Yes, Apple //e would be 1983, but keep in mind that Electronic Musician =
did not put out their first issue under that name until January 1986!

Although the magazine family got started in 1975, it was known as =
Polyphony magazine at the time. I had a subscription to Polyphony that =
sadly lapsed after October 1984, as I was frequently changing addresses =

the time I settled into a steady off-campus address, Polyphony had =
morphed into Electronic Musician.

Coincidentally, I first thought this thread was about Keyboard magazine, =
which happened to also got its start in 1975 and also enjoyed the =
support of Craig Anderton=E2=80=99s significant writing and editing =
skills. I didn=E2=80=99t realize how much the two magazine families had =
in common (besides the obvious synthesizer subject matter).
