While BYTE isn't the only magazine. Most (all?) went Wintendo in the
90s. Amateurs were the minority by them. I don't like that this happened,
but otherwise the magazines would go bust not to satisfy the majority of
computer users, which happened to be users of the IBM compatible computers.

Won't blame them, but it's sad. At least I stopped buying computer mags
in the early/mid 90s because it became so boring.
