The magazine was started because of Byte's management changeover
and downplaying of hardware projects. Notice that Steve Ciarcia's
column has been moved to the back and cut to 6 pages. Steve's
contract with Byte expires in December and has not been renewed.
CC Ink was created to support "Practical Applications for the
Real World."
There's a BBS to support these projects as well as the ones in Byte.

Let me just add some more information to Alan's message about INK. I am a technical editor for the magazine, have a monthly column, and have written sseveral articles. Having just completed a switch to a new fulfillment house, subscription orders should be sent to: Circuit Cellar INK Subscriptions 12 Depot Square Peterborough, NH 03458 You can also sign up on-line on the Circuit Cellar BBS at (203) 871-1988. Let me emphasize that after the December 1988 issue of BYTE, the will be NO MORE Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar articles in BYTE magazine. All of Steve's efforts will be going into INK from now on. Finally I want to point out that Curt Franklin, the new editor-in-chief of INK, came from being the senior testing editor for BYTE's testing lab. So if you liked the kind of articles Steve wrote as of a few years ago, I think you'd enjoy Circuit Cellar INK.
