Dear Fediverse! Being German, I'm quite familiar with German computer magazines. But not with the UK and US world. What were the “professional level” computer magazines in ca. 1980-2010 which wrote about enterprise IT, Unix, supercomputers, hardware? I'm NOT (yet) interested in software engineering or programming languages and also not very much in Linux.
I already know BYTE magazine, Unix Review and several 8bit related magazines. What else? #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #techhistory
