Creative Computing was the first computer mag I ever bought, I remember it disappearing and by then I was onto Byte and Nibble. Of these shown for a while I subscribed to STart and even had a little article published in it, March 1990 ("GFA Basic Wipes & Dissolves). Good times.

Wow! We got our first computer when I was 11 -- an Apple IIc my parents brought home over Thanksgiving weekend, 1986. The store they bought it from was also giving away free subscriptions to Compute at InCider magazines. I spent MANY hours pouring over these magazines and later when I learned BASIC, typing in the programs they would give away for free in the back of the magazine.

Anyone else remember InCider and A+ for the Apple II?

There was an old magazine called the C User's Journal a while back. Then it became the C/C++ User's Journal. Finally it either got purchased by Dr. Dobbs or it became Dr. Dobbs. I'd love to get a look at some of those articles in the CUJ. Dobbs doesn't seem to have articles online anymore from this era. I think my only hope is to make it to a well known university library..

I had forgotten about them, but yes. Both were cool, but I had a subscription to "Call A.P.P.L.E." magazine - a regional Apple ][ mag. Lots of BASIC programs. (I'm amazed to find out just now that it's been revived as a Mac magazine!) I recently was throwing things away and ran across a stack of them.
