In 1985, when all the world was young and dot-matrix printers
stalked the primeval swamps of computing, David Langford won his
Hugo Award and began a long-running column for 8000 Plus magazine
(later PCW Plus). This notoriously became the page readers turned
to first. The magazine was devoted to the Amstrad PCW, a
bestselling home computer that pioneered affordable word processing
in Britain. Langford's popular column used this official subject as
a launch pad for witty coverage of life, the universe and
everything. Freelancing writing and how to survive it; science
fiction (especially that); secrets of editors, manuscripts,
indexes, submission letters and padding; serious and spoof advice
columns; parodies of Adventure games, legal proceedings, noir
fiction and more; causes, scams and literary horror stories;
timeless satire on shabby practice in the computer industry; awful
"Thog's Masterclass" lines from SF . . . Langford shows all the wit
and skill that brought him 28 Hugo Awards.
