                                03/12/2001.


                Hi, Nemo!

:) Let me start this letter by saying sorry for
previously written a letter, asking forgiveness
for using foul language. I need to clarify the situation and 
why I had to swear in my last letter. 

1. I began to swear, because ended
my patience - tired of waiting for a computer ...

2. Now I'll tell about their activities
on the ZX-Spectrum, and that's why I'm tired
wait. Began in the year since the 92 th. Then I went to school 
in seventh grade. I saw once I have my old school friend

comp - it was the "Leningrad-48K" Wu ZS (Zonovskaya assembly). 
Then I burst into flames. Without thinking twice begged my 
parents to they bought me the same and they bought

or rather I choose. You could choose two
option or "Bean-48" or "Leningrad-48". I opted for "Leningrad". 
Took out the cassette copied games sistemki, but it did not 
last very long. Acquainted with my best friend (now of course 
he is my best friend). Anton Zverev, I learned that he too is 
Spectrum. At that time he had "INTER-48", but with a disk 
controller (or rather it was a "spade" and not the controller, 
brought his father from Saint-Petersburg) and drive 5'25.


A month later, his father bought him a radio beam
in Khabarovsk "the Pentagon - 128 + +." Here I
and finally caught Spectrum'om.

Having bought himself at radiobalke controller, drive, music. 
processor and a new power supply, I perfected his "Leningrad" 
to more than "kind of computer" 6 You imagine what it was for 
the computer - motherboard + Controller + AC-8910

+ PD + drive + harnesses fluoroplastic
wires.

I became a bad draw in the ART-STUDIO, became interested in 
programming and breaking program, and so on Adaptation and say 
nothing. But then a year since the 95 th beginning to appear 
more and more 128-x games sistemok and more Russian program.

You should have seen my surprise when I saw the first issue of 
"ZX-Formata". I realized that on such a machine for a long time 
I did not survive " (Literally). Save money, I

went to the radio market in Khabarovsk. There I
bought a used ushny Scorpion-256. I'm
became stronger and stronger "sink" into the sea
software, games - in a word - I love speccy!!! But this herd 
(although which side view), 97 th they took me into the army

and I went with serve for the date. The idea of
Speccy I did not leave and I ordered
his price list in LOGROSe (this is my first
letter), I learned about new developments -
GS, XTR-MODEM, etc. In the spring of 99 th and I retired the 
first thing I repaired my Scorpion, because He began zaginatsya,

rather just bent, not long before my
coming home. Hanging Coxox, I started
enjoy the music. Ordered you
"ZX-Format", started programming. Summer
2000 I have another "grunt" Comp.

At this time the cause of failure was
simple - microcrack paths. Restoring the Scorpion, I went to 
Khabarovsk and looked into the INTERNET. I downloaded a bunch 
of new software, games and music, come home. but

enjoy novem me a long time was not necessary, because again, 
failure, and this time and microcracks. A week later, still 
alone and another and another, in short, Comrade. Mesons and

did not think that will happen to his board through
a couple of years. Cannot that the PCB is dry and has begun the 
inevitable agony of microcracks. We had to spec. varnish

cover.

3. I started to think about where to buy a computer
or a firm or a Scorpion Nemo, because radio market in 
Khabarovsk and flooded Rski TV - rossypuhi sellers. Ordered the

price list for Zonova and you. Began to compare prices and 
where a complex (in the sense of what is better). But from 
Zonova came not only price list, but also a stack of papers 
with directories, but still a lot of money and for 1998. I 
again looked into the company through the Scorpion INTERNET, 
and what I see out there. Advertising on that they have low 
prices, etc. etc. But Zonov and then miscalculated - ha, ha, ha.

.. The price of the motherboard has remained the same in U.S. 
dollars, but here's the paradox Scorpion 25-256 + 142 cu .... 
(Motherboard), but what is the cu - 27.52 (if memory serves), 
and in fact it is even more than $ 1. It turns out that the 
Scorpion is more expensive than Pentium-133; Did Zonov where 
here meaning: 

1. I can buy cheaper Nemo same
Speccy

2. Speccy anyway once extinct

3. And the owners Rsyukov more

4. At Pentyuhe possible and under the emulsion is not bad
work.

So I had to order a KAY.

And opportunities for KAY'ya more. Main
made smarter. But more on that below. But I had to wait long 
for receiving the order and I do not endured, he began to punch 
(yes, ... only zasrat brains Nemo) brains.


