Будущее Спектрума

Everything gradually - What you need to save Spectrum'a.

   Now I would like to appeal to all the people who somehow,
(Especially in hardware) are SPECTRUM'u.


   Gentlemen! Are you up until now did not get that SPECTRUM'u
urgently need a standard, especially in the hardware! Our
Spectrum also need an open architecture, both at IBM. In
our time is a tough competition from game consoles (dermo!!), 
and they are very close on the heels our SPECCY, and all due to 
the fact that SPECCY nonstandard, ie, each case the taste and 
everything about incompatible, and so that what is connected, 
have long subverted with a soldering iron in his hands, praying 
that something does not burn.



   For example: computer ZS SCORPION. In my vsglyad, developers 
of the computer simply want povypendrivatsya, they say what 
they smart: a little of what they have done polunesovmestimy 
computer so they are also erased, and all rooms with chips! I 
do not understand Why fear these dudes! Who they would rip off a

shit! Who needs it? Yes, anyone! They even himself does not 
care, they just want to have more money to tear. And for what? 
For the 'left' ROM or something ... Okay, back to topic ... 


   In short, guys, if it continues, then SPECCY and did die. 
And this is unacceptable, because ZX-SPECTRUM is one of the 
steep and, at the same time, the computer is idle at the 
moment! We must fight for the survival of our friend, and drive 
video game consoles in FIG from Russia! And it takes no little 
strength, but if we will integrate (including CIS countries), 
then we can push the crowd mind-numbing brain, video game 
consoles. 


   First and foremost, do not reap the scheme empower
SPECCY, and have come up with a standard, so as not to dig with 
a soldering iron in the guts of the computer by buying a card, 
come in and quietly insert it into the appropriate connector. 
But it needs after all new fee for SPECCY standard size 
sockets. And for this over all individuals who develop 
SPECTRUM'y, it is necessary to consult and to introduce a 
common standard. 


   Second of all, you need a lot of new software. This applies 
to new and old programs are not finalized Stupid enough to 
rivet demonstashki! Tackle it was better than anything serious! 
And if you all still really itch, do such things that have not 
met anywhere else. And third, do not need to sell software 
provisioning for the disposable cost. 


   Well, I would like to write a little bit, but unfortunately, 
time running out. I was in a hurry, and because the text has 
turned out nearly a Kaif, but Forgive me. If someone decided to 
help me, please call, always happy to hear from you in a tube 
of my buggy phone! This text will be added and I put it on my 
BBS, well, and you (Pozhaluysta! (for the benefit of SPECCY!)) 
Swing this file to all who able. I hope that this text comes to 
those to whom it is addressed. 

Spectrum lived
            Spectrum alive
                    Spectrum will live!
                         Spektrumisty.
