2024-03-02: The wiki ran out of disk space, so things were not working. This has been resolved by adding another 5GB of quota ;-) Thanks to Tim Lindner for reporting the issues.
2020-05-17: If a page gives you an error about some revision not being found, just EDIT the page and the old page should appear in the editor. If it does, just SAVE that and the page should be restored. OS-9 Al (talk) 12:22, 17 May 2020 (CDT)

| About the Publication Info Box | |
80-U.S. was a magazine focused on all TRS-80 computers. Starting in September/October 1978, it was published every two months. Then, starting in January 1982, it published monthly until the final issue in March 1984.
Name Changes
The magazine changed its name twice over the course of its existence, and in each iteration had multiple monikers - both simple and more expansive versions.
| Issue | Year | Name |
|---|---|---|
| September / October | 1978 | 80-Northwest Journal or 80-NW Journal |
| January / February | 1979 | 80-U.S. Journal or 80-U.S. |
| July | 1983 | Basic Computing: The TRS-80 User Journal |
Color Computer Coverage
Right after the Color Computer's September 1980 debut, 80-U.S. informed its readers in its very next (November / December 1980) issue. CoCo coverage began in earnest with the March/April 1981 issue's in-depth CoCo article by William Barden, Jr. Although never a CoCo-exclusive publication, 80-U.S. stuck with the CoCo for the entire rest of its run.
