In addition to the IIGS manual photo scans, I brought home an Apple //c manual from KansasFest to scan each individual photo in the manual. A collage was made of the best as shown but included here for scrolling through are the individual example photos where the manual demonstrates, for example inserting a disk.

KansasFest 2017 had an abundance of Apple IIGS manuals for giveaway which was perfect for me to flick through and compare them. I found two versions with very different stock photograph and decided to unbind the two manuals for high resolution scanning. Each page was scanned on an Epson Perfection V700 scanner and individually levelled and joined in Adobe photoshop.

Your Computer was Australian publication that covered news and articles related to popular home computers in the market at the time (late 80s). Apple II, IIGS, Commodore/Amiga and IBM compatibles are covered. Scans of this magazine are relevant to modern interest. A quick scroll through the PDF files shows news about upcoming products and the time frame around them. An example is the evolution of home printing, as we have come from the 40-column Daisy Wheel type to affordable laser printing at 1200dpi.
Your Computer is loaded with advertisements for Australian local businesses and dealers. This allows for easy comparison of prices and value to modern products. I combine the date of the magazine and price listed with the RBA’s Inflation Calculator to compare. The entry-level Epson LX-86 is listed for $495 and would cost $1,261.95AUD in 2016!
Other international magazines have also been added, and by my understanding are presented to the internet some for the first time. Titles include:
Enjoy the huge range of advertisements, news articles in high quality PDF files as freely shared above.
