           Hello, Nemo!


   As promised, sending copies of their
articles, plus one original paper. Except
that recorded on the disc format IS-DOS
(# 0A, # 0D) all the texts of articles. Actual content of 
articles, of course, no interest is, they have a lot of 
inaccuracies, exaggeration, but the fact that their output 
provides ground for thought.


   As for my coordinates. They can be
give the right and left in the Spectrum
environment. I am pleased to enter into the correspondence to 
exchange experiences, ideas, etc. regarding the development of 
Spectrum'a. That's all my coordinates:


   690078 Vladivostok, ul. Garden,
house N 25, Apt. N 51, Stanislav Yudin.

   Tel. Home (4332) 43-98-87, the difference
in time with Moscow is +7 hours,
ie When in Moscow, 12.00, 19.00 in Vladivostok.

   ZXNet: 500:4332 / 1


   In a personal meeting in August, we will contact you
discussed the possibility of assembling computers
KAY Vladivostok. Unfortunately, at this stage it is not 
feasible due to a number reasons, chief among which is the low 
demand. 


   Like I said in a telephone conversation with our club now 
has a room really small, but still room.

Put us up for the urban society of disabled people. And not 
only that we do not take money - we give them a little. We have 
set the club a Scorpio and 3 the Pentagon. Us in

Club presented three drive 3,5 "and a good
Winchester of IBM at 170 Mb, so we
now trying to fix the controller HDD,
which you kindly gave. While still
being organized, but it is planned
open a free club for children, where
We train them to work on the Spectrum and
programming, and simultaneously help purchase computers for 
everyone. Our the club seem to be interested in the mayor's 
office. A Today I went to a local television channels 
(Educational Television), a small canal, and the audience have 
It is small, but somehow come shoot us on Sunday.


   Well, actually, that's all. Goodbye.

                                       N.

                27.01.2000

              Dear N!


   1. Your letter was received by 12/11/1999.

   2. I really liked how you technically have implemented the 
transfer / forwarding articles. I think you yourself have felt, 
as it's convenient - to use one, it is easy

copied and edited a shell on
based ISDOS. Actually, this is one aspect of "technology of 
shells" (see the ZX-F, N I do not remember). The only purely 
technical note - the texts should be formatted along the lines 
(there is a formal procedure / utility in ISDOS).


   Your texts will be placed in the "Open
letters "for the current date edition in full. This is 
consistent with the interests of both (a) Nemo and Iskra-Soft, 
and the interests of Spectrum'a general. 

   As for the content of the same article - it's a moot point. 
Although the information is simple and unpretentious, but it is 
understood by all, which is not the correspondence (C) Nemo and 
Iskra-Soft. In addition, the demonstration of experience in 
print media will be useful to many groups in Spectrum'a

Russia (and beyond). Unfortunately,
ideological and conceptual level
unavailable overwhelming majority of users. 99% - it's encoders 
and hams. Organization and administration are not available in 
their understanding - they are looking for in the "Open letters 
"or" cooking recipes ", or specifications. Kind of "cosmic 
forces" were at 99% staffed by astronauts. Who will

send them into orbit, on which they
it will do - these questions are published is not specified. A 
sort of orbital group of astronauts.


   3.Vashi coordinates will be published
except for e-mail'a. In my opinion,
e-mail Spectrum-the audience is not needed. This
powerful transport channel, but no more.
In all other cases it is inefficient, at least economically. 
Except He is controlled by the United States and our

intelligence agencies. The latter is also not
happy because themselves are controlled by U.S. intelligence 
agencies. And since property management transitive, then it 
differs little from direct control. In fact, they are trying to

