The Evolving Personal Computing Environment: Getting the Word

Abstract

When you make effective use of a personal computer, that use is likely to change over time in ways that may not be apparent. A look back as little as six months or a year earlier may reveal some surprises. Those surprises may tell you something about your own priorities, conscious or unconscious. The author introduces his new column environment and what those changes may mean. He also discusses the column itself, and why Common Sense Personal Computing is no more. The author also discusses some changes in the periodical literature of personal computing, introducing a major new magazine. Finally, the author begins an ongoing discussion of items from the periodical literature with some of the hot topics from June‐August 1988.
