Sad... I was a long-time subscriber of BYTE (the paper version, when each issue was close to an inch thick). BYTE was responsible for jump starting my career. RIP, Wayne.

I have to say that that magazine played a large role in my early interest in computers also.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

A collection of scanned JPGs and PDFs of all BYTE magazines can be found here[^]. It was the Sept 1981 issue that changed my life forever. Half a dozen years after devouring that issue I started my dream job @ DEC's AI Technology Center, where I worked for 7 years. It was a little bit of heaven on earth.

I was still a subscriber when they sent me a letter to say that they were closing shop and my sub would be completed with some other magazine.

Does anyone have a suggestion on the best place to advertise a new position opening for a .Net Developer? We have an add on Craigs list now but did not get a lot of response.
Your thoughts

Maybe try Stack Careers. I'm not sure how well it works, but from what I've seen, there are some good programmers there.
What kind of job exactly? I'm looking for one atm.

If I were still living in North Chelmsford, I may have have contacted you.

You might try a little more formatting in your ad, I personally felt a little disconcerted.
A good portion of your intended audience tend to be a little pedantic and will find the lack of periods and overall look as somewhat unprofessional.
Have a look at some of the other ads to see what I mean. If your potential applicants don't feel you've put in some amount of effort how are they to think your company is being run.
I mean this to be helpful, not to poke fun at your ad.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

If your ever in the Twin Cities, you'll have to stop by and take her for a spin.
To be honest I got lucky when I got it for only 1K. The previous owner was an idiot kid who had abused it and didn't know what a nice guitar she actually is. It's a joy to play.

A soccer mom just walked in to my PC shop saying she had deleted all the pictures from her phone and now wants them all back. I said, you deleted all your baby pictures, did you have a backup? Knowing full well no soccer mom backs up anything deliberately. She said she thought it was all on the cloud. I asked her just for illustration, "Where is the cloud". She shrugged.
That's just great you cloudies. Just great.
Yes we're going to try to un-delete them, but for cryin out loud, why give the innocent and the ignorant (one of the same) the false sense that there is some sort of white cloud looking over them?
Tornadoes are clouds too ya know.
Stupid Cloud.....

Let's be honest here for a moment.
Your criticism is spot on but the fact of the matter is that even if she had them on her home computer they'd be doomed to die on a failing hard drive or, perhaps, backed up on a lost disk tucked away in the basement somewhere.
Had she managed to get them onto the "cloud" they'd be lost behind a forgotten password or a closed service a couple of years down the road.
I guess what I'm saying is the moment this woman went digital she was doomed to lose the pictures.

Or we could stop treating users as sheep being led to the slaughter and (collectively, as an industry) work to make it so things like this are less likely to happen.
