misunderstood.

     Changes in the editorial ZX-Format


   In connection with the extension to the level of rumors 
about the cataclysm that befell our magazine, we decided to 
publish the official version of what happened. For some reasons 
the editorial staff of ZF parted with one of its members - 
dictator in the world referred to as A. Rachkinym. However, in 
connection with this, no way not planned or discontinuation of 
the magazine, nor care Rachkina with Spectrum scene. For lovers 
of the details, we report that the dictator an opportunity to 
get a job video studios, and as this work, as well as work in 
ZF, requires too much time, the editorial staff offered to make 
a choice. 


    P.S. I would hope that further information on
of XL-DESIGN will come directly from the group.
That will certainly increase the reliability of such messages.

   I can not resist - as required ... And what
Offended that? I would like to see me and no one
said. And if someone would want to know anything about my work, 
let me immediately and call. And about ZXNet would not talk - 
"... from Moscow to hear the news that the opening Allegro 
BBS'ki ..." That at least increase the reliability of ... 


   Unfortunately, hardly possible ... As soon as the activity
or that the subject is not known to him alone, around it 
(activity) is generated by a sea of ​​rumors concerning, 
primarily, its planned duration (activity). Such is human 
nature ... 


   Want to steal the epigraph previous article ... Did not 
understand my noble goal - the destruction of such rumors. This 
can be done in two ways - raise their hearings, the purpose of 
which, in theory, refutation of the rumors wrong (well, in 
short, calling someone and say - "Yes I did it! they're 
lying!"), but only in this case, the result - just rumors 
fouling is superfluous details. The second way, in my opinion 
more civilized, and most importantly more efficient - the 
publication of a fairly popular edition of detailed and 
reliable information on this issue or any other method of 
documentary announcement of truthful information. In the future 
you only need to refer to your chosen media (eg, because - 'You 
that, ON-LINE does not read? Financial and "). 


   Of course, you have a choice. May not pay attention to 
"rumors of your death ... Well, I may call you on frank "... I 
do not submit to the" front page "splash-type" ZX-FORMAT 
covered, and Inforkom sold "as would make other publications, 
whose popularity only to such "Sensations" and holding on. No, 
I came up with an unambiguous name for the column (which may 
still be value in the word "unverified"). In the last issue 
written clear enough for a savvy person explanation of the 
purpose categories. That's really, really, is "... simply can 
not be misunderstood ..." 


   But no! Maybe! Reaction to the new section was unexpected (at
least for me) - okay another CEO INC
Inforkom Mr. Friedman abuse showered me, okay, well, 
obscenities from a friend with kulturkoy, it happens ... But 
what to me XL DESIGN offended - I do not understand. Guys, well 
really is best for you when different spiteful critics over you 
sly laugh? Hopefully, even sure, XL DESIGN understand me 
correctly - at least I I respect the fact that they have done 
and are doing to SPECTRUM. 


   As for INFORKOM'a, despite their incorrect
behavior, I decided to answer for them ... since reliable 
information, even if received verbally (well, there is no one 
there a couple of lines of stuff ...), I still have.

   IPC Inforkom, of course, is not tied to the Spectrum, 
Spectrum distribution of software still remain their main 
activity. And yet, in many request the firm's clients and 
readers ZX-Revue IPC is responsible to publish the (very 
tentative release date - 3-4 weeks), printed edition, dedicated 
to Amiga - "AMIGA GUIDE". Also planned dissemination of company 
software for the Amiga, and possibly computers themselves.
