The Rainbow (magazine)

[4] The magazine's "...articles, comments, tips, and program listings..."[5] were good enough to attract advertisements from The Micro Works and JARB Software by the release of the third issue.

Beginning with the first anniversary issue, the magazine was professionally typeset and had full color covers.

Lonnie Falk was elected mayor of Prospect in November 1993 and was continued in office until his death in June 2006 at age 63[8] of a heart attack.

The BASIC programs were printed in a fixed font with 32 characters per line so that they would show up just as they did on the CoCo's standard 32×16 text screen.

The magazine provided a small program called Rainbow Check Plus which helped users type in the listings accurately.

This system required the user to type the listing exactly as it appeared, including all spaces and possible typographical errors.

Some users preferred to edit and improve the program as they typed it, at the risk of making hard-to-find mistakes.

The magazine had a department called the Rainbow Scorecard which registered high scores achieved by readers playing CoCo video games.
