Who would have thought<br />
that this year's PC Show<br />
would be the last? Come to<br />
think of it, it was rather like<br />
a wake. Some of the glitter<br />
of its past glory was still<br />
there but it was as tarnished<br />
as last year's tinsel.<br />

In the days when the<br />
event was known as the Personal<br />
Computer World<br />
Show, named after a magazine<br />
of the same name (in<br />
fact, both show and magazine<br />
were conceived in the<br />
Troubadour, a coffee house<br />
close to Earls Court) it was<br />
sponsored by publishers,<br />
VNU. At this year's Show<br />
a leaflet appeared, from a<br />
Below: The PC Show, an<br />
exhibition with more computers<br />
than a particularly wellendowed<br />
missile silo.<br />
<strong>Commodore</strong> were there, so<br />
were US Gold but both were<br />
over shadowed by the bar!<br />

<strong>Is</strong>tommun<br />
it still go ahead on another<br />
dat or at a new venue? VNU<br />
has gone awfully quiet but<br />
maybe that's a sign that<br />
something's going on behind<br />
the scenes.<br />
Judging by the poor<br />
showing within the entertainment<br />
