  Hi everyone!

  I (DB) has recently merged with INTERNET'a very good humorous 
stories. Frankly, I lay laughing about the day two or three and 
now I suggest you do too - to read and haha catch the full 
program. Because many of them, you'll need stretch your 
pleasure on several issues of the journal. These stories you'll 
find under the heading From INTERNET. 

  Of course at Inter is much more what I'm willing to share with
you but I need to know that you are interested, and then there 
are so many things that I do not know what to write about.


  Now I would like to write a little about a recent article
of 3D accelerators. There is less correctly describes the 
function Axel, but I strongly disagree with the latter (and not

only) sub-paragraph of this article. Apparently whoever wrote 
this the article never seen docks on the Axel and voobshe does 
not represent, what it is. My drugan recently bought a 3Dfx and 
on CD with drivers are described in detail all the 
characteristics of all produced at a given time axels. And I 
ask the author come up to me and I'll give him this document. 
For example chipset VOODOO 2 Fastest! in the world today for 
performance allows cheat more than 7 million polygons per 
second. And if they put the two? A comparison with the Amiga 
(but for some reason you are not yet compare with CRAY'em) can 
be seen that the most powerful Axel Amiga inferior even VOODOO 
1, which provides up to 2.5 million polygons per second. And if 
you compare the price, then buy cheaper two! VOODOO 2, the axel 
to the Amiga. So my friends, choose themselves.


  Now I'm writing specifically for amigovtsev. You guys (and not
Once you have) nothing dirty vinduzu. The new version of 
WINDOWS 98 at altitude. I've used it a few months and she never 
buggy. At the same time when it is installed I just ran setup 
and after couple of clicks myshoy sat for about 30 minutes 
watching the installation completely without touching the clave 
and myshe. She identified and supplied drivers for all hardware 
(I was even surprised when she found a printer, though he was 
off, determined his model and even serial number). Just this 
version features a Winds very good graphic and musical 
arrangement, not counting improved multitasking and more. Bill 
Gates in this again rose to the occasion. And it seems to me 
that WINDOWS 98 is much steeper than any WorkBench on Amiga. 
The only drawback is the large amount of occupied space on the 
screw, is about 120 megabytes. 



  Just need to write about us, PC-Schnick, the more so for us,
except that we call ourselves, in BUZZ'e so far been nothing 
written was not. It should be a little bit again. 

  Digital Brain (sealed Roman) - coder, designer, gfxer

        Dark Lion (Yerik Paul) - coder, gfxer, gamer

    HexMaster (Bonded Alexei) - coder, musician, gfxer, gamer

           Pyrodex (Zhukov Pavel) - coder, algoritmist


  Digital Brain (I): I now plan to move the BUZZ on the PC 
platform, and find opportunities to do so, doing a little 
learning new languages for me (FOX-PRO); sometimes I sit and 
kodyu on ACME all the small stuff, a little earn additionally 
at his firm setting up a computer, installs software and the 
like; rarely sit in INTERNET'e (when there is a possibility and 
desire), a little paint render to those who ask, in particular 
screensaver that number BUZZ; manic carried away by music and 
songs scored polvinta in the format *. mp3.



  Dark Lion: at this time, do nothing and just spend time with 
different lamer for igratelstv in the most filthy games on a 
486-133MHz (from 10.00 to 18.00). 


  HexMaster (currently I (Hexmaster) tell myself): gAtovlyus to
dEAthmAtch'u in QUAKE (not to play nIlzya). VAAbsche, Vsev a 
little: games, gfx, music (thE pr0dIgY 'thE crYstAl mEthOd => 
rUlEzzz), trying to teach CE, sAbirayus to Moscow pAmAgayu 
vsyakim lamIram (NastraEvayu WINDOWS (unlike Dae Bae, my 
Windows # 98 is not sharpened pAnravElis, hAtya INTO something 
useful there appeared, but no Ano Tavo standing), uchYu them 
play, I put them Drivers, gAvorya other words, configure 
hardware), a little walk, and finally can-ta, I magician 
mn000go (If teaching). Previously kodil on Speccy, now I do not.

