It was both!!!  Wayne Green started _Kilobaud Microcomputing_
with the January 1977 issue, and it later became just
_Microcomputing_ (I am *not* sure when).  He also started
_80 Microcomputing_ with the January 1980 issue, and this magazine
was dedicated to the TRS-80.

I have most all the issue of Kilobaud until late '82, and I have
the first year of 80 Microcomputing...wish I had more of it.
