Magazines - Dutch speakers/readers required
Hello, all..
The magazine project continues, and I THINK I may have found a mistake with one of the folders on WoS?
Unfortunately, the magazines in question are in Dutch, so I'm not sure if one is perhaps a rename or something??
https://wos.meulie.net/pub/sinclair/magazines/DeSpectrum/
Appears to be a mix of a magazine called "De Spectrum" and "Het Computerblad SPECTRUM"
De Spectrum:
01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07,
Het Computerblad SPECTRUM
0404, 0405, 0502, 08, 09, 10, 11
De Spectrum appears to have a note of the month/year, but Het Computerblad SPECTRUM doesn't?
Any chance someone who can speak/read Dutch have a look at these to see if it's been a mistake, or if one is a rename/similar?
And if there's any clues about when the issues of Het Computerblad SPECTRUM were published?
All help gratefully received :)
Toodle-pip!

As for publication date, either the info is in there, careful reading should provide some clues, or you could try Googling publisher to see if (s)he can be contacted today & give that info. That last option is a long shot obviously, but fact is most people active in the early 80's can still be found / contacted today.
The reason I thought a Dutch speaker might be needed was in case it had things like
"Welcome to the April issue", or some kind of similar clue to identify which month it was published.
De Spectrum has a few issues which say which month it was published in.
Het Computerblad SPECTRUM, on the other hand doesn't... Hence me hoping for some clues in the text :)
Volume 4 Issue 4 September 1989
Volume 4 Issue 5 October 1989
Volume 5 Issue 2 March 1990
In the other four, numbered 8,9,10,11/12, the number is an issue number, as mentioned in the foreword (eg. "Eindelijk, nummer 8 is er, maar hoe!"). There were six issues per year ("Een jaarabonnement (6 nummers)"). The last one combines content which was intended for two separate issues ("Met dit gecombineerde nummer is de achterstand ingelopen." - "This combined issue catches up with the backlog.") It's possible that those last four with the higher numbers were published before the other three, as the file naming is mixing up volume numbers and issue numbers. There may be further clues in the articles.
No idea why I didn't notice those before, but I'm glad someone did.
Thanks again for the assistance, folks.
No doubt I'll be on with another magazine soon. I think I have a few on my list of "dateless mags".
Toodle-pip!

Sorry - not had my coffee yet :)
Are you suggesting that they are the same fanzine?
They started as De Spectrum, and became Het Computerblad SPECTRUM when Ferry Groothedde took over?
