Yep, nothing to compare to your site :D . It was for everyone's info.

Browsable HTML and PDF - Compute!'s first 4 issues, 1985

Found HERE. You can browse the index and / or download the whole issue in pdf format. :wink:

Apparently, no other mags, books or manuals are archived there.

WOW! Nice feature... you can drag the window corner and the ratio changes accordingly.
