Governments didn't care about that in those days (just as they don't care now). Anyway, the cost for doing that would have bumped up the price of the magazines.

Governments didn't care about that in those days (just as they don't care now). Anyway, the cost for doing that would have bumped up the price of the magazines. Would readers have paid that? Some, maybe. As for including a disk with the magazines, not every computer in those days had a disk drive and not everyone owned an external drive. The people I knew with computers used a cassette tape deck to load and store programs or they'd buy plug-in cartridges.
