Thanks Darren, Norman has just sent me the texts of his articles, but the back issues are still of interest generally. Back in the late '70s/early '80s I used to buy computing mags like Practical Computing and Computing Today because they were very 'DIY' based with articles on programming and building bits of hardware, but when they changed to nothing but reviews of commercial software and hardware I lost interest and never renewed my subscriptions. QL Today still keeps that DIY spirit alive and I hope it lasts.
