InfoWorld began life as The Intelligent Machines Journal, founded in 1978, Intelligent Machines Journal was a newsweekly, printed on broadsheet and stapled at the spine. While most computer journals in the 1970s focused on mainframe and minicomputers, The Intelligent Machines Journal devoted itself almost exclusively to microprocessor-based computers. It changed its name to InfoWorld in 1980, but continued publication on broadsheet until adopting a more conventional 8 1/2 x 11 format. In 2007, InfoWorld moved to an entirely Web-based publication.
