Frankly, I have enjoyed the columns despite there relative lack
of "scientific" judgment.  If one wants to learn a particular
subject, the column is not the place to go.  On the other hand it
does seem to represent well the trials and tribulations of a non
computer type, non scientific background person who is attempting
to cope with new innovations in the field of computing.  In this
respect he probably is typical of a great number of his readers
. Thus, I believe he a good job.  He is not going to be
remembered as one of the great writers of this century, but on
the other hand their really have not been a whole lot in that
category anyway.  I wonder if any body would read a column in
BYTE by Faulkner?  I do think BYTE would benefit from some more
technical articles aimed at competent scientists, that is however
an editorial decision.
