  I'm FLAMING Mad.. As Usual, when I received my monthly issue of BYTE.

  I have subscribed to BYTE for the last 10 years... It is a tradition
  with me. But of late, (as if you haven't noticed) it has turned into
  a mouthpiece for the IBM Clan..

  "..In this case, the author based his report on experiences with a late
   beta version of Multifinder, lengthy talks with APPLE programmers, and
   APPLE documents.  IF interest warrants, BYTE will formally review this
   product at a latter date."

                        -- Novemeber issue of Byte

   Hey, If it had been the Lastest verion of OS/2 you betcha it would
   get the biggest review possible.  But just look what we got..
   
   Come on now, Byte is the small systems journal... Why has Apple
   products taken a BACK SEAT in the last 2 years of Byte. You think
   I'm kidding... Just look at the coverage the APPLE ][ got in byte
   for a few year, not to mention TRS-80 and other. 

   But now its IBM this, and IBM that, and PC this and PC that...

   Plus to Anger me more, the even have SPECIAL BYTE ISSUES devoted to
   that greatest of machines and company THE IBM PC.

   I guess we just don't rate a SPECIAL ISSUE... TOO INSIGNIFICANT...

   WE JUST DON'T RATE....
                         time to cancell a time honored tradition
                         and pull out my issue of MACTUTOR.
