ZX Computing Magazine Issues 01-38 (Summer 1992 - May 1987) ** Note: This is a repack of a collection previously available. It is ** identical except that the PDF's are now approximately half the size! ZX Computing was published by Argus Specialist Publications and covered all Sinclair micros, from the ZX80 through to the QL and Spectrum 128. It was published bi-monthly until April 1986, when it underwent a significant redesign and was published monthly until May 1987. The early issues concentrated on type-ins and technical articles; after the revamp most games-based content was carried. Of particular interest are the articles by Spectrum "Machine Code" legend Toni Baker. These PDFs are the complied collections of page scans available on www.worldofspectrum.org . They've been OCR'd to allow text searching and copying - this should prove very useful for the Sinclair archivist who'd like to have their own local searchable archive. They look great on most PDF readers, including the iPad. The OCR software has done it's best, but has struggled with some of the more unusual fonts and layouts used (especially in later issues), and by the relatively low DPI of the source images. The early issues have OCR'd pretty well, mainly thanks to the fixed layout and fonts used. Later issues cause the OCR more problems, but should be fine for searching purposes. The file size is a bit larger than the combined size of the original JPG images; I've done my best to make the PDF's as compact as possible without losing image quality. Be grateful for cheap storage :) More OCR'd scans will be periodically available - please check retropdfs.wordpress.com for more information. Thanks to Martijn van der Heide for the wonderful World Of Spectrum site (www.worldofspectrum.org), and ADJB and everyone else on the WoS forums for help and advice. 90's style "greets" to anyone formally or currently involved in the Amiga scene, especially Pazza, Mic Flair, Violator, Denzil, Tango, Fat Will, mUb and Maximan, and anyone else who read or wrote for LSD Grapevine. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be ;) Ken D fabwhack@gmail.com http://retropdfs.wordpress.com
