==What is the Home Computer Compendium?==
It may be better to begin answering the above question by describing what the Horne Computer Compendium is not.
As you can see, HCC is not a slick, high-priced magazine. Nor is it a clever merchandising scheme. We have no intention of selling you, the reader, anything other than this magazine. We have no plans to market software, books, T-shirts or anything
else that cannot fit between the covers of the Compendium. To paraphrase a popular television commercial, we will strive to do only one thing well.
So what is the Horne Computer Compendium?
It is a conduit, a source of information and a vehicle for the dissemination of information.
It is also unique among computer publications inasmuch as it operates under newspaper-type deadlines. All of our schedules revolve around the goal of providing up-to-date articles and news. We have the capability of going to press within a day of completing a late-breaking story, unlike other publications which must work months in advance of publication dates.
We also offer a classified advertising section, which we hope
you will find useful.
Each edition will also include a minimum of six staff-produced
reviews of software, hardware and other items designed for use
with the TI home computer. They will be unbiased, consumer-oriented
reviews with an opportunity for rebuttal on the part of vendors.
We urge you to review this edition carefully. It is the prototype
of what will follow. We hope it is the smallest we ever
publish, but regardless of its size we feel that the Compendium
is an idea whose time has come.
We hope you agree.
Sincerly,
