Talk:Compute!

History
The history of this magazine as presented is wrong. COMPUTE! was originally founded as The PET Gazette by Len Lindsay.

You can read Lock's own onus to Lindsay in the first issue of COMPUTE! here: http://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue1/PUBLISHERS_REMARKS.php

There is also Lindsay's own abbreviated history of the PET Gazette in the same issue here: http://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue1/3190_1_THE_PET_GAZETTE_THE_EVOLUTION_OF_A_MAGAZINE.php

As this index is cited in this entry, I'm surprised no one has actually read them and realized how erroneous this entry is.

The full story of Lock's revisionist version of the founding of COMPUTE! magazine from Lindsay was told in full in issue #15 of INFO magazine (July/August 1987, p. 8). I know. I wrote that article.

When I get time, I will dig out my sources and revise this entry to match reality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Airship (talk • contribs) 01:25, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Where are they now?
What is this? I'm no expect on Wikipedia formatting and language rules, but this is definitely what not to put in an encyclopedic article. Shouldn't articles strive to be time-independent? ChazZeromus (talk) 01:28, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Title/Logo Font?
Does anybody know what the font is that was used for the title on the front cover? The same one was used on OMNI magazine circa 1991. Both magazines had the same designer, Jo Boykin. Mattsephton (talk) 12:23, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
