Hi,
I been following this discussion with interest over the last
few days, I'm not a computing professional but do use computers
a lot, mainly mini computers, and have found BYTE to be the
only mainstream magazine that is not _totally_ devoted to
PC's and PC concerns, although as mentioned does contain a lot
of this. I have been meaning to write to BYTE expressing my
appreciation of the coverage of non PC related issues, however
from the previous article I have read in this group the general
concensus seems to be that they are leaning more in this
direction (for comercial reason??). Those more eloquent and
knowledgeable than myself on this subject might like to make
a summary of the recent posting about this and send it to
BYTE's internet letters address, which from the UNIX issue
so hotly debated is given as
letters@bytepb.byte.com
