In recent years, as histories of the early days of personal computing have
been presented in various magazines, I have watched in vain for any mention
of Wayne Green. My memory is not precise but I recall the advent of
Kilobaud ... for some time my preferred info source (until replaced in my
heart by Creative Computing). I vaugely recall that Wanye had been
associated in some fashion with the creation of Byte, but separated from
Byte for some reason, and (after being denied the use of "Kilobyte") started
Kilobaud. This is probably all muddled ... can someone contribute more info?
