== History ==
[[image:Bajtek_01_85.jpg|right|thumb|First issue of Bajtek]]
Bajtek was started in 1985 by Władysław Majewski, an editor of "Przegląd - Komputer" - , which was an insertion added to "Przegląd Techniczny". First The first issue would be published by "Krajowe Wydawnictwo Czasopism", but because it was started 'ad hoc', it didn't have paper allowance (dear reader - Dear Reader, please remember, that at this time Poland was a communist country), so it had to borrow paper. The "Sztandar Młodych" (Youth Banner), the newspaper of ZMP (Polish Youth Association - an organ of the communist party for the young communists) decided to lend paper for the Bajtek, and the first issue could be printed. It was continued followed by three other issues during the year 1985 and all 200000 200,000 copies were sold on the spot.
The editor of "Sztandar Młodych" editor liked the idea of a computer magazine adresed at addressing the young computer entusiasts (enthusiasts rather than at computer scientists - as all other polish Polish computer magazines, at that time did), - so much, that he decided to take it over.

In the Fall fall of 1985, The the editor of "Sztandar Młodych" Aleksander Kwaśniewski (, who will later became President of Poland) become , became "minister do spraw młodzieży" (Minister of Youth minister? minister in matter of youth? Blah, communistic 'nomenclature' is really hard to translate and my english ain't good tooAffairs), and his first decision, was to make Bajtek, a part of the "Sztandar Młodych" publishing house. Since From 1986, until to 1989 Bajtek was published by "Sztandar Młodych".
In the year 1989, thanks to the 'Round Table', there were many changes in Poland. One of the most important, was the closing of the Office of Censorship and stoping stopping of the press regulation. With that (and many other changes), Bajtek was divided separated from the "Sztandar Młodych" and continued on it its own, published by Bajtek Publishing House, an a co-operative stared started by Bajtek 's redactors. It ran down until 1996, when bancrupcy bankruptcy of Agrobank had bringed brought Bajtek Publishing House to it's its knees, eventualy bancrupting eventually bankrupting it too.
== Bajtek and CPC ==
At the beginning, Bajtek had mainly articles about computers from "private import" (more communistic 'nomenclature'), particularly about ZX Spectrum, which became quite popular in Poland in the first half of the 80's, mainly because of its price. In the 1986, there was an advent of 'clans' - sections of Bajtek, each dedicated to only one machine/producer (all Ataris, all Commodores and so on).
Bajtek continued to publish articles about CPC and PCW until 1994.
