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)
