A better source of information can be found at www.jerrypournelle.com, and
find out what really happened. Byte may be coming back in name, but last
time I checked there weren't going to be any of the original writers and
editors on board. Between them, McGraw Hill and CMP have ruined the best
magazine - you won't find anything s interesting or eclectic on the shelves
any more.
Fools.
