Personal Computer World magazine to close

[simonrockman]

I remember reading this on the bus on the way home from school. Guy Kewney reviewed the Sirius 1 and I thought he had the coolest job in the world getting to play with all the latest computers.

It was a cool job, I edited the magazine in the early 1990s but now it is going to close.

Shame.

In my experience they will offer you the choice of a refund or to move your subscription to one of their other magazines.

The first issues were in 1978. I think it was a mistake going from the box cover - the white cover with the photo in a box. They did that just after I started and I was distraught at what they were doing.

I agree. The early issues still look very modern. The chimp issue sticks in my mind. The 90s issues look rpetty awful.

the Chimp came about because the editor reviewed the ZX81 and then went on holiday. The staff in the office went for a picture of a chimp and the line "Editor reviews the ZX81".
