Annals of the History of Computing: "bitsavers" is referenced

What a dumb comment.  How can you compare a glossy fanboy gamer magazine to
an academic journal?

Ye gads... If that's the leading publication on Computer History, it looks
like the market could stand another. Something more along the lines of the
excellent UK magazine "Retro Gamer" perhaps, with articles written by (and
for) normal (if a bit fannish) humans and lots of pictures of old hardware
and stuff. You could call it "Classic Bits" or something actually catchy.
I'll bet the inhabitants of this list could cook up a better product almost
overnight.
