Hat tip to you, my friend! A small data point as to how your bad memories balance out the universe.
Despite not having a lot of disposable income, my parents got me a subscription to AA (staring somewhere in the late 80s). Receiving each new edition was the most exciting thing in the world as a kid. I could not wait to get home and see what was on the tape this time. The magic of software that was instilled in me in those moments has stayed with me for life.

- olddustytrail 4y agoYS was originally Dennis Publishing and was bought by Future in 1990. Learning from TFA that they nearly failed with their Amstrad offering yet ended up buying Your Sinclair is a spooky synchronicity!
- lproven 4y agoI believe that, much more recently, Future Pubs has bought the entirety of Dennis Pubs now. (!)
