Curiouser and curiouser!

I count four references to OS-9 (non-advertisement) in the July 1986 BYTE.
This compares to five non-advertisement references to it that I've seen in
*all* previous issues of BYTE.  (To enumerate:

1. Brian Capouch's BASIC09 review.
2. an article in the same issue as (1), mentioning the use of OS-9 and
   BASIC09 in a system controlling a telescope.
3. A very early "Byte: Japan" column, perhaps before the author knew
   what one should and shouldn't write about :-), which mentioned that
   OS-9 runs on the then-new Fujitsu FM-77.
4. A letter to Jerry Pournelle from a fellow with "The Mill," pointing
   out the speed with which it ran Pournelle's matrix-twiddling
   benchmarks.
5. A query in the Atari ST section of the "Best of" BIX a couple or
   so months ago.)

Clearly, in view of past behavior, the editorial staff at BYTE have all
come down with kuru or something! :-)  Perhaps we should write and express
our condolences...or, more seriously, our actual opinions.
