                ONLopros


(C) OLDMAN


   Hello, dear! I can not say that "vsemodemny"
survey is completed ... Rather, he is interrupted by ... There 
is no longer forces to ring round the remaining ... So I had 
100 responses and I decided to stay on this lucky number. 
Incidentally, the number is very convenient, since the number 
of votes equal to the relative size in percentage. 


   Let's go! The first thing that interested us - it's your 
age. Here what happened:



   15-17 - 46

   18-20 years - 32

   21-45 years - 22


   Yes-ah ... SPECTRUM, of course, the computer is young, but 
please attention to the upper age limit (by the way, this 
figure was not alone)! Hats off ...



   It was interesting to learn what spektrumisty in free 
SPECTRUMa time: 


   Only learning - 61

   Just work - 24

   Study and work - 7

   Unemployed - 3

   Hesitate to answer - 5


   In addition, we found out that both take time off from
my favorite car in:


   MIREA - 3

   MRAST - 2

   HTKEM - 2

   CTIF - 2

   MAI - 2

   MADI - 2

   TC - 2


   And how I, in addition to these, new words learned!


   In the last issue was published responses for ZXNet.
Tend to forget them ... Remember for life's final data:
"Hang" at the stations BBS:


   Every single day (night) - 16

   One or more times per week - 36

   Rarely ... - 20

   Never - 28


   And that's what people think about amplification of the 
order in ZXNet: 


   For - 65

   Against - 10

   Yes, but ... - 10

   Undecided - 15


   Now, with popularity ratings of stations:


   ALEX BBS - 24

   ICS BBS - 8

   DITRONIK a BBS - 7

   ANV BBS - 6

   eksLIME 2 BBS - 6

   eksZX-MAGAZINE 2 BBS - 5

   PREDATOR BBS - 4

   STS BBS - 4

   CHIP BBS - 3

   AKL BBS - 2

   eksDITRONIK 2 BBS - 2

   JAM BBS - 2

   Well, did not respond - 45


   Other stations were not mentioned at all, or no more than 
once. 


   Finally, my favorite rating - electronic publications. 
Poraskinuv brains, I decided that it is incorrect to compare 
the computer newspaper, distributed free of charge, with 
commercial magazines. So I separated them. By the way, about 
those numbers in brackets that you will from time to time to 
meet in this article ... So, the first number after the hyphen 
indicates the number of people (or percent, as you will recall) 
remembered the existence of a software product. And then, in 
parentheses, shows those who rated the same product as the most

best.


   ON-LINE - 82 (77)

   LIME TREE - 46 (9)

   DR. LONGMAN NEWS - 15

   ANIGDOTS - 12


   SPECTROFON - 36 (32)

   ZX-FORMAT - 10 (6)


   Generally do not read anything - 9


   Do not even know what to say about this ... And who doubts 
something! 


   Quite unexpected results were obtained in response to a 
question: "Do you use other platforms, in addition to 
SPECTRUM?": 


   No, no! - 43

   IBM - 1948

   AMIGA - 7

   MACINTOSH - 3

   BC - 2

   ORION 256 - 1

   Somehow, the greatest outrage was expressed with the "split 
into boxes." What did not had to hear: "prefix - a toy for 
children," it's for stupid, "" from their brains turn sour "... 
I especially liked: "I'm not some igrulya and Speccy respect 
long ago. "I also respect the long Speccy, however, like 
sometimes, you know, make a little apostasy by Super Nintendo. 
And as it turned out, I'm not alone: 


   SNES - 6

   SEGA - 3

   DENDY - 3

   JAGUAR 64 - 1


   In recent years, a host of competitive games
domestic production. I must admit, I was frankly pleased with 
the opportunity to allocate them in a separate table ranking. I 
hope you have not forgotten the differences between the numbers 
in parentheses on the numbers without them. Apologize in 
advance sponsors below programs for the omission of them (about 
the author). Not all respondents considered it necessary, but I 
just do not have time to write all the copyrights. In addition, 
all known things ... Yes! In This and all subsequent tables 
include only those programs which were mentioned at least three 
times.

   By the way, about the domestic game. It turns out that some
do not even know that their favorite games - Domestic ... To 
the west were added: SEXTRIS, DINA BLASTER and even ... UFO! I 
also in a response to our games found DIZZY (CODE BUSTERS), here

I did not understand it ...

   Were still referred to "Andy Chernikov", "Anton Vasilyev" 
and even "Bill Gilbert" ...



   The question of demonstrations touched only musical 
demonstrations and demonstrations visual effects (the same 
three words in one sentence - it should be able to). So it has 
become customary to SPECTRUMe ...

   With sistemkami general misfortune befallen ... Very quickly 
entangled in the various versions of the same programs, I 
decided all this not to mention away from sin:



   STS - 36 (8)

   TASM - 34 (13)

   ART STUDIO - 32 (2)

   ZX WORD - 29 (9)

   ADM - 15 (2)

   MASM - 14 (10)

   GENS - 6

   CDOS - 5 (2)

   F COMMANDER - 3 (1)

   MONS - 3 (1)

   Do not enjoy - 3


   For some reason, almost no one remembered the CDOS ... But 
some do not forget even the wired TR-DOS and BASIC ...



   To stretch the imagination of the proposal treated 
differently ... Who claims that everything is already written, 
who proposes to create VIRTUAL BIT ORGANIZER or AVTONAPISATEL 
PROGRAMS. There were even thought of need antivirus! But many 
people treated the matter seriously: 


   New CDOS - 17

   Coolest graphics editor - 12

   Music editor for COVOX - 4

   Another cool music. Editor - 4

   Super text editor - 3

   Copyist monster - 3

   TURBO PASCAL - 3

   AON - 3


   Among the possible sources of acquisition "novya" were 
mentioned: 


   Radio market - 71

   Modem - 43

   Friends - 22

   "Inforkom - 5

   "MicroArt" - 1

   Themselves with the mustache (the distributors) - 5


   For some reason the prices are unhappy ...


   Pts. High - 41

   Normal - 57

   Funny - 2


   The question - "Do you prefer games with a choice
"Eternal life"? "Received the following answers:


   Of course, yes - 74

   Never - 15

   Not all ... - 11


   The question "What for you is SPECTRUM" identical responses
almost was not. Most just could not with indifference
classify their attitude to the computer: "My diagnosis," "I
from him trudge "," That which leaves 99% of the time, "" Remedy
zakisaniya Brain, "" This tool does not drink, "" Anything, just
not a girl, "" tool of self and the awakening of the internal 
talent "... with great difficulty, managed to bring all the 
answers to general (and as it does not like):



   All together at once - 30

   Entertainment - 21

   Means of self-affirmation - 19

   Source of Income - 12

   Means of communication - 10

   Computer - 8


   It seems that the majority of responding to the survey, all 
have made it voluntarily. And they will not torment the idea 
that they knowingly killed his precious time: 


   Such surveys are needed - 88

   It is no use to anyone - 5

   And who knows ... - 7


   Well, once so necessary if such actions are more or less 
sorted out, it is necessary to determine the frequency of their 
conduct: 


   Once a month - 20

   Once a quarter - 17

   Once every six months - 22

   Once a year - 7


   Well, you give! Once a month to conduct a poll ... But
half-yearly or quarterly I think a more realistic suggestion ...


   And in conclusion, let me express my gratitude to the 
correspondents who spent this poll, namely: STRYKER, NIKO SOFT, 
ZX-SHADOW!                         Dmitry (OLDMAN)
