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.

Thank you for doing this, this is fun. Also, I love all the nostalgic comments.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Robert Tinney the artist who illustrated many of the covers. His work is pretty amazing, and seemed to capture all sorts of interesting ideas.

I met him once at a computer show. I was in too much in awe that I didn't really talk with him, but was able to give him some praise for his artwork. Also, I bought one of the t-shirts with his artwork.
