Datamation

A magazine that many hackers assume all {suit}s read. Used to question an unbelieved quote, as in "Did you read that in Datamation?". It used to publish something hackishly funny every once in a while, like the original paper on {COME FROM} in 1973, and Ed Post's Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal ten years later, but for a long time after that it was much more exclusively {suit}-oriented and boring. Following a change of editorship in 1994, Datamation briefly tried for more the technical content and irreverent humor that marked its early days, but this did not last.
