SVI & MSX Australasian Users Group
Run for over three years by a dedicated group of mainly ex-CPM users who where dedicated to the Spectravideo range of computers. In later years it also covered the more expanded range of MSX machines.
Produced out of Launceston, Tasmania Australia.
Personally I mainly contributed some early software titles, and learnt a lot from the informative articles. It inspired me to produce the Micro's Gazette magazine to fill the gap after both this users group and Computer Forum ceased operations.
