On: Byte Magazine: Declarative Languages (1985)

[jll29]

1984: MOS 6510 - first encounter with machine code

1986: Motorola mc68000 - 32 bit is beautiful

1991: Intel 80486DX2 - ugh, how ugly, those segment registers!

1993: HP PA9000 - the arrival of the RISC panther brings enlightenment at the speed of light

But seriously, that issue of Byte magazine reminded me that such mags no longer exist. Now it's just ads and tests.

Yes, but by 1990 Byte had already degenerated into useless "application" reviews and mostly uncool ads. Something that happened to nearly all the magazines after some years (including e.g. Personal Computer World). And when that happened, long-time subscribers like myself just left.
