I took a quick peek through a few of the 1981 issues.. There were several issues with articles from Chris Crawford going over display lists and other Atari specifics. I had no idea he had written those articles for BYTE.

Hi Thumpnugget.

 

The above quote is really old, like from the beginning of the thread. The picture is the editor's note from the DEC 82 (the last one you posted) Atari character set article. It sounds like they're both referencing the same stuff! And what cool stuff it is! I'm so grateful for all your efforts and realize you get to what you can when you can, but I wanted to make a very meek and timid request (which still sounds kind of bold, considering the circumstances) for these issues. This sounds like pure Atari gold!

 

Much obliged to you, sir.

 

 

Hey there.. Thank you for the comment.. I have five already chopped up then I am going to work on the 81/82 issues with the Atari Articles :)

 

So these five:

 

May 1979 - Maps for Computers (will post it Thursday)

Aug 1981 - Smalltalk (will post it Sunday)

Oct 1984 - Special IBM Issue

Jul 1977 - Computerize your Railroad

Aug 1985 - Declarative Languages and the Amiga

 

Then start the mags with the Atari articles :)

I have a heap of BYTE magazines from 1994-1998 that I want to get rid of. I would prefer that they go to someone who is going to scan them, but to be honest, I would be happy if they did not go to paper recycling. And I would rather they went to someone who would appreciated them rather than someone who just wants to collect. Here is the deal - let me know if you want them. You will be responsible for paying for postage from Australia. There are about three boxes, and I am guessing that makes it about 60 pounds but I could be under-estimating here.

 

These issues are already on the BYTE CD-ROM as text which is why I am OK with getting rid of them. Of course I would prefer high res scans but you cannot have everything, can you :-)

Sorry for the no-updates.. For some reason my ISP no longer lets me connect to Atari Age - I can get to every other web site so I am still tying to determine what is going on.. I can only connect from work which of course does me no good when all my stuff is on the home machine :)

 

Assuming I get this resolved soon there are three BYTEs ready to go. I will be in South America starting next week (vacation woo woo!) so there will not be much after that until mid june.

Thanks so much for the work you have done. I look forward to those three BYTEs!

 

Have fun on your vacation!

Awesome, good luck on your vacation ThumpNugget. Perhaps your wife or SO blocked atariage for you! Many here really really appreciate these old Bytes from the micro explosion...!

 

Thanks and Best Wishes!

 

Ha! Thanks - She has far more effective ways to keep me off the internet :P Besides she has been promised 9 solid days of salsa club dancing so she has nothing to complain about.

 

Anyway I sat on the phone with my ISP today and they claim it is nothing they are doing.. GOing on a week of not workign from my home.. I'll do a traceroute when I get home and hopefully at least know where the problem is happening.

Perhaps you have a redirection virus or a problem in the hosts file..?

Thanks.. Turns out AtariAge (or its host) is blocking my home IP address.. probably part of a block of IP addresses being blocked. I've sent a message to Al. Maybe they know I have the Amiga BYTE issue waiting to go and are trying to keep it away :)

Hello Fellow Byte readers,

 

I am working on a small research in which I use some of the material of the Byte magazines (Many thanks to thumpnugget). I attached an Altair advertisement that appeared in the November 1975 issue of Byte. I would like your help to interpret this seemingly strange image. Does anybody of you know if the figure pictured was/is somebody famous? And why would the image be pictured in specifically this unusual of places, the pool hall? Any additional information welcome as well!

 

Hope to hear from some of you!

 

Best,

Niels

Hi all,

 

Here is complete TOC of BYTE Magazine from the 70th to the 90th: http://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub//tex/bib/index-table.html#B

 

I still have a bunch of BYTE Journals from the 80th an early 90th. I was trying to sell them. May be it is a better idea to scan them...

 

Thanks for your work, so far ;-)

Missing them already

 

Yeah. I was hoping that new issues would be appearing "any day now", but it's been weeks. :(

 

As he mentioned in post # 485, he won't be posting any more issues until he gets back from S. America.

 

Errr, Hurry back ThumpNugget - I'm feeling withdrawal symptoms - k...k...kinda...a..a sh...sh..shakey...key...key hh...hh...here...

Almost like I got too much Mountain Dew :D

 

Hope you have a great vacation, TN
