A Twenty-Year BYTE

A few days after it happened, all of a sudden today I was thinking of the cover of BYTE’s twentieth anniversary issue having emerged from the queue on my Tumblr. Back in university I recall picking up a discarded copy of that particular month’s magazine. However, I have to admit that particular old computer magazine seems to have been pitched over my head for at least its first twenty years of publication (from soldering iron-handling hobbyists to an impression of corporate IT managers) for all that my skimming has turned up occasional intriguing tidbits its intensity could have accounted for. While more time has now elapsed since that anniversary issue than separated it from the magazine’s beginning, I’m aware I’ll run out of magazine covers to post well before I get to today. Whether I’ll then just comfortably lapse into reposting anime artwork (should those accounts keep posting themselves) or go back to a few additional computer magazines is an open question.
