One day I found myself writing for a publication called Presto News. It wasn’t a magazine associated with a now-defunct chain of British supermarkets. Rather, it was an A5 photocopied Amstrad CPC-focussed fanzine edited by Matt Gullam who also ran a public domain library.
I’d ordered a few disks jampacked full of games from him and his quick responses led to a rapid flurry of communication. After a few letters back and forth, I found myself grappling with a desktop-publishing package called PowerPage, writing articles and laying out pages.’s “brightest and informative new column”.
