I also have an extensive collection of Personal Computer World spanning three decades. The oldest has the TRS-80 on the cover; I think it was the fourth issue, dated September 1978
My oldest issue of Byte appears to be the May 1985 one.

I found old copies of Oracle's magazine the other day; I don't even use Oracle anymore.
I'm due for a good clean out. Last one was in January when I threw away copies of the now defunct Trader Monthly Magazine. I think I had copies going back to late 2006.
There is something curiously therapeutic about throwing things out. It has a sort of Zen feeling to it.

Is this the end of the GAL invasion force?
Will ZG manage to hide his junk and fool the authorities?
All these questions and more will be answered in next weeks episode of...
