3 years actually. I've still got issue No. 1. dated 1978.
AFAIK there's no connection with the US magazine, the British one was
published by A. Zgorelec and proudly claimed to be "Europe's first
magazine for personal computers."

It grew to be Britains biggest computer magazine - literally, many
issues were over an inch thick, but now it's a shadow of its former
self.
