I know it's not software but wasn't quite sure were to place this tread. It is software and hardware related. The early '90s was an interesting time and one I fondly remember quite well. Dos battles, Windows 3.x and OS/2 were the talk of town tech wise wrt x86s. Apple had some interesting products and the most sold single model personnal computer of all time, C64, finally stopped production. Linux was born. At this time there were were a ton of computer rags being sold around the world relating to computer products. Here in New Zealand the most viewed were Australian magazines. At work the odd US or UK mag would show and it would show the various market differences. The UK rags seemed to have the most variety and a few months old, where as the US were more x86 vs Apple and more corporate orientated.
The two most viewed Australian mags for me were Your Computer and Australian Personal Computer. I loved viewing the glossy ads, reading about new tech and my most favorite sections were letters to the editors as well as the trouble shooting sections. Your Computer produced a Tech Tips compilation of it's trouble shooting sections a couple times a year. I recently come across a couple these digests while getting reacquainted with the stuff I had boxed up. A rediscovery if you will.
What mags did you guys oogle over back then?

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉
