FW: TRS-80 Magazines

I stand corrected. The "Kilobaud" was dropped around 1982; I thought that it
remained in small letters, but I just checked my back issues and it's gone.
However, 80 Microcomputing was a separate sister publication to Kilobaud
devoted to TRS-80 systems. It did change its name to 80 Micro in the 80s.

Sorry for the confusion.
