(Edited)


Cover of the September/October 1991 issue of .info

Info covered various Commodore computers throughout its life, mostly the Commodore 64 and Amiga. By 1991 it was covering exclusively the Amiga. Though not as popular as some of the larger publications, it was fairly widely distributed and had the novelty of being produced on Commodore equipment. The September/October 1991 issue includes:

Focus

  • Profile - An interview with Fred Wagner, an "Artist-in-Residence" at a school in Rochester who uses his Amiga 1000 for storytelling.

  • DTP - Comparing the desktop publishing experience on the Amiga, Macintosh and PC.

  • Networking - Part 2 in a series on networking on the Amiga. This part includes a look at some of the products available, including TCP/IP software for $199, an ethernet board for $349, and much more.

The Amiga Pro

  • Hardware - A detailed look at the CDTV.


    • CDTV

  • Productivity - A review of ASDG's Art Department Professional from a desktop publishing point of view.

  • .info technical support - How multitasking works on the Amiga, the slowness of the 68000 multiply and divide instructions, and writing scripts in AmigaDOS.


Table of Contents from the September/October 1991 issue of .info

Departments

Reading up on these magazines has me itching to hit eBay for copies (while my wallet screams no!). So many great publications from back in the day.

I went through a phase many years ago when I bough a bunch of magazines from eBay. That was before you could find much online. There are still a few hard to find things. I would love to find a couple of the old phone book size Computer Shoppers for example.
