As a CS student in Guatemala in the 80s, Byte was like news from the cutting edge of technology. We used to get like 5-10 copies for the only store that sold them, and they went fast. I had to literally keep up with their shipping schedule in order to get my copy.

I've missed the deep technical articles, and fighting with my PC Magazine-reading friends about the superiority of our magazine.

Just recently, I was wrestling with the idea of discarding my old Byte magazines, but I really couldn't throw them away, some of the articles are still very good to read. I still have the Byte CD-ROM, wonder if it would still work?

Oh yeah, and I have a Tinney signed print of the robot coming out of the eggshell. I also have the magazine.