Now create such utter Great Chinese
wall (similar to "Maginot Line") in the computer space that is 
absolutely inefficient. I think that such a strategy and 
concept imposed on them in the form of the doctrine Americans. 
Furthermore, the Internet is likely to soon be engaged in 
"Westernization" of Russian culture. Will, probably, with a 
deep academic areas such as language arts (grammar) and 
mathematics, firing Dostoyevsky and a book on algebra in the 
form of comics. Such publication is very useful to facilitate 
the transition of the general population from the native 
Russian language into the native English. Looking for culture 
in Russia, State Department appointed Soros. In fact, he was

the portfolio of Minister of Culture of Russia. Soros
[American of Greek origin
equity of about $ 8 billion (which
not very consistent with the budget of its stock), a national 
hero in England (he's great, "lifted" the British pound, and 
then its "down" by setting exchange rate differences

in his pocket)], no doubt, will try to
to seize the main, basic resource
power - the culture. To conquer a country in our time does not 
necessarily seize its territory (as it leads to destruction of 
infrastructure) - enough to destroy a culture. Read

N. Wiener, there is chewed. Americans,
By the way, hush every way is the name under light vypihivaya 
Jupiter Media Shannon. That the building collapsed, it is 
enough to destroy its foundations. I do not think that has 
meaning to rinse the brains of users in these help. As my 
sister said Alyonushka Ivanushka brother: "Do not drink from 
the hoof - Become a kid. "Well, from the lovely

kozlyatochek then grow up already present
goats. Incidentally, China is well aware of (and in Belarus as 
well) - it was introduced a ban on the use of Windows in state 
institutions (in China). 

   4. It does not matter that the assembly of KAY'ev
Vladivostok is currently impossible
- Not the last day of living. The situation may
and change. Mass psychosis sooner or
late finish sobering.

   5. Money must be obtained from the users. It is clear that 
they will not like it. They can not, and do not have to look 
beyond their own nose. If You get money from, sooner

or later they will have to work for
account of these most users, "omitting"
them. Because "Delete" them in the material
plan is no longer possible, will be offered
options for their descent into the mental-spiritual realm. 
Because people (user) finds his identity by a constant (due to

identity, which itself is subject to change), it is with 
pleasure it will go, not realizing that sold his soul,

- For it is an abstract category, not linked to the contents of 
the purse. In fact this can be done

money - there are appropriate technologies. I think that's the 
point next frauds Soros. He who pays the piper calls the tune. 
If you will pay a user, you will develop its interests, if the 
uncle - the uncle's interests, which is usually directly 
opposed to the interests of users. 

   As for the mayor's office, then to such contacts should be 
treated cautiously. In my opinion, you can take - as

and accepted in the church - only unconditional
Donations, which without any reservations and preconditions. 
The point that not only stick, but the carrot is a management 
tool. Support always, sooner or later leads to control. 
(Control - Eng. - Management, DO NOT MUST hierarchical.) 
GB-Schnick Korshunov in his time this way, "Regulated" rock 
clubs in SP-B. She currently works in the administration of our 
governor and in charge of culture. Rock clubs, becoming a 
mongrel of education, gradually collapsed. Similar technology 
is "stick" was used after May 1968 in France. The state is so 
debased and profaning the underground that he dissolve in shame.


   6. IBM hard drive will work with
controller with a probability of "Fifty-fifty", ie 0.5. 
Explained in detail. When posed a conceptual challenge for the 
development of hardware IDE-driv'a, the priority property / 
parameter controller implies its simplicity, both architectural 
and circuit design and technology. This is a most worthwhile - 
the controllers were very cheap, with good - by elemental 
simplicity of the scheme - reliability. However, they are not 
running on All screws. It's not a bad thing, as it may

seem at first glance, but a plus. Explain why. The price of 
IDE-driv'a now laid and the price support program, and

is regular payments. Because copyright
law is not adhered to, then develop and promote soft OS' (which 
requires money) can be just having a stable source of funding. 
On the other hand, as a "secret" scheme (or set PAL to protect) 
our own peril, because it reduces the maintainability and makes

advance (as you write software under
"Black box"?). Using the same incomplete
Compatibility was "cut off" freeloaders. Just sell the 
controllers is meaningless because screw (which usually gets 
"for free" on the occasion, or just "Pulls" from work) may not 
be suitable, and CLAIMS it, ie, Commercial bummer

