The Micro User Magazine (BBC/Acorn) 1983-92 Complete OCR'd PDFs ///RetroPDFs

The Micro User Magazine Issues 001-115 (Mar 1983 - Sep 1992)
plus specials and subscriber letter

The Micro User (initially BBC Micro User) was a well-regarded specialist
magazine, mainly covering the Acorn BBC Micro range of computers, which
were near-ubiquitous in UK schools in the mid 80's and beyond. The Micro
User featured a mix of new, technical content and games reviews. Later,
the magazine covered the Acorn Archimedes series, the first mass-market
RISC/ARM computers, and finally relaunched as "Acorn Computing" after an
impressive 115 issues.

These PDFs are the compiled collections of page scans available on
public torrent trackers . They've been OCR'd to allow text searching and
copying - this should prove very useful for the retro archivist who'd
like to have their own local searchable archive. They look great on most
PDF readers, including the iPad.

The OCR software has done it's best, but has struggled with some of the
more unusual fonts and layouts used and by the relatively low DPI of the
source images.

The file size is a bit larger than the combined size of the original JPG
images; I've done my best to make the PDF's as compact as possible
without losing image quality. Be grateful for cheap storage :)

More OCR'd scans will be periodically available - please check

Thanks to all the visitors and donations to RetroPDFs for their support.

90's style "greets" to anyone formally or currently involved in the
Amiga scene, especially Pazza, Mic Flair, Violator, Denzil, Tango, Fat
Will, mUb and Maximan, and anyone else who read or wrote for LSD
Grapevine. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be ;)
