Description
Acorn User Magazine Issues 1-267 (June 1982 - Xmas 2003)
Acorn User was a magazine dedicated to the Acorn range of personal computers - the BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, and latterly the Archimedes and other RISC-based machines. It was published by a number of different sources, changing hands every few years. It lasted an impressive 21 years, reflecting the passion that many Acorn users had for their machines, before the then publisher Tau Press sold the title on to Finnybank. Although the intention was to continue, it appears that no further issues of Acorn User were printed. These PDFs are complied collections of page scans obtained from various Internet sources. They've been OCR'd to allow text searching and copying - this should prove very useful for the retro archivist who'd like to have their own local searchable archive. They should look great on most PDF readers. The OCR software has done its best, but has struggled with some of the more unusual fonts and layouts used, and where the background image obscures the text. My primary goal in OCRing is to aid searching - everything else is a bonus! The page numbering is also a bit odd in some early issues. More OCR'd scans will be periodically available - please check http://retropdfs.wordpress.com (or Google RetroPDFs) for more information. Thanks to all the visitors and donators to RetroPDFs for their support. 90's style "greets" to anyone formally or currently involved in the Amiga scene, especially Pazza, Mic Flair, Violator, Denzil, Tango, Fat Will, Torch, mUb and Maximan, and anyone else who read or wrote for LSD Grapevine. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be ;) Ken D fabwhack@gmail.com http://retropdfs.wordpress.com (Google 'RetroPDFs') Related Torrents
