| | Byte (magazine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Whereas many magazines from the mid-80s to date have been dedicated to the Wintel platform or the Mac, mostly from a business user's perspective, Byte covered developments in the entire field of "small computers and software", and sometimes included in-depth features on other computing fields as well, such as supercomputers and high-reliability computing. | | | Early articles in Byte were do-it-yourself electronic or software projects to improve one's computer. | | | Byte started in 1975, shortly after the first personal computers appeared as kits in the back of electronics magazines. |

| | Tom's Unofficial BYTE FAQ |
| | BYTE was the oldest personal computer magazine, founded in 1975, which was the same year the first kit-built personal computers appeared for sale. | | | BYTE readers were MIS decision-makers, engineers, programmers, college students, and others who are deeply interested in computer technology. | | | BYTE's circulation was about half a million, which is quite large for any computer magazine and especially for a publication as technical as BYTE. |

| | BYTE Interview with Richard Stallman - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF) |
| | BYTE: Do you have any predictions about when you would be likely to distribute a workable environment in which, if we put it on our machines or workstations, we could actually get reasonable work done without using anything other than code that you distribute? | | | Stallman: Well, they send them to me. I asked all the people who wanted to be listed to promise that they would never ask any of their customers to keep secret whatever they were told or any changes they were given to the GNU software as part of that support. | | | The only limit in the GNU system is when your program runs out of memory because it tried to work on too much data and there is no place to keep it all. |

| | Josip Sabic - Byte magazine page |
| | Sixty-four K bytes seems to be so much memory, especially since we are used to program, data, and the BASIC interpreter fitting into 64 K bytes. | | | The reason for this is that the IBM Personal Computer always uses two bytes per stored character, regardless of the adapter card used. | | | Since the color/graphics adapter card has 16 K bytes of memory and the two kinds of text pages take only 2000 and 4000 bytes, respectively, you can store up to four 80-column pages of text or eight 40-column pages at once. |

| | The Old Joel on Software Forum - Why Byte (the paper mag) has disapeared |
| | My memory is similar to what AllanL5 has written: Byte transitioned from being a more theoretical "interesting technical information" magazine (for example covering interesting processor architectures, including great diagrams and tables), to being yet another PC Magazine. | | | But when the home computer market homogenized into the PC market, then Byte just started printing reviews of printers and systems and laptops and so on. | | | Instead, it became a 'review' magazine, doing ra-ra articles on the latest 'advance' in Windows or Intel processors. |

| | As the one replying notes, the "old Byte" means Byte magazine before it was taken over by McGraw-Hill, and while it was oriented to computer hobbyists. | | | Prior to that, a byte was defined as a non-addressable portion of an addressable word. | | | For example, ASCII was usually stored as 5 7-bit bytes per word; we store C-compiled binaries as 9-bit bytes per words on our systems. |
