I agree, I let my subscription to Dr. Dobb's Journal expire because they quit being a "good hobbyist magazine" and went "Professional" (whatever that means). I do see some unfortunate tendences in Byte to the same... I sure would like to see some more good practical "theory" and "algorithm" articles like Byte had in its early days (before 1980) (ex. the "My Dear Aunt Sally" article on algebraic expression processing in the February 1976 Issue, Byte #6). >-- >-- `-_-' Peter (have you hugged your wolf today?) da Silva. >-- U Mail to ...!uunet!sugar!peter, flames to /dev/null. >-- "A foolish consistancy is the hobgoblin of little minds".
