Anyone up for helping me solve a little mystery? I found an old webpage quoting extensively from a review of something in the October 1997 issue of “PC World”. Only problem is, I checked that magazine and it’s not there! And it’s not in its house style either. I wonder if this might be “Personal Computer World” or another magazine with similar title, but I can’t find the issue for that month. Anyone got it on hand?
