- I'd tend to agree. My subscriptions at this point in time
- are to PC Sources and PC Computing. The former because it
- specializes in hardware acquisition and installation matters
- and the latter because it emphasizes end-user software. PC
- Magazine is a little top-heavy in the product reviews (which
- is why I use my friend's extensive collection when trying to
- find specific info on brands of hardware). Since I don't do
- much low-level programming Byte doesn't hold too much interest
- for me. I do look in there once in a while for items of inte-
- rest, eg. details on the latest processor from Intel.
