I kept my entire collection of Byte Magazine issues for years (no, not years, decades) in the basement, moldering away with other indispensible posessions such as plastic slide rules, old eyeglass cases, and unopened junk mail. A real Andy Warhol scene. So what is the one and only issue of Byte Magazine that I ever went back to look for? You guessed it, the 1981-08 issue. And where was it? You guessed it, nowhere to be found. I think I like the advertisements in this issue as much as anything. You have to love the guy with the cutting-edge portable (sic) Osborne computer, armed to the teeth with SUPERCALC(r) and WORDSTAR(r), and striding purposefully into the future alongside an ordinary business person type guy armed only with an old-fashioned leather briefcase.

Me too. I especially like the two adverts for memory cards - fabulous, huge, fast memory expansion! 64Kb! Only $995! Now the kids complain about being limited to a pathetic little 4Gb and how that makes machine X useless. tim -- tim Rowledge; [hidden email]; http://www.rowledge.org/tim Asking whether machines can think is like asking whether submarines can swim. |

Hi Tim,
Thanks for sharing. I'm sure I had this issue but it is long gone. >On 20-11-2013, at 4:06 PM, David T.

It needed more memory but an additional 1 meg cost $500.000. That's right, 50 cents a byte. Times have changed. Lou P.S. Tim, I love reading your posts and I agree with 99% of what you have to say. We differ on little/big endian and I don't think I would be as big a fan of RISC OS as you. My early days of assembler language programming (that I loved at the time) have left me with little love for doing things the hard way. Anyway, keep up the great work with the Raspberry and your posts. ----------------------------------------------------------- Louis LaBrunda Keystone Software Corp.

Louis,
158 was a 370 model. http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/mainframe/mainframe_PP3158.html Cheers, Bob On 11/21/13 10:56 AM, Louis LaBrunda

Thanks Bob,
You are of course correct. I think there were some 360's around the shop (and they were all similar) but I should have remembered better. I have a head cold so maybe that's it.
