Communicator 1000/3000
Communicator Magazine was HP’s end-user magazine for its computer systems customers (3000, 1000/2000, 9600 systems). It was introduced in June of 1975. These magazines were usually between 50 and 100 pages long in the 1970s and 100 to 200 pages long in the 1980s. They contained information on a wide variety of subjects: software tips, hardware updates, manual listings, training schedules, software listings, and other topics related to using and optimizing HP systems. Communicator was not published on a scheduled basis. It might be published only three or four times a year, or published every month for three months.
The first twelve editions of Communicator included information on all HP systems. In June of 1977, HP began publishing separate magazine for its 1000 and 3000 customers (recognizing that these systems had little in common from the perspective of users).
Most of the museum's Communicator collection was donated by John Geremin of Megatronics Australia. The museum has most copies of Communicator published between 1975 and 1983, excluding some 1976 editions.

Communicator 1000

Communicator 3000
The museum has most editions of Communicator 3000. Editions not listed below are available on HP LaserROM CD. HP began distributing manuals and other documentation on CD (LaserROM) beginning in the early 1990s. The LaserROMs also included a full HP product catalog and listings of thrid party products. These CDs were very complete. Unfortunately, they were also a little cumbersome to use, particularly the viewing of images. And, there was no way to print the material. HP began distributing PDF versions of manuals and other documentation on CD in the mid 1990s. This format was much easier to use. Click here for a listing of Communicator 3000 available on LaserROM.
