About Me

Hi! You've arrived at the Myspace page of the UK's favourite weekly computer magazine!

We're packed to the proverbial rafters with news, reviews, features opinions and great deals on new and used PC kit. From our famed classified ad service to our coverage of breaking technologies, for nearly 21 years -- count 'em! -- we've been the magazine for and written by computing enthusiasts.

And we think computers should be fun. So forgive us for the odd bad gag along the way...

To get involved, you can send in pictures of your computer area -- the messier, the better! -- for our Readers' Dives feature; if you happen to spot Windows crashing in public, send in a photo for our, er, Windows Crashing feature, or you can enter our weekly caption competition. Visit our website at www.micromart.co.uk , check out the forums, or visit your local newsagent for more.
