   Hello, Nemo!

   I ask you to send the price list with a correction factor, I 
want to order a You General Sound.


   Can I use this method of payment: I will pay 60% of product 
cost and the balance COD. 

   Self-addressed envelope expelled.


   Dear N.!


   Pay a portion is in principle possible,
but it is unlikely you are satisfied with conditions:

   You can pay 60% ahead, but the remaining 40% will pay extra 
25% wrapping at a rate of at the time of reference, ie with the 
growth factor  32%.


   Total:

       0.6 +0.4 * 1.32 = 1.13, ie GS
more expensive by 13% (and then in the case
If the buck does not surprise skaknet).

   X-Trade, like any other Spectrum-firm does not provide trade 
credit. So I will lend you. Percentage of monstrous - but 
negotiable funds itself is not enough. Therefore, usually

of such proposals is denied without
comments so as not to irritate the customer. Try to borrow 
money on the spot, I think you it will be cheaper. 

P.S. Self-addressed envelope to make
is not necessary - read carefully
price list. Why, understand themselves, investing
brand, rather than an envelope.

       Dear N.!


       First. From your letter it is not clear
Have you got the program and Mortal Vombat
CV (they were sent a letter of
03/03/1999). Your silence on this issue
will be considered as a confirmation of receipt of these 
programs. Further, the payment was made in full and no claims

in this regard I have for you there. But your
claim is considered justified.
The computer was sent with a delay of 5
months. For its part, can offer
the following: 1) Can provide the basis
compensation for any names (for
price list) in the amount of $ 100 Order
letter, without payment or without payment. 2)
during the year (more, nobody knows what
will be) you can order any items on a price for an amount not 
exceeding 500 cu (In excess of $ 100 p.1). Order letter

Without payment, payment on delivery.

necessary I can also act as a legal entity. General Well, I

       Dear Captain (Sir, Comrade?) Nemo!
 Recently, I came upon a "ZX-Format-6"
and, although this information is obsolete,
I'm interested in your book review GI Puchalski and T. J. 
Novoseltseva "Digital devices" - sometimes very trying 
something blind. Can we now once I get it? If yes, please,

Please conditions for its acquisition. Also
send catalog software. My return address on
envelope.

       With respect to you, N.



       Dear N.!


       Since by its true nature
I'm nobody, it is equally well respond
any social attachment-handling.
By the way, very convenient.

       As for the book, the edition is, of course, is already 
sold out. I made inquiries at the publishing house - no 
residue. So anything with a book can not help. You once

already very late in order. In the price list for this position 
has also been removed.

   Hello, Nemo!


   Wrote to you N. from Omega Hackers Group
from the city of Rostov-on-Don. He has been
month trying to write to you - yes all
somehow there was no time. And then two days
before the exam in higher mathematics in the 12 nights that 
decided to write about. You probably We know, for example, 
newspaper Don News or on our newest game Leprekon, and

also in our 4-channel muzredaktoru Vetra Sonic. Well met.
In Rostov, we do business with Spectrum developed after the 
crisis fairly well. The people looked at the Spectrum in very 
different eyes. If the PC prices have risen more

than 4 times, then on the Spectrum is not more
than 2 times. People actively buying
Spectrum - mostly Pentagon'y, and why? - Yes, because it was 
under him fiksetsya (?) and writes most of our

software. We in the city is only one point on
Sales of programs - it's Vladimir Spashko.
The price of one floppy disk in his 15 p. Novem he
achieved quite well - for Fido
a lot of downloads, licensing program
orders, something we have finally gotten to him. I
study at RGU - Rostov State
University. There we have Freestuff yield on the Internet. That 
shake nove and communicate with all Spectrum world. To finish a 
new version of our page in Internet'e. Her address is: 

 http://www.uic.rnd.runnet.ru/ ~ dkozhevn /


   Also soon be on it to get
a shorter address:

 http://ohg.da.ru/.


  So if that visit.


   Hehe, that's all I'm not just saying so.
Look it up yourself - the firm is the Scorpion
own page, with Peters - also, as you
no - because it will not work. So I want to
on their page to open the section of your
firm. There will always be, and
update your price list and information on how to contact you. 
Well my suggestion to you? It is time to establish cooperation 
between you and us. I would like to learn - you have a phone 
and Fido-address or e-mail you have? This is to quickly and 
efficiently You can chat with you. So write.



