For the last few months, BYTE has taken a much more technical turn that I greatly appreciate. The Core Technologies section is particularly good. I am also pleasantly surprised by your June issue. Jerry Pournelle's column abounds with IRQ (interrupt request) problems, addresses that should be DEFF and not DC00, mixed up DMA channels, incompatible clones, and buggy software. Each month, just reading Jerry's masterful solutions to all this mess is enough to quench any Windows envy I could have. And people think Unix is difficult? Come on! X-Windows is simple compared to Microsoft Windows!

is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
