Computer Magazines
Compupress published the first Greek computer magazine: Computers For All (Computer Για Ολους) - which celebrated its 300th issue in August 2009. In the past the magazine has licensed material from the well-known British magazines Personal Computer World, PC Plus and PC Answers. Having already migrated as an e-magazine to the iPad as well as the Adobe Digital Editions platforms in 2012, the magazine published its final paper issue (#344) in May 2013.
The company also published Pixel, a Greek language home computing magazine during the era of the 8/16-bit micros (Sinclair ZX81, ZX Spectrum, VIC-20, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Amiga etc.). Pixel was one of the few Greek magazines to have a whole section dedicated to type-in programs. Pixel helped initiate a large number of young Greeks to the computer revolution of the 1980s.
In September 1989, Compupress launched PC Master - similar to Pixel but with a focus on IBM Compatible computing.
In 2007, the company launched Update an annual Business Software Guide aimed at the professional.

Famous quotes containing the words computer and/or magazines:
“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.”
—Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
“The most important service rendered by the press and the magazines is that of educating people to approach printed matter with distrust.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
