Long before I could afford a computer of my own, I bought computer magazines… probably a few hundred after it was all said and done.

Before the internet, before BBSes and before floppy disks, magazines were the way programs were distributed in the late 70s and early 80s. You would type in the BASIC source code printed in magazines to give yourself something new to run.

Just browsing the archive.org's collection brought back so many memories… like this one when the Steve Jobs launched NeXT [1].
