Soup and all,

Does anyone have news on Apple's presentation at the E3 conference in Atlanta last night. I cannot find anything on the news boards.

I really enjoyed reading Byte. It wasn't a Windows or Mac magazine, but a computer and computer technology magazine. I don't understand why it was canceled. I guess it was low ad revenue.

I hope this doesn't happen to MacWorld. Like I said before, it is important, no, critical, that we buy Mac software. Don't copy that floppy! I've been buying a few titles in recent months, about one a month.

Each time you buy something it is a vote. "I'm buying Eudora for the Mac because I want both products to continue. Yes, the version 1.001 is working great, but I need to support my platform"

Perhaps the Department of Justice should be informed.

Sometimes you just gotta stand back and watch.

......Yeah ! Mailing list. Yeah Yeah, that's it!....... The mailing list.
We, uh, Yeah we need that subsciber list. Thats the ticket.
Mailing list.

Amazing....looks like one of them "surgical" nukes they're are always talking about except hold the talk.

I don't think it gets any cleaner. What this cost them anyway?
Cheap in the long. Cheap in the short run.

Skunked,absolutely.

And by all means advise the DOJ
Just amazed, pjkelly

Are you serious? Sounds like a radical decision to me.

If you are, I'd say it's not a big loss. Byte started a long decline and dumbing down process when Steve Ciarcia left. I went from being a die hard fan to not reading it even for free in the lunch room...

Why do that? Just start a new publication, hire as many of the staff of Byte as want to come along, and call it TPFKABM for The Publication Formerly Known As Byte Magazine. Think Imagine Publishing [MacAddict] might want to go after the tech heads? They could get away with ByteMe as a title.