   We've got your Demon is going to KAY fly, so I'm from you 
need a complete (full) price list your prices for all! Your 
products. Then I'll want more ordered from you - so we 
nuzhenobyazatelno your price list, which will also be 
constantly on my page in Internet'e, and will also be printed in

our newspaper, Don News and in our magazine
Mad Brozer, editor in chief of whom I
began a few days ago. The magazine makes a Joker that's been a 
whole year, and little help, here's another and Mistic - former

Editor in Chief, has ceased to be, but
because all these are now in charge of me,
I think in the near future to complete
magazine. Well, and now my configuration
wheelbarrows: Pentagon 512 kb + +, turbo on the processor and 
the SH loop drive on the controller, Kesh 16 kb, Port # FF, AC 
3-89-12, Kempston joystik, Gigascreen, moderator

processor, 512 pixels horizontally
multiviewer. In the very near future I will have - Kempston 
mouse - from the company Great Sot (ordered from Peter, I have

long lies, but for one reason there is not
connect time), videodigitayzer, soundrive, ADC, light pen, the 
second AU-quadro Sound, 1 meter of RAM (at RU7)

ROM disk - 1 meter, Winchester (by the way,
controller with your propeller would like to order
from you), 128 colors (use
FLASH), and just a huge pile of all
different hardware (hardware and multicolor
etc. etc.). Imagine how many
I already have wires. Although I am payal everything myself
and for myself - anyway - some wires occasionally cling to the 
legs, etc. and it is clear that this leads to visyukam. Plus

to this I still have about 15 switches (yet) - The total number 
will be brought to 20 and further and imagine yourself as a 
cool look - the second keyboard, as the Demon. I also have 2 
flopp'a - 5.25 and 3.5 (time to buy - to rise in price, and 
that prices are now as much [.. Censored ..]). And to be honest 
- sometimes annoying that all the bells and whistles necessary 
to sculpt himself - well, okay, I do, but not everyone can make 
it. Again, the same KAY or Scorpion - there places to get a 
soldering iron and bring a wheelbarrow to their needs by the 
thousand, and this in turn again imposes a large imprint on the 
quality of machine operation. Yes good idea to slots

- But they are few - only 3 pieces, but we need
that was at least not less than 5. Yes,
question immediately arises - do not pull percent.
Naturally, so that no abrupt buffer
there is not enough. By the way, you do not think
I have a board disfigured, everywhere all the
ugly. Quite the contrary - all very nice and civilized (I give 
great importance to the beauty of the installation). I scored 
all the free space on the system connector and a half from free 
on a disk - so that when board broke down - just disconnect it 
and carry in repair - and not have to wear the system unit. And 
so, I came from a conversation - that's how I want to do - or 
rather pick up some of the most cumbersome

bells and whistles to his wheelbarrow. So, I understand some of 
the schemes simply need mounted on the motherboard (eg 512

points), since all the connections, but they happen a lot, 
fluster directly to the board, it is clear that Soundrive such 
a way to pick up. So So I bought a packet fee soldered there 4

Built SPN on the 64 contact - it I
make the buffer (from Sinclair Expert'a # 2
By the way, it makes it to him - and
time are sorely lacking) and to
then it will cling all the bells and whistles,
mouse and the ROM-disk - so all right in the board itself will 
be inserted. So that all looks cool. Yet it is a problem - 
membrane keypad - is the second dies (Need to put a buffer, a 
better course of HT put (I think you have ordered, yes I

sort of like saying that supposedly buggy prog with
therein). Now, at the expense of General Sound - I was 
collecting money for her, but now the crisis - its price has 
risen sharply and is now worth in full with ammunition shipment 
- about things - it is very expensive. I know that names with 
chips already can not be erased, but from this is not easier - 
there is no scheme anyway, and what was on the details such 
that he so expensive. We have such money

2 can be fully assembled computer
buy (sometime in 1200 will be released). And
troubles are any at all GS arise - it's
I do not know why.


   In short, it's time to end - waiting on you
full price list, as well as your consent for advertising in 
Internet'e and our electronic editions.



   By the way, you do not sell the firmware to the chip RT11 
(at Kempston mouse, which worth), and then you never know will 
die, and firmware No, well, or I would have bought 2 pieces of

21.05.1999 Welcome, N!


   I have read your letter. Not
I know where to begin. I'll try to order in the text. Likely to 
encounter problems in the sense that: but what could it be? - 
Yes nothing can be done - a copy of something certainly not 
been removed from your letter. 


