No, I did not, but it would be a great source of info if they had online the
early issues :-(
I should also check the PCW and PCMag, but I have not any links to these
yet.

It's a MSc thesis, on Retrocomputing and Recycling of home micros of the
area 1975-1995 (mostly 80s actually)
Deadline is really short, draft at the end of the month, complete
presentation in mid-October. But I need desperately any stats to build a
business model.
