Micro Cornucopia

Micro Cornucopia was a 1980s microcomputer magazine for hobbyists and enthusiasts, published at Bend, Oregon by David J. Thompson, a former Tektronix engineer.
The magazine, originally conceived as a newsletter for users of the Ferguson Big Board (a single-board CP/M computer), was published bi-monthly beginning in July 1981. It soon expanded its coverage to other board-level computers, later into general hobbyist/experimental computing, with special interest areas being robotics, interfacing, embedded control and programming languages, while keeping a wide view by also covering (then) off-mainstream topics, e.g. 3D graphics, artificial intelligence, or the special needs of handicapped users. "Micro C", as the magazine was known to its fiercely loyal readership, routinely published circuit diagrams and source code. The magazine was shut down after more than 50 issues in the early 1990s, reportedly due to the editor's change of interests.
The publishers of Micro C also organized an annual user conference dubbed "SOG" (Semi-Official Gathering) in Oregon which was free except for travel and accommodation cost.
