+Allan Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I have scanned some Atari ST articles from Computer Shopper magazines. Some I had done a while ago but some I have just recently have done. You can find them in my archive.org account. https://archive.org/details/@allan52?query=computer+shopper 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thank you for the work on this. Just making sure my tired, old, 59 year old mind is remembering this correctly...Computer Shopper was that very large, oversized magazine (small book?)

+Allan Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Correct. It's why they are so hard to find. Especially on-line. You need an over-sized scanner to scan them. Luckily I have one. Some time in the 2000s they started printing them in a normal magazine size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterMotorola Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Allan, thank you for scanning these wonderful magazines. My dad started buying them in the late 1980s into the early '90s (they are still stacked in a closet back home) and I would spend hours looking through the articles and advertisements. As a teenage boy, I also distinctly remember large full-colour ads in Computer Shopper for "Discount Paradise" or "Paradise Joe's Discount Computers" or something to that effect that featured bikini-clad women holding laptops and modems -- anyone else remember those ads? ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
