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.

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".

Edsger #Dijkstra, a classic software engineer who visited the U.S.S.R in the late 1970s, said in a public speech defivered in the Grand Hall of the Academy of Sciences in Leningrad that he regarded the fact that the U.S.S.R. produced #IBM computers as the biggest U.S. victory in the #ColdWar.

Both Willow and #USVideo advertise their products as if reasonably knowledgeable people who aren't computer experts can use them. We make no doubt at all that this is true, but it's not simple. It’s going to take time. As Roberta says, before you can #genlock, you have to understand what genlocking is all about; and you only think you know that.

First came the# Willow manual: she reports that in 12 pages of text, there was not one single sentence that she understood, Part of it is the terminology, but some of it is the English: she’s not at all sure some of the sentences actually say what Willow thinks they say. The USVideo manual wasn’t a lot better. (j p) #Byte #ByteMagazine #Anno1990
