Computist

Computist was a magazine devoted to the Apple II personal computer that was published by Charles R. Haight under the SoftKey Publishing name, between 1981 and 1993, for a total of 89 issues. The magazine was based in Tacoma, Washington. Originally launched as Hardcore Computing, the magazine was quickly split into two sister publications, Core and Hardcore Computist. The word "hardcore" was later given reduced emphasis in the title after a young subscriber complained that his mother was throwing the issues away, believing them to be pornography. The word was formally dropped from the title with the 27th issue.
