Interface Age evolved out of the club newsletter for the Southern California Computer Society: SCCS Interface. The magazine catered to a fairly technical readership and offered product reviews as well as programming information and coverage of more technical topics.
The split between SCCS Interface and Interface Age occurred when the publishers realized that the magazine had profit potential and decided to take production in-house to capitalize on that. As someone put it to me once (paraphrased) the magazine was stolen from the geeks because it could make money.
