Yes, published by the people that did Compute!

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.

at 33 now, this is by far the fondest memory I have of my dad. I looked forward to it every month. I would sit there, fall asleep there, I was brought dinner at the C64. We had a cassette player so I could save my work. I still remember when I started planning out my own programs. My dad bought me a box of dot-matrix printer paper and I went to town planning out my "apps"

Now with my own 12 year old son, He is writing iPhone apps and plotting his timeline to becoming CEO of Apple.
