Vintage 80 microcomputing magazine dated December 1981 + bonus pdf version too

80 Microcomputing was the most famous of the TRS-80 magazines. It was the first of the platform-specific computer magazines to become very popular. Harry McCracken, former editor-in-chief of PC World, described PC World as "essentially an 80 Micro clone that happened to be about Windows, not TRS-80’s." 80 Microcomputing published for 101 issues from January 1980 to June 1988, plus one special anniversary issue in 1983. The magazine was very successful and spawned: a spinoff magazine for the Color Computer (Hot Coco) a spinoff magazine for MS-DOS (PC Resource) a ten-volume series of books (The Encyclopedia of the TRS-80) a book of extra material (The Rest of 80) a book of reviews (80 Micro’s Review Guide) a monthly collection of programs supplied on tape and disk (LOAD-80) Origins 80 Microcomputing was created by Wayne Green, the founder of many magazines including 73 and Kilobaud Microcomputing (of which 80 Microcomputing was a spinoff). Wayne Green envisioned 80 Microcomputing as being about the readers and included this appeal in the first issue under the heading "You are the Author": All of my magazines have one thing in common—they are written entirely by the readers, you. If you buy something which should be written about, write about it. If you get some software which is great, write about it. If it is awful, say so. Try to think of 80 Microcomputing as more of an enormous and informal club newsletter than a pontificating magazine."
