Australian Personal Computer
|
APC (formerly known as Australian Personal Computer) is a computer magazine in Australia. It is published monthly and comes with a cover-mounted DVD of software. The magazine is published by ACP Magazines Limited, which is one of the companies in the PBL Media group.
According to the current editor, Tony Sarno, APC remains the personal computing magazine of choice for IT professionals and "power-users" (APC, June 2004, P10). The tagline on the front of the magazine is "high performance personal computing" which APC uses as its point of distinction from other computing titles published in Australia, such as PC User which targets beginner-medium users, and Atomic which targets gamers/modders.
APC was first published in May 1980 by Sean Howard and is the longest running computer-magazine in Australia.
The magazine also has a website, which publishes daily technology news (separate to what's in the printed magazine, with very few exceptions).

Cover disc
Every month, APC includes a cover-mounted DVD containing a variety of software that “value-adds” to the magazine: this ranges from sample code and programs demonstrated in the magazine's Workshop pages, through to trial versions of the latest software releases, plus three to four “full-working versions” of programs that are no longer current editions. Also included on the disc are newly released game demos as well as instructional videos.
APC first included a cover CD on its September 1996 issue. On its December 2004 issue, APC was the first IT publication in Australia to start regularly including a cover DVD instead of CD.
It is currently edited and produced by Peter Dockrill, who has worked on it since April 2008.
