Computing With The Amstrad - Australian Edition

2 bytes added, 02:23, 18 December 2025
'''Computing with the Amstrad''' (CWTA) was published in Australia by Strategy Software (under license from Database Publications) in Glen Waverley, Victoria in mid-1986 (this had nothing to do with the similarly named Strategy Publications in the suburb next door in Mount Waverly, Victoria that produced [[The Amstrad User]] - although, they did share early/founding history) who then later in early 1987 moved to Blackmans Bay, Tasmania. The magazine was later published (from June '87) by Planet Publications Pty Ltd (still in Blackmans Bay, TAS).
 
The first issue premiered in August 1986 at $3.60 per issue and the last issue being December 1987 (16 issues in total). The second issue contains a editors note [https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/File:CWTA-AE_09-1986Page24.jpg here] clarifying some reader confusion about this magazine and its main competitor. Due to the change in publishers in June '87 there [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/File:CWTA-AE-Jul87Page66.jpg was no June issue due to various takeover delays].
 
The magazine was available in Australia, New Zealand, across the South Pacific and even South Africa. Strategy Software didn't disappear - they still provided hardware and software products for the rest of the magazines life (and beyond perhaps?).