The explanation for this one - three months of sitting
without the Speccy, because Scorpion recover
it's like a needle in a haystack to find. So
I did not "imaginary user!

Now we understand with LOGROS'om. "Send
I have to podale "it would be quite" globally. "ordered himself 
as a price list for You came to me more and list prices of 
games and software programs from companies LOGROS: 

Game Logs

UFO ZX-Format

Star Heritage OBERON

Field of Dreams

Winnie the Pooh

Here is a sample list, unfortunately, it does not
preserved.

At the time I repaired my Scorpion and
not to be lost time in vain, he ordered
his ZX-Format for 15 euro + Translation =
18. .. In the price was indeed such
prices: in rubles rather than in units. Only question here is 
what - why they had to send me wherever I was, I did not cheat 
and did not scam Price really was such a (sorry no

preserved), and where did the money??

5. Your previously written response I received
but later than written for the second time??
: (

6. Delivery times, I do not beguiled with Zonovskimi terms, but 
simply was not careful when reading the price list. I will 
continue more careful!


7. Why KAY made smarter Scorpion'a
(My opinion):

KAY compared with Scorpion'om and other
computer will look more like a firm Spectrum /

Disk controller is inserted into the slot,
as well as other peripherals, which facilitates the repair of 
the periphery at its exit from the system. 

In the disk controller not chipset RT4
with fusible jumpers (not very reliable
IC).

Full compliance with the Pentagon-port 128
(He is the fastest car on the
the moment).

Memory more bystrodeystvenna because of the use of more 
bystrodeystvennyh chips. 

not too many buildings and natural
less need for current.

Good compatibility.

What I would like to see in the RAY-1024.

In corporate Speccy used chip
UL-A, which has shaped the video -
why he was and bystrodeystvennee. The use of such chips in much 
KAY impact on his workload. Need fewer buildings to form a 
video signal. You can even apply a chip Company Altera. Bosons 
do not very bad decision to use "Alter'u in turbirovanie. Well, 
at least look out for a video card RS-ka.


"Emulator" BIOS'a there, but only in
IS-DOS, I would like the BIOS in TR-DOS (under
"Emulsion" I mean the preservation of computer configurations, 
something like m / s, we "Dallas") shadow businesses - not the 
way out, he did not make a computer, more multi-tasking 
processor. 

"Frames for idiots" - I like that,
sorry not familiar with M. Zadornov. Something
like "The gate opens at once!" One word - classic. Framed - 
Framed (Window's 2001 by), but the price is time to make

new. Madhouse of course, common -
but because he could really into chaos
develop. (I'm on the Speccy).


              Sincerely Yakimenko Anton.

P.S. Mark here?? Joke!

P.P.S. No offense to say, but with people
need to communicate, rather than concepts to explain!
"Brother-2" looked, well, a taxi driver there
all, I think, about it he said - and this is
true.



            Dear Anton!

1. "Inter-48" - the number of known mene
previously manufactured Spectrum-clones already
exceeded twenties ...

2. "Microcracks" - machines have a life
SERVICE and the corresponding Service life, then they start
break down more often - this is normal.
There is no eternal technical devices. Well-designed device 
works seamlessly within the period service (up to 7-8 years for 
the Spectrum-products, provided of course accurate operation), 
and then literally falling apart before our eyes. This is 
normal. Because you bought second hand - used Scorp,

ie He has worked for half the operating RESOURCES. It is clear 
that you do not subtracted in the MS-tabloid press, although it 
is true for imported equipment. Another thing, what they 
encrypt the code "obsolescence", ie ARTIFICIAL Increased such 
that the market volume sales.


3. "... More expensive than Pentium-133. Meaning
here is that the comparison of prices
erroneously, that empty. need to understand that the price of 
the complex consists of two leaving: 

First. One-time payment. Purchase price
actual companies. The new IBM PC is
about $ 2000, maybe for you it will be news. All that you see 
cheaper are second-hand rubbish, with partial CREATE

Service life. Sometimes the technique
almost new, it means that someone stole it. Because in Russia 
was brought to this trash once in five more than required,

then it flared up at flea markets.
Another thing is that the acquisition of state organizations in 
the West, have been paid BRUTAL MONEY understood that the money 
from nothing is taken, it was robbed PEOPLE. Who made this 
decision? Like to know the name, because this bureaucratic 
solutions should be paper. I do not proponent of repression, 
but casual mention In China, for example, for such things

Shot. Large markets and so good that things are sold there at a 
price corresponding CONSUMER CONTENT, ie correspond to 'real 
concrete things, and the price can not be manipulated. How 
could it turn out that at WEST was overpaid 90% of the price!? 
for things to large, in fact unnecessary?. By the way, judging 
by the prices of flea markets, Spectrum is on your consumer

filling NOW than PC-to. Moreover, the IBM computer would cost 
more CHEAPER if their users do not have

opportunity to use Spectrum-emulyatoramm, ie Steal 
Spectrum'ovskoe FILLING OF USE.


