PC Magazine
''PC Magazine'' (sometimes referred to as ''PC Mag'') is a computer magazine published by Ziff Davis. A print edition was published from 1982 to January 2009. Publication of online editions started in late 1994 and continues to this day.
==History==
In an early review of the new IBM PC, ''Byte'' reported "the announcement of a new magazine called ''PC: The Independent Guide to the IBM Personal Computer''. It is published by David Bunnell, of Software Communications, Inc. ... It should be of great interest to owners of the IBM Personal Computer". The first issue of ''PC'', dated February–March 1982, appeared early that year. (The word ''Magazine'' was not added to the logo until the first major redesign in January 1986). ''PC Magazine'' was created by Bunnell and (Cheryl Woodard ), who also helped David found the subsequent ''PC World'' and ''Macworld'' magazines. Eddie Currie and Tony Gold, a co-founder of Lifeboat Associates who financed the magazine, were early investors in ''PC Magazine''. The magazine grew beyond the capital required to publish it, and to solve this problem, Gold sold the magazine to Ziff-Davis who moved it to New York City, New York. Bunnell and his staff left to form ''PC World'' magazine.
The first issue of ''PC'' featured an interview with a very young Bill Gates, made possible by his friendship with David Bunnell who was among the first journalists and writers to take an interest in personal computing.
By its third issue ''PC'' was square-bound because it was too thick for saddle-stitch. At first the magazine published new issues every two months, but became monthly as of the August 1982 issue, its fourth. In March 1983 a reader urged the magazine to consider switching to a biweekly schedule because of its thickness, and in June another joked of the dangers of falling asleep while reading ''PC'' in bed. Although the magazine replied to the reader's proposal with "Please say you're kidding about the bi-weekly schedue. Please?", after the December 1983 issue reached 800 pages in size, in 1984 ''PC'' began publishing new issues every two weeks, with each about 400 pages in size. In January 2008 the magazine dropped back to monthly issues.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pcmag.com/previous_issues/0,1881,p=4,00.asp )〕 Print circulation peaked at 1.2 million in the late 1990s. In November 2008 it was announced that the print edition would be discontinued as of the January 2009 issue, but the online version at pcmag.com would continue. By this time print circulation had declined to about 600,000.
