I liked reading Jerry as a teenager, I thought of him like a great bumbling uncle who enjoyed fiddling with stuff until it broke; when any sane person would have left it alone. But mostly he was the only grown-up I knew that admitted to staying up all night playing games.
I really miss the fat paper copy, I subscribe to the electronic version and there is some good stuff there, but it doesn't have the diagrams it used to. I think BYTE failed because it lost sight of its roots - technically minded hobbyists. It tried to become a business journal, as reflected by its changing subtitle over the years.
