Writing of magazines, back then, the UK market had a magazine called
 "Computer Shopper", NOT the US one, the UK one was developed by a man 
called "* Dennis", whose previous point of interest was as have being
 prosecuted for being associated with a porn charge. As far as I remember,
the judge more or less let him off, as he thought that Mr. D. was of
"Low intelligence "

He next produced the above magazine, which was first printed on very
low quality paper, but had great articles about every sort of computer,
including the LYNX. As the years passed, the quality of the paper went
 up, but the content collapsed to the point where it was hard to find 
actual articles among the dross. By that time, Mr. Dennis was gone with
 lotsofcash.


Now we have Facebook.. "O tempo, o mores". I must check if there are any
computer magazines now.
