Yabut, he said he was published in BYTE. That was a highly technical magazine written by very
competent engineers. They published stuff like schematics of computer circuits complete with
timing diagrams and sample code to perform complex functions. If true, they must have needed
some fluff filler piece because he doesn't have the engineering chops to write anything that they
would normally publish.

I was an early subscriber to BYTE and still have some very early
editions laying around here somewhere. They used to run monthly
articles by an engineer named Steve Ciarcia, "Ciarcia's Circuit
Cellar". I don't think I ever built any of his circuits but always
enjoyed reading about them since I had an engineering/electronics
background.

Science fiction author and PhD, Jerry Pournelle, was another regular
contributor that I enjoyed reading every month. His column was called
"Chaos Manor" and had a wide following.

Our friend Harree was never anywhere close to being on the same
technical level as their regular contributors, and frankly I never
remember seeing his name even though I was a regular reader.
