Practical Computing Magazine was a UK computer magazine published monthly. The magazine was published by Ziff-Davis Publishing Holdings Inc. The first edition was released in August 1978 as a special computer show edition, and the second issue was October 1978. The magazine carried on to about 1987 when it merged (or renamed?).

Overview
