I'd tend to agree. My subscriptions at this point in time 
are to PC Sources and PC Computing. The former because it 
specializes in hardware acquisition and installation matters
and the latter because it emphasizes end-user software. PC
Magazine is a little top-heavy in the product reviews (which 
is why I use my friend's extensive collection when trying to 
find specific info on brands of hardware). Since I don't do
much low-level programming Byte doesn't hold too much interest 
for me. I do look in there once in a while for items of inte-
rest, eg. details on the latest processor from Intel.
