"73" publisher Wayne Green originally put the computer hobbyist articles in 73, but when the amount of computer articles started to choke out the ham radio articles, he created a new magazine called "Kilobaud". There was still the occasional computer article in 73, but usually only those that directly applied to ham radio. I had the first issue when I was younger, because I was a subscriber to 73 and IIRC Green sent all 73 subscribers a couple of copies of Kilobaud to try and get us to subscribe to it as well. That's where I saw my first KIM-1 ad and my first COSMAC Elf ad, and it took me until last year to finally get a KIM (actually, I have two. One with a neat history, one that's a little cleaner.)
