Awwww... So many memories!... Thanks for sharing this! 😍🙏
I graduated in systems in the late 80s, you can imagine how I feel when I see these old magazines!
My first computer was an Atari 800XL (the first one I could afford to buy myself), but before that I had already used the legendary "Kaypro 10" and "NCR Decision Mate" in the computer lab of my technical school... Ah, those were the days!... There was a charming "aura" surrounding anything with a keyboard and screen!
