I too like clever illustrations like the IBM one. Glad you liked those old covers, Simonne. I too like clever illustrations like the IBM one.

You're welcome Lenzjo (Kolin). Where abouts do you live now? I too was learning a lot from the early computer magazines. Nowadays I learn stuff mainly online. haha, Lauren. Looks like men 30 years ago had the same passion for computer toys as they do now :-) That IBM cover was my favourite one too - very clever: Inside IBM PC.

I think that's my husband... and that's me in the background glaring at Santa. Oh how perfect. Hahaha! I really like the little IBM guys painting the pixels on the inside of the monitor (although he really should be painting the M not the I, otherwise it's typing backwards, lol). That cover definitely would not have been as effective if it were done in Photoshop today. ROFL, wow that first cover is great!!

I was living in Vancouver at the time and had a subscription to Byte. One of my favourite sections was the hardware project. I was just learning electronics on my own and those projects were my "apprentiship" to which I owe a lot. Thankyou, seeing these covers again brought back a flood of memories.

I thought they are always competing with time. wouldn’t that be too time consuming and slow for fashion magazine publishers? I thought they are always competing with time.
