The "Databases" topic originally planned for Issue 3 later appeared as a feature article in Hardcore Computist #6.

Each issue of Computist included several "SoftKeys", short code snippets and instructions designed to circumvent software copy protection routines.

When Creative Computing later closed down, Computist ran an obituary in Issue 28, reprinting one of its previous articles about the debate, as well as a response from a CC editor, George Blank.

This last, beginning with issue 66, was intended as a cost-saving measure as subscriptions and reader contributions began to fall off with the waning popularity of the Apple II line.

The final issue (#89) listed only four contributors, including Krakowicz, whose "submission" was nothing more than a section of his series on cracking protected software that had been circulating the BBS community for a while.
