In the August issue, "The Last Blasts Quiz" seems to imply that there will not be any more Blasts from the Past page. That would be very disappointing. I think the Blasts column is one of the most valuable in BYTE, and I hope it can continue. It gives us a perspective on what everyone used to think was the latest thing.
