That was me. Thanks, but those issues are a bit after my time. I think
I mostly remember PCW favourably because I read this issue just after
starting work,

http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/big/3165/Personal-Computer-World-October-1980/

and bought an Atari 400 (my fingers still hate me) and then an 800XL
and several ST's, most of which I still have and still work. I recently
fitted a Pi inside an ST case configured as an ST emulator so I am still 
keen on Atari 33 years later. Shame the company didn't last though.
