(C) V. Kazakov


  Today I want to give advice Dr.This' a of the Jura 
Spectrofun. I sincerely hope that the doctor answered readers' 
questions and help you cope with their problems.



  1. Dear Doctor! I am 14 years old, I was a schoolboy.
Please help me! All my friends say
that the computer must be at least 128, while
me - a mere 48. With the parents I talk to
this theme too shy, they are my strict. Is
this pathology? Tell me what should be
a normal computer. "


  No pathology here. In this case,
the norm is all that gives you
the pleasure of speaking that you nicely.

  Remember, a lot depends on you. I know
many cases when a person with a computer at 48
vytvoryayu such that his neighbor (who, incidentally,
was at 512) did not even dream of.

  It is quite another matter if an adult, he
no more than 16 - an urgent need to address the
doctor.


  2. "My name is Nastya, I'll fall in Grade 8.
My problem is that I have a very
a small amount of RAM. Are there any ways
increase it? The girls in the class above me
laughing ... "


  There is nothing funny about it. Too many people
faced with this problem. Fortunately,
Currently, there are many ways to
overcome. Each has its advantages and
disadvantages. How to choose - you decide. Just do not
Remember to first consult with a specialist.


  3. "Write you Misha conscripts. Three
years ago I started demomeykerstvom and
been doing it ever since. Tried several times
quit, but nothing happened. Perhaps I'm a weirdo
and infirm. Soon to return to the citizen - and
As I look into the eyes of his comrades? "


  Calm down, no reason for concern.
This is completely normal, stage, through
which are many. By some estimates, up to
85% of men did the same, or
doing it until now. Usually, after some
time it passes.

  Of course, if you do this a few
times during the day, bringing themselves into a frenzy -
need psychiatric intervention.


  4. "My husband and I are doing a backup every Friday
a copy of all of our information. I prefer the floppy
"Sigma", but my husband likes "KMT-130 double
density. "Who of us is right?"


  You're both right. Each of you is your ideal,
their habits. And that is another point of view is
right to exist.

  My advice to one - Do this more often.


  5. "On the wedding night my wife and I tried
establish a 3.5 floppy drive, but we do not
happened. Maybe we are sick with something?
Tell me, where shall we go? "


  The main thing - do not worry. Did not work the first
time - try again. Do not be afraid
experiment, and all you need
succeed. Light the candles, turn on the quiet calm
music, and - go ahead!

  Remember: more than 1 million people have experienced the same
trouble as you. And how much is still
be?!


  6. "How many pages of RAM on my computer?"


  And what is your difference? If one - what, you tell her
use will not? And if they are seven - seven
add? They main thing - that they were.


  7. "Just got a new computer. How
determine, first, I had a user or not? "


  It does not matter. The most important thing - to find
understanding.


  8. "How do I insert a floppy disk 5,25"? "


  Usually it takes the right hand and inserted into
appropriate size hole to a depth of approximately
eight fingers. However, if you're a southpaw, you can
safely use the left hand - the prohibitions here
inappropriate.


  9. "My new computer has only one
drive at 5.25. "At work I have many
Disk 3,5 ". Tell me whether my drive is on
5.25 "over time to adapt to the 3,5" floppy? "


  Alas, can not. This is one of the best examples
incompatibility.


  10. "When I was in first grade, I was approached
high school student and offered to write him a program
in BASIC. I began to refuse, but he did
made. Since then, I write programs only for
BASIC. Sometimes, when parents leave, we
gathers a group of 6-8 guys and write programs
in Basic together.

  A year ago I met a girl, and she
suggested I write a program in assembler. Y
I did not work out: I threw up and then long
headache.

  My name is Valery, in September I
turns 47 years old. My life is broken. "


  I appeal primarily to adults: Explain to your children, 
dangers lurk in their school, on the street, on a visit. Tell 
us what happened to them can make adult uncle with mental 
disorders. Just do not be too intimidated - children are very

impressionable, they can arise from complexes
which will then interfere in their adult life.


  11. "Write your student. Recently, I had
disc. I really liked it and I soon
put in the drive. At first all went well, but
When I launched the program, the disc behaved
country and offer a choice of 'Retry? Abort?
Ignore? ' I chose the Abort ... Do I
Received?


  You did quite right. You do not just
lucky with the disk. There are some drives that
You are not interested in your program, but only very
process of rotation in the drive. Do not worry -
Sooner or later you will have another good
disc.


  12. "I've heard that in the west there are shops where
sell inflatable screens and wooden
keyboard. "


  These stores also have us, and everywhere. But
better buy a good computer.


  13. "Is it true that alcohol harms
Programming? "


  Absolutely. First, it reduces pleasure
especially in women. Second, in our time
appears up to 75% (!) software-freaks.
Even on their external features you might guess,
that most of them were written in a drunken
state. So what has been programming
more often, but always sober. "
