First, there is NO definite history for Byterapers.That's practical impossibility. Time has flown and many days have passed since the group saw first daylight. Members have changed almost in as many numbers. While we're happy to still own same coremembers as in beginning, or 1988 or 1991, we've had so huge amounts of members and so many things have happened that even if we had tried to document them we would probably had failed.
So, instead, we offer you interesting pieces of our past. While this page is, I guess, as complete history of (B) as there can be, it's far from complete and never can be.