   1. According to your program I do not
know, - And this is not my diocese. Engaged in this Logros. I 
do hardware, or more precisely, its production. And without 
software zamorochek enough ...



   2. About rising prices - for domestic goods prices in 2 
times - this involuntary, limited, minimal

growth. Actually they are more expensive. Ie nowhere to go, 
they will be more expensive. More correct approach would be to 
compare not prices of MS and Spectrum'a, and their real 
(consumer) content. If it suddenly y Spectrum'a will be 
greater, it will not okay, if Spectrum is

more expensive than the PC. In the meantime, the situation is 
reversed. Public - if she is concerned of course development 
Spectrum'a, and not monstrostroitelstvom and voluptuous 
vivisection (Mutilation) of its own components - need to think 
about how to make more Spectrum useful in the form in which it

is, ie make it more useful for
ordinary user. Moreover, the use
should be in service companies,
and not in the dubious pleasures of his
becoming a heaped bullshit. Then
You can update the fleet and to develop
architecture. Yet homegrown gadgets
one crooked and never will be supported by software. Ie 
rukosuystvo as self-mutilation, but rather harmful than

helpful. The same thing that swim in rubber boots - tedious and 
inconvenient. 


   So I do not want a representative
in the Internet, - I have them. This is only possible if you
sell my cars in Rostov-on-Don, or try to adjust their 
production ( See "Export Technology). Then the appropriate

price-list, but no more. Why entertain
free people paying money overseas. It also means free on 
batrachit Uncle Sam. Quality of consumer companies

determined by the content and that it
worth the money, not the glands and shemki. Here
Let the Americans and entertain its users. English. And Russian,
by the security officer to recruit dupes, comrade Soros. No
no yes and smahnet a "user"
Spectrum'a in Internet'e, sitting on
RS-ke, mean crocodile tears - oh, die Sptctrum, oh die - well, 
Ljubo expensive watch. "But we can not ..." he added otstegnet 
denezhek at IBM. AND all together to lament Spectrum'u - and

Detach the aggregate (as reliably as does America - Bucks again 
the same - not progadala ...), - and never our longer

able.


   Another thing Spectrum'ovskie magazines
that you release, and newspapers. There is ready
help. This is a real consumer content Spectrum'a. If your 
publication freewar'nye, I can help with distribution. If on 
the author - contact Logros'om (address in the price list). Can

publish in their journals any of the
"Open letters". Specifically provided for - but not in
Internet! Internet'om can and should enjoy using it as a 
transport structure to a level not higher than UNIX. Preferably 
in a compressed form, so as not to interfere. 


   Ie rukosuystvo as self-mutilation, it is reprehensible. Does 
not come as you scratch the idea of ear with a screwdriver, so 
why should you poking around in computer? - soldering iron? 
Common sense indicates that the head of that work better will 
not. In fact, although this is less Obviously, the complex of 
picking a soldering iron also better will not work. In addition,

there are plenty of consumer electronics
the possibility of its improvement - ranging from a tape 
recorder (there may be head twist) to the TV (there is a

loop drive - shook again, we can then
twist the rest of your life). Truly,
inexhaustible field of activity: - bugs
on the screen will be varied and impressive, right down to the 
finest. A You can, for example, make a black and white

Colour TV. It is clear that it needs to have a particularly 
hard-nosed - well Yes Spectrum'istam it does not hold - Hobbies

as in any way.


   3. Try contacting your Vladimir
Spashko our Logros'om, - and also make sure that they comply 
with copyright right, just as you are to observe them.



   4. Most of those people that are on the Internet as 
Spectrum'isty, they are not. Spectrum'ist - is USER Spectrum'a. 
A user RS-ki in Internet'e - it is NOT YOU

Spectrum'a. There is a difference, difference, try to catch it. 
Most of these people are engaged in idle Trepov,

only clogging up the noise communication channels. They pay 
money into the IBM (t.e.v USA) where they hope and support - 
and for them to Spectrum triple shit. Engage in Spectrum'om

PC (not professionally, ie, for money, and
as a user) the noble task of the firm IBM / Geyttsa / USA to 
transform Russian users of Internet / IBM / Geyttsa / USA

(A 4 projection of the same object
on vectors in the control system mass
consciousness made in USA), first in fools
and then, the most distinguished in their
stupidity - already a complete idiot. They
made a choice now for the rest of them
made American technology. They have nothing else to do - only 
to unfasten money, lower arms and baldet. By the way,

encoding is also not necessary. Otherwise, you will begin
create jobs, not real
sector, not in the field of information technology Spectrum'a, 
and FAPSI. Let the worship, they will be useful. 


