(C) 1998 D-Man/EI


   Today I hotelom to talk about computer publications:
magazines, newspapers, etc. Today they published a great many,
especially newspapers - that we are no exception. It seems that 
all izlenilis, slander and more newspapers are not doing 
anything. 

   Let's start with the magazines. In my vzglad, the coolest 
magazine is now the ZX-Format (by XL-Design), and 7-th number, 
as expected, rose to the occasion. But it seemed to me that the 
material is not enough (or is it only seemed?). Well, of 
course, is who will write in someone else's journal, when 
almost every group has its own organ. In general, I wish 
XL-Design successes continue in the same spirit, etc. etc. 

   In second place for me is the Novosibirsk Journal Flash Time 
(by Flash inc.), Though I saw only one issue, but it enough, so 
I was dragged away. Steep, though a little brake, the envelope 
in which there are bells and whistles, such as: mnogofontovost 
a single line, colored text, to insert sprites with animation 
and with all this smotrelka progressive, rather than pages. 
Introduced support for Sound Drive / Covox, You can choose from 
a variety of switches and the like, in general, oromny setup, 
with which you can customize the magazine under his car. So 
what, what a cool cover, you may say, because the most 
important content. And some will be wrong. And what if we take 
all the texts ZX-Format'a and decorate their plain text file, I 
doubt that ZF would be so popular, and even more so, so buy. So 
that the shell plays a huge role. 

   Little changed and Spectrofon (by Step), the truth is slulos 
long time, but since the article I'm writing now. But the 
latest numbers I have not so much pleased. I'm talking about 
the SF-22 'SF-23. Of course, as always at the height of the 
graph, but here's the content that T is not very much. This is 
mainly translations from various foreign magazines and 
newspapers, even some of the materials published by us, but I 
understand how difficult it is to find sechas material itself 
because the chief editor. In general, I wish Step'y all the 
best, waiting for new Spectrofon'ov, I hope you will not 
collapse, as happened with Inforkomom because SF's oldest 
magazine. 

   Recently emerged sea of magazines from different
cities in Russia and abroad. Really not a bad magazine is 
produced in the city of Kemerovo "Deja Vu", we remember, 
someone has it praise that he is steeper than ZF, but my 
reasons, it is up to ZF slightly falls short, and very good 
magazine, even carp to nothing. Good magazine vypukayut Auryn / 
CPU from Rybinsk "Adventurer", really a lot of interesting 
material, but here's the shell you like to see better, I'm 
talking about the 6-m room. Well 7-th number is generally 
rulez, sharply refined shell and all all done on 
vysote.Otlichny magazine "Oddisey" (by Accept corp.) but I have 
heard that they want to engage him, but sorry - very bad 
magazine obtained. Can you change your mind, eh? 

   Really I did not like the magazine "Playboy # 3", smotrelka 
awful, and the texts ... hmm ... we can produce such a magazine 
even though Every day, PC'yuke such texts in bulk. And suddenly 
one day, they run out of that then. It is true to say that's 
pretty cool made menu selection of articles, you can take away 
the arrow windows anywhere on the screen. 

   But at the very last place, for me, is "ZX-Revue."
Migrated to the drives it has become less interesting. Although 
the authors try to improve it, but still they are very far from 
such monsters as ZF or SF. At 11-12 issue, we have not found 
anything new, but in the review of new programs and fro, 
completely "latest" prog "Digital Studio" and something else 
(can not remember) from the same "novya. 

   I've heard that Digital Reality also publishes a magazine 
"Scenergy", but I have not yet seen and not seen "Major Wares" 
(by CodeBusters). And nothing you say about them can not. 


   Let's now talk about newspapers. For me, the coolest of the 
newspaper is "Revival". This is a very large newspaper, in 
which You can find many interesting things, and I think all 
newspapers must be equal to it.


   Very good newspaper "RIP". There, too, can find a lot of 
useful information and network news from around the world 
Speccy. 

   But all the other newspapers that I saw, mostly network, 
which occupies almost the entire volume of Schedule BBS'ok etc.


   In our city, too, comes two newspapers, one of which you are
currently viewing. And another, which began to appear much
before our own, but now she just degradiruet.I nobody in Kovrov
does not see it because editor in chief, the person is so 
greedy, that it does not overwrite any of our surroundings. I 
appeal to a group of Proxima, which produces and this 
newspaper. Can you Change the editor, although knowing his 
nature, I am sure that he do not just go away. Just throw him 
out of it. Believe me, you are far away from them will not 
leave. 

   Well, about our paper I did not speak, do not judge me
naskolko it interesting and accessible to readers. In general 
please send us feedback about it that you would like to see it, 
etc. We will be glad to every letter.


   On this, let me finish this little tales about
electronic media. In this article, I only expressed my opinion
and if someone disagrees with me, well - I'll bet.
