Kilobaud Microcomputing
open-in-new
<p><i>Kilobaud Microcomputing</i> was a <a href="/facts/Magazine/4CPK1emz">magazine</a> dedicated to the <a href="/facts/Homebrew_Computer_Club/le81rnW2">computer homebrew</a> <a href="/facts/Hobby/MH1aFd8v">hobbyists</a> from 1977 to 1983. It was one of the three influential computer magazines of the 1970s, along with <a href="/facts/Byte_(magazine)/xWovF95Q"><i>BYTE</i></a> and <a href="/facts/Creative_Computing_(magazine)/xDFuhfa2"><i>Creative Computing</i></a>. It focused mostly on the kit-build market, rather than the pre-assembled <a href="/facts/Home_computer/CDEPVd1T">home computers</a> that emerged, and as the kit market declined in the early 1980s, <i>Kilobaud</i> lost relevance and closed in 1983. After this, company continued publishing other magazines dedicated to particular platforms rather than the kit market. </p>
