Another Wrapup Elsewhere

Since signing up for Tumblr almost four years ago now, my moment of weakness in trying to come up with posts here seems long passed and a certain number of people have abandoned that other service (and just a few of them managed to sign up here), but I have kept queuing up the covers of old computer magazines, getting all the way from the end of 1974 to the middle of 1988. Today, the last cover of 80 Micro emerged from the queue. The end of that magazine (just six months after it tried getting away from the microprocessor it had been specific in covering when starting) might not have quite the same uncertain melancholy the end of Creative Computing has for me, but it does mean “getting through each month a little faster” as I skim through PDFs (or, in the case of the massive PC Magazine and BYTE issues, read the table of contents and bluff.)
