BEEBLET was the magazine of the BBC/ACORN Computer Users Group NZ (inc), back in about 1983 through 1992. I recently bought a bulk lot of Beeblet magazines, with the intention of publishing them in full here.

I have issues dating from Volume 3 Number 5 (June 1985) through to what I believe is the last issue published, Volume 10 Number 1 March 1992. Some issues seem to be missing pages, because the person putting them together put duplicate pages in the magazine, leaving out the correct ones. A little like having two left shoes.

Beeblet was issued under the ISSN 0112-3351 and was domiciled in Wellington, New Zealand.

I have recently experimented with using an OCR program (Abbyy Fine Reader, which came with a Lexmark printer/copier/scanner) to turn the .jpg images of each page into a textual equivalent, which will get picked up by the search engines. I’ve done the June 1985 issue so far, it is still rather time consuming.
