Check the corner "with programs to run".
This brings back memories. I used to get "Compute!" magazine (at least, I think that was it). It had several basic programs inside.
I'd spend what felt like forever keying in these programs. In the early 80's, I was quite a slow typer as computers were a relatively new fixture in the home and still relatively new in school. I'd often pair up with a friend so one person could read the program out loud while the other played hunt and peck on the keyboard.
I remember that I used to LOVE typing the word "return". It was an easy word because most of the characters were on the top row, not to mention it was used often in some programs (the old GOSUB, RETURN routines).
I may have actually seen that magazine at some point. It looks somewhat familiar. Anything with TRON anything in it drew my attention back in the day... not much has changed.

The light cycle on the cover isn't a screen capture from the movie buts it is sure made to look like one. Interesting... I wonder if that is some pre-production art work made for the movie or if its an image made just for this book.
Does the book have any info on the cover pics?
