Used to run ads in 1988-90 in ComputorEdge for my first startup (Coconut Computing; we ran the COCONET online service in San Diego then). Didn't they change their name to ByteBuyer? We used to call them ByteBuyor to pay homage to the original name.

Nice! Yes that final O was a bit idiosyncratic, I forget the reasoning for it. I listed my BBS in their directory.

My memory (a little misty) was that they started as ByteBuyer and then renamed to ComputorEdge. At least in 92 they were called ComputorEdge.

I did have a stash of them somewhere but haven’t seen them for a long time.

Nice to reminisce!
