Farewell, Dr. Dobb's

"Running Light Without Overbyte" still remember that title, when reading Dr.Dobb's while waiting for my turn fiddling with a new KIM-1 computer at my friend's house in 1976. A while back... I was a subscriber for many years.

Also I remember Al Stevens writing his columns from his RV, the incident with the exploding tire. Did you know he came up with C# as a language name before Microsoft did?

In those days before the internet DDJ was a welcome sight in the mailbox, every issue had something worth reading.

See you around Dr.Dobb's!

Ah, the full title, as I recall, was "Dr. Dobb's Journal of Computer Calisthenics and Orthodontia: Running Light Without Overbyte".

When I was an undergrad, I found very early issues of Dr. Dobb's in the medical library of my university, the name of the magazine having fooled the librarians. I remember spending many happy afternoons there reading about 6502 single-board computers and porting Tiny C to various machines.
