A while ago I was looking for information on a obscure and short lived British computer.

I found an article[1] in the archives of BYTE magazine[2] - and was captivated immediately by the tech adverts of bygone eras.

This led to a long side project to be able to see all 100k pages of BYTE in a single searchable place.

Love the idea... loathe the interactive design implementation.

I suggest everyone pull down the archive on … archive.org [1].

For me anyway (and it sounds like a few of you as well), whiling away looking through a random BYTE issue from the past can be enjoyable.

(I have in fact now close to a TB of magazines as PDFs downloaded/offline just for this sort of reminiscing. Magazine packs make it easy [2].)
