I have a few issues of these.. A quick look I found: Issue 39 (may/Jun 1979) Issue 41 (sep/ovt 1979) - Hey it has an Atari on the cover Issue 43 (nov/dec 1979) Issue 43 (jan/feb 1980) - Yip they marked two issue in a row at #43.. THey did get the volume number right though Issue #48 (nov/dec 1980) - They switched from a newspaper type paper to a glossy front Issue #49 (jan/feb 1981) Issue #50 (mar/apr 1981) Issue #51 (may/jun 1981) - some blurb about Atari Pilot on the cover I don't think I've ever looked through these, they were with other lots I had purchased way back and just now is the first time I have removed them from the plastic.. The later ones advertise support for Atari, TRS-80, Apple, and PET, and TI.. though there is a lot of generic computing stuff as well. The older magazines use lower quality paper (though very little coloring, maybe it was the plastic) and they have more pages.

New record set on the 28th of September.. over 110 Gigs of traffic in a 24 hour period. I am amazed some sort of limiter did not kick in for an under 10 dollar a month account.

Yeah I was just looking through it.. It almost looks like I post-processed the pages twice.

BYTE Vol 07-10 1982-10 Computers in Business - 532 Pages 348,897,450 bytes This particular magazine has had some tough love in its journey to be scanned. Torn corner, price tags, many torn and folded paged, mud splatter, etc. I almost did not scan it but after some work only the cover really bears bad scars... So my apologies for the cover.. Hopefully some day another cover can replace it. This issue of BYTE is all about computer in business. I was very disappointed after scanning the issue to realize there was not one of the Atari series of articles that appeared in 1982.. This appears to be just after the series ended. The news has some interesting tidbits.. a new magazine "Atari Antics" will soon be out, a few paragraphs about Telelink II, and a couple you will need to find yourself. For non-Atari stuff I think my favorite article was about the current and future state of industrial robotics.. And hey! Two type in games, pretty rare for BYTE.

So.. Added three new mags to the main list at the top of the thread (magazines in hand waiting to scan): May 1982, Oct 1982, and May 1985. I'm very happy with the first two as they have Articles on the Atari 8-bit. I've got three 1982 magazines scanned with Atari articles that should be coming in the next few weeks.

BYTE Vol 10-01 1985-01 Through The Hourglass - 500 Pages 334,977,040 bytes January 1985 will always be known as the last month Playboy stapled their centerfolds... But January 1985 should also be known for having a much more interesting BYTE than I would have imagined for 1985. For non-computer articles you MUST read "The future of television" all sorts of good predictions though they called it 5.33x3 instead of 16:9.. There is also a very good interview with Steve Wozniak about the history of Apple and a talk of a spreadsheet he helped develop but in the end was not allowed to distribute... And if you like talking about power supplies well welcome to this goldmine.

Wow! 140 books and that's not even counting the manuals! If you had asked me how many 8-bit books there were a few years ago I would have said some number under 100. I've looked at AtariManias magazines - had not peeked at the books. Very nice to see it all decently organized in one place for everyone to get at. I do have one suggestion for them - add a usergroup newsletter tab. The BBS's hurt the group newsletters a bit before the internet destroyed them completely but the few I remember reading really gave a good feel for how the community was evolving over time at a local level. I don;t have much there - a mostly complete Oregon ACE newsletter, one from the Pokey Press from Palm beach, a handful from M-Mace in Missouri, some from the 8-bit Hard Disk Users Group.. The majority of these are gone forever no doubt but it would be nice to have a central repository for what is left.. plus they are usually smaller, stapled, etc.. Easy to scan and much of the time non-destructively so people might give them up for digitizing

Thanks everyone. No worries, life just got busy for a while (married, fired from my job, training replacments for my job, then rehired to my job, etc, etc). I had not meant to be gone that long - life was moving fast - my brother said he had posted about it on here but I do not see any posts from him - we are going to have to have a talk! I am glad others have been working on this project.. To be honest I'm not exactly sure where things currently stand as far as what magazines others have scanned, what other sites are offering the torrents or made them available for download and how everything is currently organized... It looks like archive.org has most of them up which is excellent. On my end the all the magazines that I scanned are still available for individual download. I did straighten up the first post of this thread (http://atariage.com/forums/topic/167235-byte-magazine/) and made sure the list is current (it even lines up now!) I also marked the latest upload with a "Latest" tag. Though if you look at it right now you will notice it is for one today - It is currently uploading and should be up later on. This only lists my scans of course - hopefully as I can a better feel for what else has transpired I can help with organizing/syncing/interfacing with other efforts.

Hey! Very nice to see the place again! Sadly I fell behind in my one per week goal. I was afraid to go back and read what was said so I thought I'd offer up a goodie to soften the blow. I had actually done this last scan some time back and never got around to posting it. Just now testing some scans on a new mag and having to re-do the photoshop macros and remember way too many settings to get it exactly the same.

I don't understand your plan.. If you have the bandwidth now but will not scan/share the mags because of Rapidshare/paypal - and there is no way they will be out of the picture as long as someone can upload your stuff to them... What is it you are waiting to happen for you to act? .

I can understand that.. but realistically, no matter what you do, that's where they are going to end up. Indeed. Someone's going to put all of ThumpNugget's Byte's into a torrent eventually, if it's not already been done. Torrents are just the most efficient way to get the most data to the most people as possible. If some third party makes some ad revenue off of it, so what? The point is preservation. Yip.. Scan them puppies and don't sweat the distribution! Too much work anyway - AtariMania has the bulk of everything I've scanned available for anyone for free without even having an account (except the American AtariUser - no love for that mag!) I really am amazed at the activity in the Atari community and the quality of some of the websites and the ongoing effort put into them.

Top four in picture are sold (Boxing, Summer games, Galaxian, Defender) are gone If someone want the remaining eight games I'll let them go for $15.00 plus shipping. The weight is about four pounds from 83646.

Sold! Thanks everyone.....

Thank you much for the comments! ... and the second lot is also sold!

..and gone! Thanks!
