Margot Comstock

Career Comstock worked as a freelance textbook editor, magazine article writer, and journalist. She also enjoyed playing games, and in 1979 she won more than $15,000 on the television game show Password. She and her husband Allan Tommervik purchased an Apple II+ with some of the money. She was enthusiastic about trying games and other software for the computer, along with its larger potential for helping people try new things. Comstock was 39 at the time. She set the vision for the magazine as taking a journalistic approach, instead of focusing on programming as other contemporary computer magazines did.
