FOR USERS OF THE BBC B, B+, MASTER 128 AND ACORN ELECTRON
Magazine: A&B COMPUTING
Publisher: Argus Press
Archive Status: Complete
A&B Computing was aimed at the Acorn and BBC computer owner and the first issue was published in May 1983, several months before Acorn's official release of the Acorn Electron.

Although one imagines the magazine was extremely popular in its heyday, copies of it are now extremely difficult to come by. The situation is even worse regarding the discs of software one could order from its pages.

EUG reviewed an issue 3.01 of A&B Computing in EUG #61, and made some quite controversial points about A&B's philosophy, and this review is well worth reading if you are interested in knowing more about this magazine. Dave E also produced unofficial companion discs of all of the programs from each issue of the magazine, which can be downloaded from the A&B section of PD World.

This page currently showcases only the front covers of each of the A&B Computing magazines which featured articles and programs for the Acorn Electron. The magazine continued for several years afterward.
