Apricot File

Apricot File

"Apricot File" was a British magazine catering for users of early Apricot Computers microcomputer systems. It was based in London, published by TP Group and edited throughout its lifetime by Dennis Jarrett. There were 36 issues, all in A4 format: the first, numbered 1.1, was dated October 1985 and the last, 3.12, was undated but appeared in September or October 1988. Contents included consumer reviews of Apricot hardware and software, and technical advice on programming for Apricots. David Langford was a regular columnist from 1.3 (December 1985) until the final issue. Dennis Jarrett's farewell editorial noted that "Apricot File" subscribers were being steadily lost "to the beckoning lure of IBM-compatibility."
