Unfortunately I didn’t keep all those 80 Micros I got from my uncle when he gave me his Model 4 around 1992/93, but if anyone is interested, I have years of Computer News 80, an early sort-of retrocomputing thick newsletter/small magazine that was started right after 80 Micro ceased publication, best I recall.

Edited to add: I have January 1988 - February 1991 of Computer News 80. I have not checked if all the issues are there, but it looks pretty complete.

I'm surprised that not many issues of PC Magazine are on the internet archive. PC Magazine was the computer magazine until the internet took over.

PC is archived at Google Books. <https://books.google.com/books?id=w_OhaFDePS4C>

At first glance it doesn't have all the issues. Google only allows "previews", too.

"Preview this magazine" is misleading in this case; entire issues are available including, the last time I checked some years ago, almost every issue from the 1980s.

I mean, it wasn't Byte or anything.
