Magazine Reviews
Reviews of the machines of the day; all but maybe 2 or 3 of which are in the museum somewhere.
Entries marked with an H have been provided by comp.sys.sinclair regular Hellraiser, other scans are from Graham Thornton (G) and Mark Anderson (MA).
Some 2018 scans arrive thanks to me finding a load of BYTE magazines, these are marked with (B)
Update for 2021 is the Positron 9000 PCW Benchtest scans from Mike Miller (MM).
