to clunk it over the head and knock it out When it's waking up -- but before it realize it's been reset -- you shout: 'Stop! Stop! Don't reset! It's all a terrible dream.'" (f h) #Byte #ByteMagazine #Anno1989

It is interesting to speculate about the future of microcomputer-based
automatic #astronomy. Since an experienced engineer can keep many automatic #telescope|s operating. it seems likely that a number of such systems owned by various institutions will be placed at a single top site where clouds are a rarity. A list of objects to be observed will be sent via phone or disk by an astronomer: after all the requested #observations are made automatically; the results will be sent back to the requesting astronomer in a similar fashion.

I did subscribe to #ByteMagazine back then, but I don't remember that issue. Wasn't #HyperCard already a big thing by then? I remember people calling HyperCard the new killer app for the Mac, like #VisiCalc had been for the Apple II.
Fun anecdote for #Swedish speakers: I worked at #Ericsson earlier in the 80's, and we had to submit subscription requests for American magazines via the US office. When I asked for Byte, they replied that they couldn't find a mag called Change.

It remains overpriced and difficult to expand, magnificent in conception, but flawed in execution. It blazed a trail that others are eager to follow. Loyalty to #Apple can be costly; you'll have to decide for yourself if it's worth it. (j p) #Byte #ByteMagazine #Macintosh #Anno1985

If you peer into a microscope at a certain #VLSI microprocessor designed and fabricated recently by faculty and graduate students at the #UniversityOfCalifornia at #Berkeley, you will see something quite startling. There, inscribed in tiny detail next to the initials of the microprocessor designers, is a #Porsche racing car. (j m) #RISC #RiscII #Sun #Sparc #Byte #ByteMagazine #Anno1984

Thirty years ago today, #Commodore International declared bankruptcy. Not the #Commodore64, not the #Amiga, and certainly not the #CD32 could save them.

Remembering when #ByteMagazine carried water for #Microsoft's 1990s FUD: https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1992-09
These days the #FreeBSD-derived #Darwin powering #Apple's operating systems has about the same installed base as #Windows. Adding the de facto Unix #Linux and derivatives like #Android easily eclipses Microsoft's efforts several times over.

Me trying to arrange meetups with all the people I know in London is really showing off the absolute shitshow of modern messaging. In the 1990s, Byte magazine used to have articles about the universal inbox and boy I hope someone implements that one day. (At the time, they were referring to unifying all three of your incoming fax, voicemail and email into one place)

Same here. BASIC programs were the only info I ever had on biorhythms. Never realised that there was a cult-like craze surrounding it and until decades later
See page 20 of Byte Magazine
(April 1976), "Biorhythms for Computers" by Joy and Richard Foxhttps://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1976-04/page/n21/mode/1up

@shapiro Late '70s #ByteMagazine fan; I played music at the same Hartford coffee house as Chris Morgan before he was editor. After tech writing at MultiMate '84-'87, wrote one article for Byte '88 between trips to Peterborough for interviews. Took a F-T offer from a boating magazine instead, but my CV on #Bix landed me freelance sideline w/ @harrymccracken at #idg.
I setup a Fido-ready boating BBS in Newport, R.I., to join a subnet called Ship2Shore, but no $, so in '93 went for PhD instead. -
I ran two of the earliest #fidonet sites, one at #ByteMagazine and another personal one in my basement. #johnmarkoff and I discovered #tomjennings as he was first hatching the idea of #fido in the early 80s. I was West Coast Bureau Chief for Byte, and John (who had just migrated over from InfoWorld) theoretically worked for me.
