New home wanted for stack of PCW magazines
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2018 12:30 pm
Hi,
Does anyone want to take a stack of popular Computing Weekly magazines off my hands? My wife has made it plain that I have altogether too much "old junk" (ouch, hurtful) and that some must go.
Well, the QL World collection isn't going anywhere, nor the Micro Adventurer one, nor the Sinclair User, Your Computer, New Computer Express, OS/2 World .... yikes! she has a point.
So anyway, this collection is of assorted mags from the mid 1980s to early 1990s. Plenty of QL items contained within, including for example a two page review of the Thor, a lengthy interview with Clive Sinclair in 1990, etc.
Price: Free.
I don't want to go through the hassle of posting them, as it's really a rather bulky collection and postage would be horrendously expensive. However, if anyone is in the Bath environs or passing through at some stage and wants them, please let me know so we can arrange a collection.
Alternatively, if you want them Dilwyn for the preservation efforts, the nearest I can get to you is Porthcawl where my in-laws live. Not exactly close, but maybe you know somebody locally who can hold them for you? It would not be for a couple of months though in that case I should think as I don't think we have any trips to Wales planned anytime soon.
It would be nice if it did go to someone who had the time to scan the QL bits and make them available publicly. (but not a pre-requisite of course)
Note the ZX Spectrum and monitor in the picture are not included!
(I was not sure which forum to post this on - mods feel free to move this if it's in the wrong place)
