At the Hackers/Think Conference 14 a number of former Byte denizens 
(Pournelle, Webster, Tenney) gathered to contemplate what's what and hold a 
requiem.  I recall that they decided instead to think positive at the Byte BOF 
and vowed to create a new online mag, which they named Think/Wyrd (Wyrd after 
Knuth's designation for a two-byte quantity in MIX2000, also presented at 
Hackers 14 -- he calls 4 bytes a tetrabyte).  In know Bruce has done something 
to move this forward, but I'm not sure where that project is at.  

I'll find out what I can and report.

Can anyone recommend good current publications (electronic or print) that
cover neat stuff in the spirit of the old BYTE?
