It should now be possible to discard my boxes of old Byte - but it is not easy.

Yeah, I've got a complete collection from October 1978 to December 1991 (by which time they had became just another x86 PC rag). I bought a fair few individual copies myself from 78 or 79 until the late 80s, but the bulk of my collection I got for free from an elderly engineer in I think the late 2000s.

Here's a tweet I made packing them up when I was moving overseas in April 2015:

I also have a 1984 Encyclopædia Britannica, all 30 volumes.

Will anyone want them when I can't house them?
