Classic Computer Magazine Archive

Posted by chrisd on from the days-gone-by dept.

savetz writes "I think /. readers will find this of interest: the Classic Computer Magazine Archive serves up the full text from old compter mags: three years of Creative Computing plus every issue of Antic, STart, and Hi-Res. There's also a bit of text from Compute! and Compute!'s Gazette. Everything is there with permission from the publishers."

    Yeah, but the only reason the magazines weren't 90% ads was because they were 70% giant hex tables giving object code listings for you to type in. I think the greatest thing the Internet has done for software is that I didn't have to enter the latest MS service pack one nybble at a time.

    Seems to have been slashdotted into submission. They should have gone with a ][e.

    Interesting idea.. but I know of a way that you can see decades of archived magazines and newspapers! Did you know that these places usually let you see movies for free without the MPAA breathing down their necks? I know I should've posted AC because the secret is out. But go here to see what I mean.

    IBM had PL/1, with syntax worse than JOSS,
    And everywhere the language went, it was a total loss...
  6. The Old Byte Magazines by Reality+Master+101 · · Score: 3, Funny

    I notice that they don't really include the old Byte magazines. Well, I suppose there's a good reason for that: hard drives aren't big enough yet for the "telephone book" editions. :)

    Sometimes it's best to just let stupid people be stupid.

    What about highly insightful periodicals such as Wired?

    Cool - now I can prove I really am a published author without having to bringing in my mint-condition May 1986 copy of Antic from its protective encasing at home :-). http://www.atarimagazines.com/v5n1/derejoystick.ht ml

    I remember my sister and I working to get a game going on the C64. She read the hex numbers, I typed (over 10 pp). Now that I think about it, that was pretty cool of her. :)

    PC Tech Journal and goddam Will Fastie. The biggest idiot to ever have anything to do with a computer magazine, with the possible exception of Jerry (Plugola) Pournelle.
