>Looking back now the publishing industry around home computers was a whole world in itself.
PC Magazine's December 1983 issue was almost 800 pages (<https://books.google.com/books?id=05wAGZQlo9QC&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false https://books.google.com/books?id=05wAGZQlo9QC&pg=PP1#v=onep...>); almost certainly the thickest in the history of magazine publishing. (PC soon began publishing every two weeks.)
BYTE peaked in, I believe, November 1983 (<https://archive.org/details/sim_byte_1983-11_8_11 https://archive.org/details/sim_byte_1983-11_8_11>, with a comparably thick issue. 80 Micro peaked in November 1982 (<https://archive.org/details/sim_80-micro_1982-11_34 https://archive.org/details/sim_80-micro_1982-11_34>, at more than 500 pages; by 1983, with the IBM PC clearly becoming the standard, serving the TRS-80 market was less lucrative.