   5. Now explain why Scorpion'e and Peters'e is Internet-page,
I have not. Scorpion and Peters - is a company engaged in the 
RS-kami. Spectrum'om these firms are no longer involved (well, 
except in the sense that it involved his profanity). Spectrum 
for them - it's like such a big carrot - to goats

beckon. Typically, in computer geeks call them lamers. Since 
the product involve only the advertising function;

expenses deducted under ad
expenditure on sales promotion RS -
what: real consumer content
these products is zero, and they never did do any good. Made
they are made of papier-mache and put on display
and on page Internet'a. The page itself,
namely, its content, is also included in
selling price of RS. Since the RS-kami, I do not
tendering, the turnover is insufficient to page content on the 
Internet. Yes and no reason. But as tools, ie capital involved 
in the Spectrum'e, he substantially less than the means Scorpion

and Peters'a in turnover of RS-ers. And much more than the 
advertising costs for dummies Scorpion'a and Peters'a together. 
Since the concern is real production of components, the money 
it requires more than making a few plaster casts. In addition, 
the page needs support networks. In Scorpion'e, for example, as 
much as 4 clerk sitting in Spectrum'ovskoy echo to fit properly 
manage Trepov users (now 3). In

Peters'e - one - Ivan Mac, but it is worth four. He can "load" 
the correspondent of architectural subtleties and hexadecimal 
tsifiryu that fact as much pereklinivaet. And we think that 
user: "Yes, it's true yellow pants, three Since the times, but 
... Here they are. cool information technology. "It's really 
region of high information technologies, but rather limited and 
not directly related to the case. Namely advertising support, 
ie hanging noodles (brainwashing, which consists in

playing a special mental
suggestive of tricks associated with perekantovkoy 
correspondent in special position, in which the purchase is 
imminent). 


   6. Communication channels, Internet addresses,
Fido - it's only for the dealers; Spectrum-firms, joint 
projects, and "technology exports". For the rest -

epistolary genre. Those who write letters,
sometimes pay money. With internet correspondents until such a 
miracle did not happen even once. They do not need my 
computers. Well, why do I communicate it? It's for

I work. Academic tutor for an hour
in St. Petersburg is 50 rubles. Why do I have for their
account to remove from their ears that noodles
neveshali them in editions for Dummies by
MS, for which they have and the money paid? Let them now try to 
address this noodles. The case, incidentally, very difficult and

time-consuming.


   7. What about your car. Bad yourself
imagine the look of your shed with
outbuildings. In technology, beauty - it
embodied expediency. I did not imagine the problem, which would 
have been advisable Your PC. After all, buggy vain - 
Perenavorochena design, architecture certainly conflict (20 
toggle switches, but should probably not to buggy, 100). Try to 
reasonably explain the meaning of this tricked. In a computer 
main parameter - No meter memory and not performance

processor and not a point on the screen - and reliability. 
Wires in a computer does not it should be - they are very much 
lower reliability. By the way, ISDOS certainly be

buggy. And it's not in Bobbin
(Ie not ISDOS'e), and that the dunce sitting in the cockpit. 
Reliability OS'i sensitive to the architectural distortions. It 
is clear that you can flip through the dials. But every switch 
cuts off part of Architecture, and hence makes it unnecessary, 
impractical. Transforms part of the company in the ballast. I 
guess You do with the computer (KAY'em). It is very

sad. The only thing what I can to make you happy, so it is that 
as soon as You touch a soldering iron company, then immediately

lose the guarantee and the ability to change
fee on the next version, this will bude. Understand the 
computer - is a tool designed for a specific job, and it is 
assumed that work on it, and not above it. If the PC does not 
fit the problem, then need another PC or reformulation of the 
problem. If you need a pickaxe, crowbar and shovel, it is 
pointless stick a shovel and pickax for scrap. Work will be 
inconvenient, but the work itself will be unproductive. This is 
one reason Why the PC to the wheels is not in Russia. He claims 
to be a pick and a crowbar and a shovel. 


