ScuzzBlog: Diaries November 2020 Entry 30th November 2020: Post 1: Amiga Computing - Muddled numbers. Amiga Computing - Muddled numbers. I got real confused recently when I tried to catalogue my Amiga Computing magazines from the early era. Time was magazines were published in volumes. So the first year, irrespective of the month, would start at the first publication Volume 1 Number 1. The idea being that you would purchase a folder and place each years editions in one folder and sit on a bookshelf. That was the theory. And so Amiga Computing being one of those older style publications began its life as Volume 1 Number 1. Problem was that both the volume 1 Number 9 and Volume 2 Number 9 are both dated Feb 1989. A well known magazine rack online has the Feb 90 cover with the inside pages of Feb 89. All very confusing. In reality Vol2/9 for Feb 1990 should be dated as such and not February 1989. Interestingly in February 90 they announced they would no longer be providing cover disks. And yet some three months later in May of that year they began again shipping disks with magazines. Fortunately in December 90 there was no Vol 3 Number 7 as they changed the numbering system and the edition became Issue 31. Also in July 91 the magazine became bigger for a while with a new look. I do like Amiga Computing. Probably my most favourite magazine. So I can forgive them for muddling up the numbers. Amiga Computing - Muddled numbers. And that is the only subscribers disk I have.
