Yes, BYTE *did* have an Amiga on its cover...I was indeed hopelessly confused. Sorry everyone. > In article <7518@gryphon.CTS.COM> jdow@gryphon.CTS.COM (J.

Sometimes Well, I got to talking with a friend (another computer programmer) about BYTE only reserving Real News for its front cover, and he made a valid point: BYTE may say that it only allows Real News to be put on its front cover, but the slew of PC-clones (each a bit faster than the previous) that appear on BYTES covers these days do not seem to be more Real News than an Amiga 2000. I agree with him that the number of PC-clones on BYTE's cover is sort of ridiculous, and the only thing that seems to separate them is how fast they go.