pirate of the apparatus. Sell ​​the same with the hard drive 
freeloader can not, because requires a serious structure with 
working capital, marketing channels and supply channels screws 
particular type, the probability of connection which 100%. Ie 
creates an opportunity to get profit and reinvest it in OS'. By 
the way, the type of Winchester - CONNER. Therefore, the 
incompatibility - a highly technological protection against 
theft. And do not think that (with) Nemo do not know how to 
make 100% compatible with all the screws. But all that can be 
done should be done. When the audience learns to pay for the 
software - not before - it can be done.


   7.Na my opinion, should not teach
only and not programming
much understanding of what computer
in general, its place in the world, the concept of the platform 
concept, ideology, production problems, ie necessary academic 
preparation based on the Wiener, N. Wirth, I. Prigogine. Then 
these blind puppies - in term - will "prosratsya and Gates, and 
IBM. 

   It is necessary concepts Should Know any user. For 
programmers, in my opinion, it is necessary additionally to 
teach Latin and Sanskrit (as examples of ancient generators 
culture grammars - they will learn English by Soros). With a 
view to a person understands what praxis is different from the 
know-how (and even different at all?) Than the logo is 
different from the revelation (And also, why was introduced by 
contrast). Requires deep mathematical background (with an 
emphasis on algebra and not on analysis and probability theory 
") that would allow them to not only see the characters, but 
and contemplate their corresponding images in despite their 
structural completeness. Good idea would introduce the subject 
of scholasticism and theology (so that they understand that 
some approval of the Sakharov no more

than the private investigation of the maxims of Bl. Augustine).

   Well, this is so - dreams. Medieval
obscurantism. Yet fully aware
that we live in an age of humanism, the Enlightenment
and progress, and we are not ancient edict. Therefore, it is 
necessary to study only the programmer. 

   8.Dumayu, in the limit in the "Open letters"
informative volume will be distributed
as follows:

   1 / 3 - ISDOS; 1 / 3 - (c) Nemo (letters,
advertising); 1 / 3 - sided information.

   Editorial shell will be
on key dates, and the oldest files in the
"Open letters" will be withdrawn from the current
"0 th" shell and entered into the archive:
"-1" - The number of shells.

                                (C) Nemo.

P.S. I'm here for the interest raised archive (for
my opinion - GB-shny by samizdat in
Russia until the early 90 inclusive). Here
what was written about the samizdat journal
"Game", were published in Sovetskaya Gavan
(Khabarovsk Territory):

   "The bird - a local rock 'Association
includes more than 900 members. Distant
East, Yakutia, Sakhalin, Kamchatka - almost
politich. party, fuck. "

   I take the IS-DOS in the spring of 1998.
Version 4.5. Very easy to use text editor. Viewer too. 
Especially like the conversion of texts in MSDOS and back. 

   Interested in new version of the IS-DOS, and
also computer KAY.

   And I would like to know whether the trading
You have software for the Spectrum than IS-DOS.

              Dear N!


   Software, we do not sell, please contact
firms that are engaged. An exception is the software contained 
in price list. Probably in the near future

directory supplemented membranes.

           Hello, Nemo!


   Your address, I took out the electronic journal "Sp. Expert" 
(1998). I live in the province, where the guide and news in the 
world Spectrum reach only with difficulty. However,

something I still learn from others in Saratov (strictly 
speaking, Expert I got from him). I speak here this computer

a year, something that I can, know something, but
much to be desired. I would like to have
any connection with other spektrumovtsami.

   I understand the deal with this
request to you, at least impolite, but still if you or someone 
from Your acquaintances, friends, and not abandoned

Spectrum, answer me, I would be very him
grateful.

   Sorry to bother you, if something
not so.

                          Sincerely, N.


                               01.02.2000


              Dear N!