Second. Cost ACCOMPANIMENT companies.
For the IBM PC - it's about $ 100 per month -
Spectrum for about $ 20 per month. With such regular payment of 
custom filler / support is most effective. And who among us in 
Russia is ready pay $ 100 per month for an American

miracle? Yes none. Therefore, the whole platform RS
- A bunch of thieves. They, like parasite
include the state, it subsidizes
they, in fact, 90% of the costs at the expense of other 
citizens, mostly retirees, military and other state employees. 
Who is it necessary? Look at what is happening at

attempts to introduce povremenki on the phone,
a howl goes up. And why? Because pisishnikov Lisha Freebie to 
try to limit Theft. Ie they, in fact, they say: 'Guys, you are 
stealing 90%, ie about $ 90 dollars a month,

creating jobs in America. let
You steal, well, at least $ 80 per month, as Russia will not 
pull so many thieves to $ 90 a month. "One could even roughly 
calculate how much money is pumped out of RS-com. Users, 
roughly 3 million - Twelve months - subsidies ($ 90

/ Month. Total, per year, it turns out: $ 3,25
billion per year. Do not weak, huh? And that is especially 
curious, PC-to competitive with Spectrum'om solely by this 
GOSDOTATSII thieves kahal because for Spectrum use must

$ 20/mesyats (actually, of course, pay
less, so Spectrum and curled)
PC-ka is at 90% subsidy and th
$ 100 per month - only $ 10/month. SO
this garbage and still sold at flea markets. By the way, the 
price of motherboards Boards KAI-1024 MORE ON THE ORDER, than

PC motherboards, the same flea
markets. And this despite the fact that Spectrum'e
steal something nowhere! Is that a friend of a friend.

4. "... Meaning: 1) The Nemo can buy cheaper. (This is true, 
moreover, now available only Nemo - in Scorpe over debris, ie, 
Used boards. Scorp is not engaged in production already for 
three years. And never will, as Need to invest money there,

derived in the PC-to. And that, firstly,
extremely inefficient, because all required
create it anew. And secondly, it is impossible, because y 
Zonova money "stuck" in the American pyramid. He has simply 
taken away. The man decided to play in the pyramid, Well, 
enough of). 

2) Speccy anyway once extinguished.
(If you think so, then why do something
do? Why should I invest? All
These "theories reflection of" objective and lead to this most 
bending. If all Tomorrow will collapse, then why not today

namaroderstvovat? Why not fuck
flight attendant if the plane is still dropping? Ie Such 
arguments JUSTIFIES Theft. Here is a man steals, and he had

somehow otmazatsya, somehow justified and
So he starts to talk about this thing
bending / extinction, according to the principle, but what's 
the difference anyway zagnetsya. 

3). Owning a PC-ers more. (This
indeed the case. But the growth of its speed
gradually slows down. Ie presumably, is the maximum that can 
afford to Russia. After all, these thieves have contain, 
subsidize, and how? And more than thieves, the less perspective

Russia as a state, the worse the economic outlook, the more 
mentally flawed people, etc. etc. Ie the future is laid 
landslide, slump, is scissors. The more PC-Schnick, the sooner

and with a great bang it all collapses).

4). "On" Rentu'he "and under the emulsion can not
not work. [And here is theft (withdrawal of money from 
Spectrum) in the RS-k, ie way parasitism already Spectrum'e.

It's really big and scary th
problem in its importance compared to the problem of theft in 
the networks. After what you get: a man unfastened grandmother

(The same $ 10 per month) in PC-to (ie in
America) and software (content enjoys a freebie, that steals 
from domestic programmers. By the way, emulyatorschiki as

and demostsenery, pile it on networks
This hotbed of theft (for scientific
Internet business incubator, their findings
parasites). But not so scary. Parasitism also has a limit. In 
natural communities of living beings rather quickly produced 
protective mechanisms against parasites. Cuckoos in the forest, 
for example, not so much as one would expected. And why? 
Because almost ALL KUKUSHACHI discarded eggs from the nests.

