Incredibly (or maybe not) this and the September 1984 issues are the only old copies of SciAm that I've kept too. I dropped my subscription when they started dumbing it down.

The September issues were always single topic issues and the one in 1984 was on computer software with articles written by leaders in their sub-fields: Alan Kay had the lead article in this issue with other names: Niklaus Worth, Andy van Dam, Doug Lenat, Terry Winograd, Peter Denning, Stephen Wolfram, etc.. The ads where nowhere near as interesting in this issue as the 1977 one. Apple had a big spread on the Mac, HP only had a terrible ad mentioning the HP3000 system (I ran several of these for 15 years, I loved them), Elek-Tek was selling the HP-15C for $90 and still had the HP-97 for $560.
