I. Mike Schmidt Publisher, Basic Computing
I've never heard of Basic Computing. Why?
You've been missing something. Since 1978, we were called 80-U.S. Journal. We have now changed our name to more accurately describe what we write about, We are computerists who publish a journal, not publishers talking about computers.
What is Basic Computing?
We are a monthly magazine covering all models and aspects of the TRS-80 microcomputers. Each issue contains a mix of articles arid programs for every level of expertise in the computing field.
We have regular columns and departments to help both the beginning Color Computerist and the advanced Model III assembly language programmer. We make a special effort to make our publication understandable to beginners and advanced computerists alike.
What makes Basic Computing special?
We give complete program listings that are from working programs, not just bits and pieces of computer code. Material in our journal comes from actual computer users, not writers who have little hands-on experience with your model. We discuss and give working programs for every model of TRS-80. If you own a TRS-80 Model I with exotic hardware additions, or use a Model 100 to communicate to a Model 16B, we have information you need.
What does it cost?
Only $19.97 for a full year's subscription. That's less than $1.67 per month for one of the most informative magazines you can buy for you and your computer. Even greater savings are possible with longer subscriptions.
Ok! I want to subscribe. What do I do? I
