1/5 What was a computer magazine like in 1977? How about the premier issue of: kilobaud. The Computer Hobbyist Magazine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobaud_…
This was started by the editor/publisher of BYTE who left after the first few issues.

2/ The premier issue looked like just about every other hobbyist magazine at the time. Table of contents on the cover. Lots of editorial debates over specific tech and of course "wish list" articles (wish for an OS!) Love the debate over Z80 v 8080 v 6800 (not '000). 
3/ In the premier, Wayne Green visits with the major computer makers to see what's going on. Like literally it seems as though he just stops by.
For example he visits Motorola and learns someday there might be 64K (that's bits not bytes) ICs (so 9 req for 64Kb).
