- Interesting definition of "covers". And for that matter "medium". Just
- stripping out the bingo cards (as I usually do) typically cuts the mag
- in half... but let's get back to my first point...
-
- Byte - lots of ads, covers IBM-PC, a little Mac, occasional bones thrown
- to others. Pournelle's column is good for a laugh.
-
- Here's a better magazine:
-
- Dr Dobb's Journal of Computer Calisthenics and Orthodontia - no longer
- published, but the current Dr Dobb's Journal is reasonably good
- if a little too IBM-PC-ish.
