I hesitate to endorse what is technically piracy, but I would observe that there is a torrent of the entire run of the magazine. (However I find the odds of anybody ever releasing back issues of the magazine for profit to be negligible and the public's interest in archiving history wins in my judgment.)
How strange to think back to all the articles I remember reading, the games I would never play, the hardware I would never own... and of course now it's all so archaic you couldn't hardly pay me to use it. And if I wanted to, I'd emulate it, and the emulator would be lucky to consume 1% of the machine sitting on my lap's resources.
Just some of the greatest magazines ever written.
Even with the web and the wealth of info I miss the excitement of getting an issue of Compute! and reading the programs and the articles by Jim Butterfield.
Chocolate milk, powdered donuts, the Gazette magazine, a C64, a dad, and his 10 year old son... Darn near brought a tear to my eye.
Now with my own 12 year old son, He is writing iPhone apps and plotting his timeline to becoming CEO of Apple.
