I finally made an account to post this comment. But, I love BYTE magazine! It was such an amazing resource during it's time. I first dug into them for a project I've been working on (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m7vDhscGzU), and then I found myself looking at more. It truly captured something special. I wonder if there's anything that comes close these days.

If you spend the time to read through these older ones, you'll see they were doing something special. They'd often share programs and circuits in the magazine that others could recreate at home. I wonder how difficult it was to learn about computers, we have so many resources these days.
