2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

| 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.
