I agree. I have been doing research about a computer I have and
everything I found about it have been from magazines and other
publications.
Magazines help document history. They are very important.

I enjoy and have many of the older magazines. Some I have in plastic
and some I can actually take out and read because they are not in good
condition.
When I get my house, I would like to display some of them like this.

The Micral N was developed for process control as well.
The only difference was that Comstar was purchased by Warmer Swasey and it
was integrated to their systems so they never marketed their systems

There was a 4004 based computer developed in 1972 that was released before
the Micral called the Comstar 4. It's not very well known but it was
written about in the ACM and the Computer History Museum has a copy of

In my own humble opinion it is one of the best scenes ever from a Star
