Bajtek was started in 1985 by Władysław Majewski, an editor of "Przegląd - Komputer" - insertion added to "Przegląd Techniczny". First issue would be published by "Krajowe Wydawnictwo Czasopism", but because it was started 'ad hoc', it didn't have paper allowance(dear reader - please remember, 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 by three other issues during the 1985 and all 200000 copies were sold on spot.
The "Sztandar Młodych" editor liked the idea of a computer magazine adresed at the young computer entusiasts(rather than at computer scientists - as all other polish computer magazines, at that time did), so much, that he decided to take it over.

In the Fall of 1985, The editor of "Sztandar Młodych" Aleksander Kwaśniewski(who will later became President of Poland) become "minister do spraw młodzieży"(Youth minister? minister in matter of youth? Blah, communistic 'nomenclature' is really hard to translate and my english ain't good too), and his first decision, was to make Bajtek, a part of the "Sztandar Młodych" publishing house. Since 1986, until 1989 Bajtek was published by "Sztandar Młodych".
