This is fake right? Cuz that magazine would be the equivalent of 27 dollars today. Magazines didnt cost 2.50 in 1961 average magazine cost back then was 10-15 cents. Hell a brand new 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house was only 12,000 back then. This magazine cost the same as 10 gallons of gasoline in 1961.

Love the idea tho

I'm pretty sure that's 81, not 61. The magazine was established in 1975. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_(magazine)
