Default Looking for 1985 "Personal Computing" mag

Looking for the mid-late 1985 "Personal Computing" magazine that featured a cyan background on the cover with an Amiga 1000, etc. in the foreground. It was their big Amiga issue.

Anyone? Thanks.

Thought I had found it.

But I dug out a late 1985 Creative Computing that has 'A Hands-on Report on the Amiga'.

I will toss it towards the front of the pile to scan.


cover - http://www.bombjack.org/requests/cre...9-1985-sep.jpg

Enjoy

Hahahahaha! I've got a sneaking suspicion that this thread is going to turn into covers of ALL computing mags besides the one Blakespot is looking for.

That sooooo would be A.org that way.

BRING ON THE A1000 FRONT COVERS!

You mean Personal Computer World (PCW) magazine from England which had an 8 page review of the A1000 by none other than Guy Kewney?

I scanned that about 3 years ago but no idea where it is right now, will have a trudge through 4TB of data and see if I can find it again. I did also up it onto a photobucket account but I stopped using it about 2 years ago so again no idea what the username is to locate it sorry.

I thought I scanned the Amiga article, but can't seem to find it on the hard drive... amazing how easy it is to lose things on a terrabyte. ;-)

YES!

THAT IS IT!! I need to get hold of this magazine in some form. THIS is the manner in which I first learned of the Amiga and my lusting began. I wore it out, the one I had, actually. Literally.

Is this scanned somewhere?! Thanks!