Similar arrangements are in mice. Male mice selects a special 
secret, which causes a miscarriage in females, if it pregnant 
"on the side." Thus, ALWAYS females fed only their own 
offspring. There are examples of a successful fight against 
parasites and Spectrum'e. "ZX-Format", For example, do not 
download, or on the glitch emulators. This is a technical 
protection, they ineffective. Much more efficient

protection of semantic content. Perhaps
creation of information products such
that will cause the clinical manifestations of 
emulyatorschikov. This is already being done, the method is 
very effective. See for example the file / letter N 205-1. The 
man refused to buy the RYA, as realized that change seats (and 
withdraw money from the Spectrum in the RS-k) will not work. By 
the way, now, any investment of money, any investment in 
Spectrum is analyzed and this point of view, namely: Is there 
an effective mechanism for combating theft from the PC 
platforms, ie networkers and emulyatorschikov. If not, the 
money is not to invest, why procreate parasites? Why further 
corrupting the people, who so depraved beyond measure? 
Protection of semantic content based on those assumption that:


1) Computer komplimentaren mentality
interact with it and adjusts its
for themselves.

2) "the essence of the user / computer is indivisible, that 
represents a coherent, then is irreducible object, ie has the 
nature of the monad " 

3) there are significant differences in the "monad", which can 
be used effectively to support verification. 

5). About "Logros'a". Firm "Logros" was one of the few that 
really worked in Spectrum'e. That is why with her and 
cooperation has been established. By fact arose the concept of 
shared responsibility (I say, not de jure, ie no court I can 
not hold accountable for the obligations of "" Logros'a "). At 
the close of" Logros'a "it was STATED. Namely, that I will repay

obligations "Logros'a" on the basis of those
liquid assets that were transferred
the firm (c) Nemo "Logros'om. It was
condition Akimov, and I totally agreed with him. especially 
want to specify that when Elimination of the business Akimov 
cared primarily about the users, ie the reputation of their 
own, both human and firm, which ceased to exist.

Now that means that "Logros" REALLY
worked in Spectrum'e. So this is
that almost all of its obligations provided for. Ie He did not 
give empty promises, attracting money for them, ie not builds a 
pyramid. Because, by the way, and broke. After all, where the 
sheep run, where more promise, nothing worrying about how

Satisfiability whether these promises. As a result,
actually running the company going bankrupt, leaving clients. 
This is markedly different "Logros" of these "firms" as 
"Scorpion" and "Peters". By the way, my According to a scam 
"Peters'a" for allegedly supplying allegedly Spectrum Europe in 
the near future Time to burst. The Europeans are fools - they

think that the sewage system (synonymous with the Internet) you 
can find anything other than faeces. Here they are out there 
and found the "Peters" with it "a sprinter." Ahead of them 
waiting for a good bummer. Because, as in "Peters" per gram

Ammunition kilogram ambitions. Ie obligations to be secured. 
Doubt that thereby using the logo Spectrum, Peters will be able 
to completely discredit him, as well as manufacturers of 
Russia. So it makes sense to wait until Europeans 
problyaduyutsya with the Internet, Peters, and these supposedly 
Spectrum'ami, and then be on his shoulders, "Peters" enter "in 
Europe, where sales and build REAL Spectrum'ov. While this is 
hardly possible - and, again, for reasons that were not of a 
technical nature. In order to transport / induce / propagate 
Spectrum in Europe as a platform / architecture / structure / 
detail. environment to solve problems with their own thievery. 
Otherwise, Europe will simply "Enrich" our Russian ability to 
steal, in my plans as a producer, not included. They are 
already there in the whore all, why make it worse? Why meet 
evil for evil? From this evil only multiplied. In addition, 
there are purely pragmatic considerations. Little to occupy the 
territory, it must also hold. So a system based on

theft is very quickly destroyed, ie,
this is not the imperial interests,
effect will be rapid, but short.
Why waste resources?

But back to Logros'u. Requires ticket
mail order and also indicate what number ZX-F was ordered. This 
will be tested on the basis of "Logros'a".


6. What about "later received / previously written." Leave 
without comment. The only thing I would like to see on

about this, curious Barbara ... ALL
correspondence, except for the CPD, is published in the "open 
letters" and freely available. As for the DSP files, then:


1) Sooner or later they will all be published.

