Back Along The Rainbow

With my parents downsizing, one of the things I took custody of was our partial run (if one that spanned almost ten years) of the Color Computer magazine The Rainbow. Once I’d brought the file boxes of it to my own place after Christmas, I did get to thinking about how each month I “go back forty years,” pick up some of the old magazines already ready to my hand, and leaf through 80 Micro and Macworld. There have been months I’ve needed most of their days to get to the end of those two issues, so I did wonder whether revisiting another antique magazine was the wisest use of my time. It didn’t take me that long to skim the January 1986 80 Micro, though, so I went ahead and extracted the Rainbow issue for the same month.
