October 1995 / Letters

The Inelegant Kludge	I'm a bit confused by your article on Windows 95, "The Elegant Kludge" (August).
Telling It Like It Is	Bravo! Your August cover story delivered the first honest and complete coverage of what Windows 95 is and isn't.
Why Did Win 95 Win?	In your News & Views story "Network and Windows 95 Take Top BYTE Awards" (July), you state that the editors voted Windows 95 as the Best Operating System and the Best of Show because "This was the first Comdex at which Windows 95 was in full display on the show floor.
OS/2 or Not OS/2	I have been a BYTE subscriber for years, but I was upset with the August issue.
Blasts in the Past	In the August issue, "The Last Blasts Quiz" seems to imply that there will not be any more Blasts from the Past page.
GNU Is Gnot Gnarly	In his C ode Talk column entitled "ANSI C Anywhere" (June), Rick Grehan wrote of how difficult it is to port the GNU C/C++ compiler and how easy it is to create a new C compiler using a different set of tools.
Unfriendly Reader Interface	I don't mean to be a Luddite, but I hope the new background/foreground color schemes you used in your cover story "Inside the Mind of Microsoft" (August) are not a harbinger of future BYTE graphics.
Totally RAD, Dude	I found "The End of Programming" (August) very helpful.
Slight Misunderstanding	There is a small error in Tom Thompson's feature story "Apple's New Operating System" (June).
Make the Senders Pay	I agree with Nick Baran's Commentary ("Stop, Look, and Listen!," August).
Lighten Up on Microsoft	I was very impressed by Rafe Needleman's editorial on Microsoft ("Why I Love/Hate Microsoft," August).
Amiga Redux	I was surprised to see an article essentially devoted to LightWave3D ("Desktop Hollywood F/X," July).
GSM Is Not MSG Backward	It was nice to read your "Special Report on Mobile Computing" (June).
