Love retro magazines. Byte had some great covers. I recently flipped through an old Compute! magazine looking at the type-in programs for different computer platforms at the time (IBM PCjr, Commodore, Apple, Atari).
I’ve been unable to convince Dall-e to render anything “in the style of artist Robert Tinney”. I love his work - and have several prints of his byte covers.
It was the September 1983 issue of COMPUTE! that opened the gates to my life as a programmer. They had programs that did interesting things but that also came with clear explanations. A while later they had a type-in word processor named SpeedScript that I used for years in the early part of my technical writing career.
