I had some problems with BYTE subscriptions, but after writing them,
the problems actually got cleared up.  It took me awhile though.
Quite suprising for a published like MacGraw-Hill to not be able to
get its billing straight.  How complex can it be?  Paid... Unpaid...

FYI: I have a number for BYTE (don't know if it still works)
