I was surprised to -not- see The_Transactor, which was full of details on how to get your C64 to boldly go where no BASIC type-ins had gone before.

I grew up in Texas. I don't think I saw a copy of the Transactor when I was a kid. Or maybe I did and it just didn't register.

And don't take this the wrong way... this is more of a personal remembrance of times past. I'm not throwing shade by not including specific publications. I would love to read a blurb about your memories about the Transactor.

I'm sort of realizing BYTE and Omni were "totems" of my friends group. We knew someone was in our "in group" when we saw them reading them. There's probably a decent master's thesis here for Anthropology grad students.
