[Swlug] SWLUG Cardiff meeting Tuesday 10th June

[Gerald Davies]

I used to buy it occasionally. The 'Format' name/brand reminded me of
others - Amiga, ST, PC, etc. I did have a sub to Linux Journal
magazine.

There is still that ADMIN magazine, although prices of magazines are a
bit silly these days, possibly indicative of a dying print media.
https://www.admin-magazine.com/

Perhaps, like others, they will end up being archived somewhere like
archive.org over time.

It still amuses me that INPUT magazine is on there, which dates back
to the mid '80s

Back then I used to buy Crash (home computer game culture, etc) and
loved the artwork of Oliver Frey.

Cheers, Gerald

Most tend to have a meal at the pub, but it's up to you if you want to stay for a drink or two (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and/or a meal, or just pop by to say hello :-)
