[net.micro.pc] PC Tech. J. opinions summarized

peterr@utcsrgv.UUCP (Peter Rowley) (07/13/83)

I received three responses to my query about the PC Technical Journal,
ranging from "pretty interesting ... and professional" to "less than PC
or PC World".  Two articles in the first issue were mentioned: one on
the colour adapter card (called quite good tech. material) and one on
C compilers (just a list of sources!).  The only consensus was that one
should probably not subscribe right away, but wait to see how it develops.
It is available in retail stores, and not just by subscription as my article
suggested.

My implied comment about BYTE not having much interesting technical material
drew a response, asking what I think should be in BYTE.  I replied that I'd
like to see more on new chips and sophisticated software, among other things.
Perhaps BYTE would be better if people submitted areas they'd like to see
covered to net.micro.
