Some more Microbee & other Vintage articles from Your Computer magazines - ChickenMan - 24-08-2021
From some recently scanned Your Computer magazines (see archive.org and originally borrowed from John Penny, thanks), all the Microbee and any other Australian Vintage computer articles were extracted. These are mostly from 1988 and almost anything on 8 bit computers were now at a minimum. Never the less, the regular monthly Microbee File pages continued.
So in the Public Repository in the Magazines\Your_Computer folders we placed

RE: Some more Microbee & other Vintage articles from Your Computer magazines - ChickenMan - 20-09-2021
Thanks to Steve Cody for forwarding a few Your Computer magazines that have not been archived before. Staples removed and scanned at 600dpi on my A3 scanner.
Like those above, they are now up on archive.org. There were four from 1991, one from 1994 and another from 1996. All were virtually devoid of anything concerning 8 bit computers. Gone are the regular Your Microbee and other 8 bit columns and replaced with Your IBM and Your MAC. Even the Your Computer logo had changed by 1994 and again in 1996.
Unfortunately a few pages had been ripped out of the yc_1991_01 issue in its earlier life so are missing from the PDF.
Never the less there were a couple of interesting articles worth preserving here. So in the following Repositories we placed
Public\Magazines\Your_Computer\1991
