I remember my brother buying RUN from the early days. He would sometimes let me read an issue that was older but would horde the newer issues (and the type in programs he typed up) so I had to wait.

I would have bought my own copy but the only store that carried RUN, any computer magazines in general, kept them with the adult magazines - porn. They literally had that area of the store roped off and if they saw kids in that area, or near the ropes, they got mad or even kicked you out. They refused to get any mags for me too because "nothing but magazines you don't need to be reading over there". 😂

Do you remember when Compute!'s Gazette came with disks with the programs on it? I wanted several so bad but man, they were so much higher than just the issue.
