Q. I am going to spend some time in France and will be taking my Atmos. I want to avoid linguistic 'interference' from English magazines, so can you recommend a French counterpart (or several) to PCN?

A. Mais oui, madame. Probably the best to look for is an all-purpose computer mag called Votre Ordinateur. We believe there's a dedicated Oric magazine called L'Oriciel too. As for linguistic interference we bet you'll get plenty of that unless the French have gone so far as to insist on Pour...Prochaine loops.
