Looking for 1985 "Personal Computing" mag
« on: December 28, 2011, 11:11:58 PM »
Looking for the mid-late 1985 "Personal Computing" magazine that featured a cyan background on the cover with an Amiga 1000, etc. in the foreground. It was their big Amiga issue.

Anyone? Thanks.

Sorry, wrong mag - but I always thought this cover was really sexy.  :)

Hah, I have that magazine over on the shelf. Nice cover, indeed.

Thought I had found it.
 
But I dug out a late 1985 Creative Computing that has 'A Hands-on Report on the Amiga'.
 
I will toss it towards the front of the pile to scan.

I've got that one over on the shelf, as well!

Pretty sure that's what he meant.

Nope, that's not it, actually.

I thought I scanned the Amiga article, but can't seem to find it on the hard drive... amazing how easy it is to lose things on a terrabyte. ;-)

YES!

THAT IS IT!! I need to get hold of this magazine in some form. THIS is the manner in which I first learned of the Amiga and my lusting began. I wore it out, the one I had, actually. Literally.

Is this scanned somewhere?! Thanks!

I will pay $100 for this magazine if someone will sell to me.
