OH YEAH! I did that too! Oh man I forgot about those magazines...what where they called..."Ahoy" Magazine or something like that for the old Commodore 64 mags...yeah yeah :-P
We had an Apple IIe so it probably wasn't Ahoy, 'BitPower' or something goofy.
I remember my grandmother worked in a comic book factory and she used to swipe a couple different computer magazines for me that they printed there...loved those things!
