In the early 80's the very first Computer magazine for the Spectrum Sinclair was published - YOUR SINCLAIR.
There are magazines and there are magazines - and when it comes to microcomputer publishing, there are even more magazines. But however wide the choice, always there seems to be an unquenchable public thirst for more.
The Sinclair Spectrum has been an astounding success story. Who, after all, could resist saying "Wowee!" to the idea of 16K plus colour for under the ton (even though many buyers promptly added the extra £30 to triple the available memory)? And even if the machine is no longer 'new', still nothing seems able to staunch the flow of demand.
However, times they are a'changing and yesterday's newcomer aspires to be today's Spectrum literate. Your Spectrum evolved with them in mind. It's for those who are eager to step beyond basics. For those who enjoy testing and stretching their own knowledge an expertise. The magazine, in comparison to others, may seem a bit of a 'Vogon', but that's because we're on a new insterstellar highway - one which doesn't stretch logic to the point of boredom. And at times the content may seem a bit tricky to you - tough, that's what progress is all about!
Don't give up, because we're in business to broaden your computing spectrum.
Your Spectrum will be many things to many people: a forum for ideas; an open door for those who 'do' to explain how they 'did' it; and a space where Spectrum owners are able to share their enthusiasm with others.
Your Spectrum is about YOUR Spectrum - keep in touch. Accept no substitute. Tell us what you think.
