I was given a bunch of old Compute!'s Gazettes by an uncle who’d moved onto PCs from his Commodore 64. I did not get the benefit of the tape or disk option unfortunately, but as a result, many of those magazines are bedaubed with felt-tip where I marked my progress whiling away hours typing in those programs.

I learned so much about the Commodore 64 from those magazines.

By the time I got my C64C in the '90s, magazines had long since stopped publishing code listings due to cost. If they’d continued to do so, magazines would have been twice the price, and less than half as many people would have been able to afford them. As it was, the magazines were, by that point, at least partially subsidised by game companies who wanted to get a demo out on the tape or disk.

I’m still annoyed my subscription to one of those magazines ran out the month before the last ever issue. I could probably get one on eBay for a reasonable price, but it’s the principle, dammit.

Edit: Better wording.

Explain please.

This is a call for those people who are missing a feature that they absolutely must have in LibreOffice, to 1) check whether it has been added since they last looked (when was that, again?) and 2) to put in a feature request if it isn’t there.

MAN: command not found

Don’t shout. He’s shy.
