Stylus Publishing was founded in January, 1991 by Nicholas Baran and Jonathan Erickson, two veteran technology editors. Baran was former west coast bureau chief for BYTE magazine and editor of Baran’s Tech Letter (a newsletter covering the NeXT computer platform). Erickson was the long-time editor of Dr. Dobb’s Journal, the leading software development magazine of the time.
Originally published quarterly, the newsletter was acquired by Volksware, Inc. in December 1993, evolving initially into a bi-monthly and later full monthly publication. The newsletter was published and edited by former contributing editor John Jerney.
