Popular Computing December 1985
I mentioned here some time ago how I understood Popular Computing had published one more issue than the apparently penultimate one I'd been able to find on the Internet Archive at the time. Not that long ago, I did find that last issue (and some of the first numbers). This rather business-focused magazine put one of its reviews on its front cover, featuring a "headless PC" the Macintosh would interface with through one of its serial ports. The review did make the point that for the $1800 the MacCharlie cost, you could buy a pretty decent PC clone (which would offer graphics as well as text) to go alongside your Mac. In any case, while there was still a next-issue preview promising a head-to-head comparison of the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST ("knocking on the Macintosh's door") and "part two" of a series on getting more from MS-DOS, this seems pretty much the end of the line for Popular Computing.
