Any one else remember EXE?

Or "Program Now"? (that died in the 80s).

Remember them but read very rarely!

I used to get "Your Computer". That's how I learned z80a programming.

btw - Chaos Manor.

I had one of those type-in game listings published in a C64 magazine.

Prawn Balls? Would it be wrong to say "Yummy"?

Boo, the one and only mag I subscribe to.

I'll have to read it all on here now.

A bit? Got to admire the chutzpah of building a reputation as a technological guru entirely on his inability to get his PC to work.

He had a house full of PCs he couldn't get to work and gave them stupid names like Big MooCow and so on. He knew nothing about computers - he was a sci-fi author (Larry Niven).

Syntax was the first computer mag I remember, or could it have been Computer Age or Byte first??

I also remember building 'computers' based on designs in Practical Electronics and Popular Electronics .

All were when I was a lot younger, late 70's early 80's I guess.....

I've not bought or read a single PC magazine in 10 years.
The articles are mostly available online in some form, the advertising is irrelevant as it's so easy to find suppliers and the cover CD's are pointless as there are so many sites where you can download applications and freeware.

Sadly not. Was bought out by a competitor and closed in 1998.

I subscribed to it for many years.

Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar was my favourite bit. I actually built a few of the projects (though nearly always modified or bastardised in some way).

I found Jerry Pournell a bit irritating.

Personal Computer World is no more

RIP - I had a lot of respect for that publication but can't say I'm going to miss it as I've not had time to read it for more than 15 years!

Is "Byte" still going? I used to love reading "Chaos Manor".

Happy days!

Byte was tons better and far more hardcore than PCW with that beardy tit Kewney.
