Commodore User (September 1984)

_{Cover of the September 1984 issue of Commodore User}

Commodore User was a magazine dedicated to Commodore computer users that was published in the U.K. In 1984 that mostly meant the Commodore 64 and VIC-20 which was already fading away. The September 1984 issue includes:

Control your home with a Vic or 64 - Long, long before Alexa came along, you could use computers, even 8-bit computers like the VIC-20 and Commodore 64, to control things in your home. This is the first in a series of articles on doing this. The most common standard for such things back in the day was X10.

The Forth dimension - part one: a do-it-yourself language - Part one in a series on the Forth programming language. Forth seemed to be immensely popular for about 5 minutes (ok, maybe a couple of years).

Word processing round-up: Home Office reviewed - A review of Home Office, a package that came on cassette for the Commodore 64 (originally developed for the VIC-20) that included a word processor and database program.
