- Computer Shopper (US) was nearly 50% as thick as yellow pages.
- PC Magazine varied from 30-50% of Computer Shopper
- PC World was comparable to maybe slightly thinner
- BYTE preceded all of the above with homebrew computing
For software development, there were:
- C/C++ User's Journal
- Dr. Dobb's Journal (DDJ) (dr. dobb's journal of Tiny BASIC Calisthenics & Orthodontia)
In the unique department:
- Whole Earth Catalog (and Whole Earth Access stores, and The WELL)
Speaking of BBSes, tinyfugue (originated from D&D MUDs) was used in Stanford's IT department as a networked chat app like Slack or IRC for sometime. I wonder if they kept it going. Many shops are moving away from IRC and onto apps like Mattermost.
