Professor Ed, I applaud you on this. Years ago I was co-publisher of a magazine called Computer Almanac. This was at the beginning of the PC revolution. The major publication that was around at the time was highly technical and grew out of academic and enterprise computing, Byte. We wanted to produce something that was entry level and stayed that way. So many people would immediately get lost in publications that did not realize that laymen were now going to use computers, not programmers who understood machine language. We ran for six years, grew circulation and then sold it. To this day I have friends who were our readers. Some very successful IT executives, a few entertainers, and others who are still hobbyists. Newcomers and repetition are A-OK in my book...