   8. Well, what about slots I omit - is
one hundred and first way to turn a PC into a barn: my own 
memorial dope master. Let me explain it another way.

That is, suppose we have the AK - a Kalashnikov rifle. 7.62 mm. 
It seems to be in accordance with the concepts of progress the 
next version should be at least 9 mm (and even all 12!). And 
done some reason 5.45. Turned out to be less is more. Next. 
Grenade launcher for? By your logic, of course. We hang up. 
Reticle rangefinder do you want? Trailers. Bayonet? Please. Long

in a pair of horns? On health. Silencer?
Screwed. Great, right? And now
march 10 km. In order to understand the rules
choice. And in the evening the guard (2 hours all
That fool hangs on your shoulder). This, too, for
awareness of human choices. And in the guard will feel 
uncomfortable. Grenade launcher is nice, but effective still 
cause a guard by shooting through the muffler. With regard to 
computers, this logic seems inapplicable. But it is only at 
first glance. Every moment of his active work PC will consume 
some of your attention with its extra dials (and if everything 
is included? A Do not forget what?). To render their

Action perenavorochennom competent to every moment count and 
scroll through a lot of unnecessary architectural limitations 
(and this rapid decline in health - environment is not 
comfortable - rusty nails in my head like no). Need all

time, every time to pull this stuff in
own head. A mental distress is no better than physical. Not 
better whether to have a simpler but more comprehensible

architecture and concentrate entirely on
Problem? Complex, and even more so it does not Spectrum
race car formula one for the record runs.
This is a workhorse. Easy and quick-witted.


   Spectrum issues and unique that it
only nenavorochenny Comp. Comp
not crippled commerce. Which is perfect, and amazingly simple 
as a tool for primitive, non-professional tasks that very often 
there specifically for Home computer'a. But no,

audience his very welling, bringing to
Absurd.


   9. 512 points. Spectrum initially
(Ie, as a concept, ideology) was designed for TV. This is the 
foundation. Connection display to Sptctrum'u absurd. This is 
contrary to all logic architectures. This is not Spectrum 
Spectrum. This deadlock way. It leads nowhere. from the 
TV-screen can not refuse. This is the Spectrum.



   10. I do not recommend you to discuss prices
manufacturers - it's completely empty and
blank for you to talk. On
Actually the price is sitting not in detail, they -
garbage penny. Without knowing
turnaround time, the structure of expenditures on
capitalization of the largest overhead, the
percentage of maintenance and advertising costs,
can not talk about cost, and so
more about the price. This is a conversation about anything
just empty talk. As meaningless to compare the prices of the 
components of the garbage bin of newly produced models. I can, 
for example, sell the components to 400 p., (another thing that 
consumer filling machines will fall), but as a result of this 
will lead not to an increase otryud my sales (and if he will, 
then a minor), and the fact that in the trash fly old computer 
Spectrum'a, park diminish, and everyone in Spectrum'e (and 
especially users) going to get worse. Why is it necessary? Your 
ideas about tsennobrazovanii primitive. There are plenty of 
other considerations, okromya sebestoimsti. By the way, 
accurately determine the cost fees for existing volumes almost

impossible - they are too small for the accounting.


   11. By RT-4 is hollow. Try to find non-working controller 
... RT-4 is generally a terrible hemorrhoid. I think it was an 
American diversion in the electronic industry. 


   12. To the body "Corvette." I can send
(3 buildings - not less - for 450 rubles. May and
2, but for 400). Too zamorochnaya
reference.


   13. About pererazvodki Pentagon'a.
I think it would be more expensive than
KAY-1024 - at least in production. Pentagon is netehnologichen. 
Think about the "export of technology." (See "ZX-F" № 7 (may 
8?)) 


   14. As for the video card. I have a bias to all the gadgets, 
not supporting the Spectrum-resolution. This is the evil one. 
Especially if it is suspended on snot. All in St. Petersburg, 
who makes the periphery, have taken this "snotty" period, and 
they ate their fill. Now if the man himself can not connect the 
GS, for example, he said something like: "Or buy machine with 
slots, or look for a man who is hung on the "snot" ("snot" to 
the connector, otherwise you will lose warranty). 


   15. 10 pcs. AY type can not - a rare earth element. Book by 
parts, pieces of 2, upon receipt disburse.