If they are not published at once, for reasons that were not 
criminal. Not all information may be subject to the conditions 
of free access, first and foremost, because of the 
underdevelopment of users. To prepare some reports for persons 
specially employed I do not intend, as state action in other 
cases It is not always adequate. Therefore, attempts to me

do something to help or hinder DIRECTLY same useless and 
harmful. Everyone must do his own job. Case ZhEKA'a - provide 
public services citizens. Trying to run the same creative 
functions of the state a priori doomed to failure. This 
function of civil society. For files now, DSP delay somewhere 
two years. It was on some of the many users were able to get 
ahead of time, so talk with them someone who is not for free 
access. I have a Spectrum invested money, and real, and I

did not want "gay shooting,"
political and economic instability. I sincerely believe that 
the bomb - a weapon degenerates, cobblestone - Weapons

proletariat, the pen - the weapon of the aristocrat.
In this I am completely in solidarity with the Marquis de
Garden, who tried to stop Thermidor (car Robespierre 
(Guillotin) at using original opus, which most accurately be 
seen as apophatic theology.


For the highbrow: The Marquis de Sade, in fact,
he studied a certain class
degenerate objects, obtained by "perturbation in a small" point 
of stability of a complex object-praobraza. (Similarly, the 
first variation in the calculus of variations). Since the phase 
space defined over t, it was possible to arrange such 
facilities by designing them to being "recession" / fracture / 
Half-life (similar to the determinant in matrices). More detail 
the method described in this garden boulevard novel as "Eye 
Mackey" Haochasova. I'm trying to decide inverse problem - of 
course empirically. Ie having a set / subclass of degenerate

objects to find a point of stability. Not
confuse my opus with such works of recognized luminaries, such 
as "Fraud speed of thought".


7. 1) "... more like" - without comment.

2) "... is inserted into the slot. - This is a plus
and minus the same time. Obvious benefit
appears only when the machines with bus
will be the majority.

3) "... RT4 ..." - This is true.

4) with Pentagon'om insufficient correspondence
ports (see the user guide or
ad sheet for the Code of Administrative Justice). Pentagon IS 
NOT the fastest car (see previous issues of "open letters") - 
is explained three times already. 

5) "... due to the use of more bystrodeystvennyh chips" are 
actually reduced energy consumption (dissipation power) the 
temperature of HMC RAM. Made is to improve the reliability of 
RAM failure and failures. The speed of the RAM is determined by 
the alignment system. difference roughly the same as that 
between PASSPORT Maximum power resistor and the real power 
dissipation, which is determined by its mode of operation in a 
particular scheme.


6) "... a lot of shells." Buildings or IP
a lot, and nothing less, and as much as you want.

7) "Good compatibility. Copyright
soft yes, within the passport 95-97
%. Amateur soft - lower, but it
svoystvo amateur software, rather than machines.

8). "What I would like to see"

1) IC ULA and performance could
are not related. Corporate Speccy was slow RYA. There is WAIT - 
cycles in the regime NORMAL. ULA chip when the volumes

release that are meaningless. Also
its presence dramatically affects maintainability. By and large 
this the same 556 RT4. "Altera" - it is stone, on which many 
people hurt your brain (Head), the same 556 RT4. Bosons

made a bad decision, applying Alter'u,
ie speed Scorp'a with Alter'oy
were lower than the RYA WITHOUT ALTER'Y. Speed ​​equaled only 
after Zerov Crack KAI. I do not consider it necessary "Look at 
the video card PC-ka." No need to study this devaysa. 

2) "... Bios in TR DOE'e" impossible because
is not an OS. (See earlier issues of "open letters" - bothered 
to explain). And why do you multitask? Any additional treatment 
costs money, and this is where is not important. The most 
unpleasant fact that for by complicating the interface 
uhudshayutsya performance itself Spectrum. In addition, 
multi-tasking - a feature of the OS, something is noticeably 
much hype on its application, refers to the OS. Multitasking - a

not just a fancy word. This is a regime which requires the user 
as certain operational skills (and therefore knowledge) and the 
corresponding problems, where would these multi-tasking was

would make sense and would be justified. clear
that this nonsense is brought out of the PC-CA across the 
network to understand whether these silicon-organic worms about 
what they talking about? Likely they need a General Discussion 
about multitasking, and not the multi-tasking. In order to 
shoot the breeze about multi-tasking, multi-tasking itself is 
unnecessary and even harmful. To delirium was fun and 
enjoyable, it should not aggravate a reality.
