Magazines
There were countless home computer magazines in the 80s and it would be foolish for me to try to list them all out (although it is tempting). However, here are some notable editions.
Retro magazine publication is not over though - here are links to some current retro/home computer magazines which you can read at your leisure (without having to scour second hand book shops or ebay).
