I hope that libraries there are more conscientious about keeping

I was able to get Byte magazine back to the mid-1980s at my local
county library--closed stack, but still there.

Last week, I went to find an early-1980's issue and was told that
they no longer have any Byte magizines!



Our libraries are fairly well connected and they offer to get in items
from other libraries on inter-library loans.


We usually have that capability, too, but in the case of older
magazines where the only available copy is on microfiche, a
copy must be made, which seems to take a couple of weeks...