    Unfortunately, the correspondents to contact me about the 
"what-ever relationships with other spektrumovtsami, do not 
give instructions / permissions explicitly to publish their 
e-mail coordinates. Therefore, interchange is impossible. In 
this case you also were no exception. None However, in the 
"Open letters" have a few addresses.


                                (C) Nemo.

      Hello, dear Nemo!


   Received the order a CD for the GS, thank you very much, but 
I ask one drive replaced (Head Ball), as he ceases to be loaded 
after the inscription: 128 k Ram D. Active (for reference: I 
have a Scorpion Turbo +), may be the thing that This game was 
used on your other machine? 

   I also want to make another reservation
(Money 90 p. Posted 28/01/2000). Composition
Ordering: Black Raven-2 (and if possible, send COD disc
Support GS or write, how much to send money).

    And a few more questions:

   1. At one of the discs were sent there
Company Directory Welcome to GS, is it possible to
order them directly from you,
albeit with some delay, specify a price
(And their CDs to send to record possible?).

   2. Do not have any information on the journal "Spectator"? 
And then Money sent another 08/04/1999, later received a letter 
that the output is delayed by prosaic reasons, and this is 
passed six months, and no information is available, as well as

journal itself.

   I look forward to full implementation
previous order (two videos).


                          Sincerely, N.


                               02.02.2000


              Dear N!


   1. Head Ball drive is replaced. I have a game
do not use, I played enough yet in the 90 th year. As for
suppliers floppy Head Ball, they will be made aware that this 
game is for some reason does not go on board Scorpion Turbo +. 
Generally it is quite probable cause, because almost all groups 
in St. Petersburg that something real made from soft'a, sitting 
on KAY'yah. On Scorpion'ah sit usually those who think

what they are doing something real. Generally,
This claim relates primarily to
author of the game - and must ask it to
him. The diskette has to These authors - in particular, its 
coordinates (e-mail and phone). If these data are not 
available, then sponsors, withdrew its responsibility for

program, and it shall be spread
under free ware - that is, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

   2.Po about the order. Your letter of complaint, the disc 
received 02/02/2000 Translated yet been received. FT-2 has not 
yet emerged, and when released - unknown. Your order can be 
issued as a subscription - but it is advisable that you read 
the terms of the refund if the CV-2 will not be released within 
a reasonable period for you. 

   3. Games for the GS will be available in the near future
time ordering through (c) Nemo, because
has a contract with the manufacturer GS-boards. Business for 
small - print subdirectory. In the near future it will

done.

   4. Actually for us Welcome. I
No relevant agreement with his grandfather
Wellcome, so I do not have any
information about its activities, the range of offered products 
/ services, working conditions and details. Apply directly to 
the Welcome, - for the consequences of your contacts with 
Welcome'om I do not carry any responsibility.


   5. Send your discs does not make sense. Price of the 
property titles in soft'e negligible. The exceptions are Drives 
3,5 ". But I think you yourself refuse this idea, because 
discount (see price list), only 3 cu per disc

(Ie about 10 rubles. On 02.02.2000,
K = 3.2). It only makes sense when you order wholesale 10/05 
discs at once. (Yes, and then only if the drives gratis,

ie seamless).

   6. Any information on the journal
Spectator do not have - they are not me
report to, and even more so there is no corresponding 
agreement. In addition, distribution of software - it's not my 
function, and firm distributors of software. So the question is

the wrong address. Generally interested
should be in the place where to send money
as in this area entails responsibility. Money is probably not 
expelled just so, and under any of their obligations?


   7. Videotapes are not yet available from
Company Logros, although they are made aware of ordering. 
Moreover, it has been done yet and a reminder about the order. 

   8. ZX-F N 9 is also not yet released.

                                (C) Nemo.

P.S. Videotapes with a resolution to a single copy:

     obtained from the firm Logros 16.02.2000.

        Given up on 02/19/2000.

       Obtained by copying the 20/02/2000.

   Packing / dispatch of parcels 21.02.2000.
