[] I. Bozhenko


  So, CC'99 successfully completed. Now on
all possible networks, distributed information about this major 
event for the geek CIS. Reviews - all kinds:

from enthusiastic to negative, which
quite natural for an event of this
kind. To date, the most complete
is the message which did Peter
Sobolev - one of the main organizers
Enlight'95 ... 97 and the "freelance consultant"
CC'99.

  The text of the report was circulated in the Fido network and 
ZXNet. Full version (with photos) is available online at:

  From there we have borrowed some elements of graphic design
this issue "OPTRON.


  According to available information, we have prepared
a brief message to his readers:


  Forecasts of CC'99 not differ optimism. It was found that 
anxiety were in vain.


  To conduct CC'99 was rented hall of a school in St. 
Petersburg (on the street. Bryantseva, 10). In the same parties 
who were not "Homeless", and spent the night.


  Main sponsor (mostly rent the hall) - the company METEK, one 
of the leaders which - the father of the chief organizer, 
Random'a (Vsevolod Potapov). 

  Random hails from St. Petersburg, he worked in
Australia and arrived in less than Peter
month before the festival.

  In addition to St. Petersburg, were represented (according to
list) in Moscow, Voronezh, Vladivostok, Russia, Novgorod, 
Samara, Stary Oskol, Minsk, Arzamas, Krasnodar, Russia, 
Rybinsk, Ulyanovsk, Tula. Several participants were surprised a 
small number of attendees Petrograd. 

  One day ticket cost 50 p. To him
in the form below to vote. For
girls entrance was free (on the "rescue"
it has not affected - they were only five or
six). Seats got everything.

  The image is displayed on the screen with a video projector 
SANYO (rather "feeble," judging from photographs) and 
duplicated on a small color monitor. With Spectrum image 
projected in black and white, because with He colored the 
picture could be obtained. 

  Spectrum at the festival predsavlyal:

 Scorpion 256 Turbo +, GMX, General Sound


  Acceptance of work going on directly
before their show. Tenders have been
anonymous voting - general.

  No excesses within the hall
observed. A small number of visitors (130-170 people, tickets 
were sold to 122) contributed to the normal

environment. The proceeds went to
compensation for the cost of renting a video projector (about $ 
250 for two nights, according to the wording in Lviv for a 
similar charge 2-3 times less) and other losses.

  In summing up was, in particular,
says:

  - How was party, Random pleased.

  - CC'2000 necessarily take place, and it is in St. 
Petersburg. Roughly - in August. The emergence of any more 
festivals, no impact on the CC'2000, although the terms if 
possible, be separated. 

  - Problems with the compliance order was not,
however, five glasses as usual. Losses
Organizers estimated at $ 300.

  - Expected in the future, especially
invite participants to limit advertising - to keep the number 
of visitors to a reasonable extent. 

  - The high quality demo / intro
on the ZX Spectrum as opposed to PC.

  - Are planned FunTop'2000.


  It was very interesting to look at
how the other continued the tradition ENLiGHT
demo party. Few mistakes organizers
were not of a fundamental nature for
Except, perhaps, one - too
Late announcement of the party (approximately
Six weeks before the start) because of which many were unable 
to submit to the contest. Spirit ENLiGHT'a that all so- liked, 
was retained. We look forward to CC'2000. 

  Let the lovers of the combinations of the flame
Tunnel and the plasma would be a shame, for shame
they must have been during a demonstration of their work on 
CC'99 and replicas of the hall - 

so concludes his report Peter Sobolev.
