              A little about yourself


  I count myself among the first generation
spektrumistov: sobral his first
Spectrum-48 back in 1987, he was kogda
gimmick and only nachinal go narod - and then have 
radiolyubiteley was popular PC Radio-86RK, built nA pradedushke 
Z80 - K580IK80 - and having 16K The memory.


  Working on the Spectrum, I have reached the level of

 Scorpion/Z80B/256K-ram/48K-rom/FDD-5 "25 /

      AY-3-8912/Soundrive (Covox * 4) /

    ZX-LprintIII + Programmator EPPROM

              + C-DOS modem.


  At one time it seemed to me that the Spectrum -
Childhood is a programmer, and it's time to move to a more 
"solid" platform. But Now, thanks to the efforts of Vladimir 
Klimusa, Andrew Stegnitskogo and their comrades in

Lviv appeared ZX-Gazette Optron, and then - and the network 
LvivZXNet. This means now that Lviv is spektrumistov

their own BBS and the gateway to the Internet.

  Reading "Optron, communicating with the sponsors,
I am increasingly convinced that the Spectrum - a
not fun for the kids. Actually,
That was the reason that I got C-DOS modem and joined ZXNet.



          Fantastic country


  Am I popal this fantasticheskuyu and
kazalos would be invisible country ZXNet? If
Sir Sinclair would Klayv uznal of suschestvovanii
This network, navernoe, would burst from zavisti that he is 
still not the Point! Creating your computer, it is, I suppose, 
and not dumal, Spectrum that will takoe razvitie!


  Communicating on the network, its members can get the 
information they need to soft and gland, promptly consult with

their comrades in the case of any difficulty, to discuss 
spektrumistskie and other news, finally, just to spread a 
couple of jokes. 

  Good fun was the discussion topic "Zadolbali Jehovah's 
Witnesses!": Each of the Points could remember something funny.

Was suggested and a prescription for how to deal with
this plague: when one of our points "pull up" a pair of 
Jehovah's Witnesses with the suggestion to pray, that in 
response to tightened: "Hare Krishna, Hare Rama! .." - 
Jehovah's Witnesses both blown away!


  But in the network has a formidable ad sysop: PostScript 
points to all come together. Please bring a bottle of beer for 
the boss. For failure to appear - penalty ... "




            The sacred tradition


  The joint solemn drinking beer PostScript points - it can be 
said, a sacred tradition that goes back to time immemorial the 
first modem transmissions. Since Since it was established 
fidoshnikami firm rule: network members regularly get together 
for direct communication with each other (pointovki). In this 
case, since the network is kept at a bare enthusiasm of its 
administrators, its supposed blagodarit beer za takoy hard 
work. And, of course, itself is not forget.


  When to create a network ZXNet, she took over the 
organization, structure and traditions of her older sister - 
FIDO. Here's our sysop and reminded PostScript points to one of 
these traditions. 



             First pointovka


  And finally, it was held - the first
in the history of Lviv pointovka spektrumistov!

  First of all, we discussed a permanent place for future 
charges. Proposals to meet "Shevchenko's feet" or "behind 
Grushevskogo" were rejected - we decided to "walk in the 
footsteps of" fidoshnikov. The selection was stopped at a 
street cafe in the lower part of the park Kosciuszko: there are 
going Points 106 th Site Fido.


  Seated at tables, beer smoothly distributed among the Point - 
and went to the process of soaking, a personal acquaintance and 
discuss pressing issues. 

  Recently ZXNet loudly discussed the so-called "NFSP - and 
pointovke we could not pass by his side. It turned out that our 
boss graduated from law school, and the topic of his thesis - 
just the organization of charitable foundations. So that was 
very interesting to listen to the characteristic of this 
problem from a legal point of view. 

  Discussed and our rodimaya BBS. In order to encourage its 
creators, we decided to extend the timetable for them BBS for 
one hour. 

  Solved and disciplinary matters. One inactive Point, which, 
moreover, did not attend the meeting without good reasons it 
was decided unanimously to punish week-long shutdown of the 
network. 

  Well, of course, was just communication: network
network and personal conversation does virtual
not replaced.

  "Until next pointovki! - We said goodbye
with each other, diverging from its first
collection.