On AMIGO I think that's INTO: "Do not be so her praise. There 
is nothing supernatural, it does not. I saw her with Axel. As 
for her works DOOM'ovidnaya game (for those who do not know, 
I'll explain: DOOM on the PC looks much more three dimensional 
than the one game that I seen, not to mention QUAKE), not to be 
envied. Firstly for proper operation to set the screen size of 
a matchbook, despite the fact that the monitor is mnogodyuymovy 
TV. Second on the full screen is exposed only to the size of 
the point 2x2 pixel (in full screen mode is not even provided 
the size points in 1 piksel). Yes, 2D-games work very well, but 
3D ... In 3D games for PC AMIGO not keep up. All praise the 
sound on the Amigo. But if it mixes the hardware 4! channel, it 
is still normal, and if you have 8 or 16, the brakes are 
inevitable. Here is an example: you play in INTO something 
flowing channel (stereo) music, mixed the sounds of your hero 
(mono: moaning, sighs ... smells), but there ran vrag ... 
course I sound it must be stereo (he suddenly left or right) is 
where it all begins (and if the enemies of the 2, 3, 4 or 
finally can ... 5), and PC-gamer sits quietly and plays for 
QUAKE full screen with stereo sound. At the expense of sound 
quality a couple of words. I was not impressed by the sound of 
AMIGO nothing more than that, the best sound I heard on the PC. 
This AWE64. At the same AMIGO with Axel *. Mp3 (this is the 
format of digital music, which is very cool shrunk - from 70 
megs makes 3 and a half mega-quality CD, and the loss of 
quality in the 8 kHz mono will kil 300) works fine, if not 
running anything else and produce no manipulate the mouse (if 
any movement sound starts to stutter). On PC I ran the two and 
one *. mp3 *. avi (video file) and everything is fine employed 
(under WINDOWS'98). At AMIGO I liked the mouse (not design, but 
the smoothness of movement), although it lacks the third 
button. Some people think that INTO and the two last, but not 
in a hurry. When I I play QUAKE (without the mouse in such 
games can not play since turning 180 degrees on the keyboard 
will take more time, while turning the mouse takes a few 
hundredths of a seconds), then I use all three buttons. Draw 
conclusions. " My coordinates: 601909 Vladimir Region., 
G.Kovrov, Dimitrova, 33, kv.10, Alex. 


  Pyrodex: busy now coding cool effects for our new demuhi we 
probably expose on the nearest party. 



  For a while we were doing what looked demuhi and intruhi with 
ASSEMBLY'98. Some liked it, some do not. A generally most of 
them deserve attention. 

  By the way, we must congratulate our birthday, born in 
September - a Dark Lion (0Fh) and Pyrodex (1Dh) - and wish them 
further do no worse than it is now all that what they are doing

given time.


  Once read in BUZZ'e that are going to build software for 
Speccy and shove it on a CD. Supporting this idea, and having 
the opportunity, I can offer assistance in burning a CD. By the 
way, there is the possibility of a large circulation in the 
aluminum, which will cost about 10 rubles per disk. When a 
small number of copies - platinum or gold in cost about 17 - 20 
p. for platinum and 25 - 35 p. for the gold. 



  Now, about our plans for the future:

  I am now starting to write articles in the BUZZ with your 
permission. 

  I very much hope that the 16 number BUZZ will be released on 
PC, but 17 will definitely be. 


  Sincerely, Digital Brain.

   What about toys: they have to play because of postoyannog 
joining my friends who also are ardent fans of pc'shnyh games. 
I like all EI'shniki himself sometimes averse pogamitsya, but 
not longer than 5-10 minutes) 

   For the future: before you write anything about me, maybe 
it's worth ask me himself?
