Eventually it would cover the CPC, PCW and PC range of Amstrad computers.
It was an independent publication, originally sourcing and writing all it's own articles and content from writers mostly within AustralianAustralia.
As this became more difficult with time, it set up agreements with Future Publishing and Database Publications to reprint content from their respective magazines - Amstrad Action and CPC Computing (formerly Computing with the Amstrad).
This was on a subscriber only basis and the tape was never directly sold with the magazine.
Through the mid to late 80's and 1990 the The magazine was widely available throughout Australia and New Zealandfrom 1985 through to the end of 1990.
It was a reasonable size magazine, with the average length of each issue being 64 pages.
After issue 71 (Dec 1990), it became known as "The PC Mag plus The Amstrad User" (Jan 1991 was the first issue @ $4.50 per issue) - issues were no longer numbered. It still contained CPC/PCW/PC content and was definitely starting to expand beyond Amstrad. I believe it ran until September 1991 (9 issues in total) with Strategy Publications ceasing operations around then.
