Talk:COMPUTE!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.
