It is incredible what percentage of an issue of Byte was full page ads. They should have been paying the readers.
It's also striking to see street addresses in the ads, some of which are local to me. One company used to do advanced graphics display controllers for computer kiosks in what is now a custom cabinets store in a dingy run down strip center.
