                INTERVIEWS


 (C) Re-Animator


     Today I took the interiors of Spider'a. As usual, let's 
talk about everything little by little, and more precisely 
on-write to ... 

RA> Hi Igor. My first question klikuhe. Why "SPIDER"??

SD> It's very simple! The fact that the nickname appeared 
earlier, What I appeared on the network. Somewhere in March 
1996, my friend threw me a CB-shnuyu radio station and I had to 
think about calls. Now I do not remember what prompted the idea

SPIDER'om be named.

RA> Tell us how you got on the ZX-SPECTRUM??

SD> Somewhere in the 90-m from their parents was born the idea 
to buy a computer, well, then they were a deficit, but then 
suffered would kakimnibud Microsha or BK-Coy.  In 1991 I first 
saw the Spectrum - it was a 48K delta-C podorili that my friend 
in the new year. Impressed games I decided that the same need 
and I ...  The first computer that has appeared, I had a 48K 
Leningrad, it was collected me and my father in 92-m. In the 
same 92-m I got Corvette with two drives and a printer, my 
attention shifted to him. On Speccy I only played for Corvette 
gained and printed essays, written by Pascale bend, etc.


RA> What are you busy on SPECTRUM'e for what he do?

SD> Now, almost nothing, my Speccy longer belongs
my users BBS'ki than me.
 In the summer I, along with her sister joined the SuperNet, 
then idea of ​​releasing their network newspaper. But to work in

I had the newspaper not long ...

RA> Igor, I know what R'S BBS was part of the SuperNet.
But there was some conflict and the server is no longer 
dependent. You Can you tell me what happened?


SD> The whole story probably is not worth telling, I think
Many have already heard it. Just tell the coordinator SuperNet'a
was a selfish man, who cares only its own image. If it were not 
for selfishness MAL'Sa conflict such scale might not have been, 
things might calm down and no one would know it.  I was pleased 
with the fact that we came out of SuperNet, and that's the 
reason: SuperNet is not a free network, ie there is no freedom 
of speech. Everyone who says what he does not like to become a 
coordinator worst enemies and lose the address. Coordinator

compliance with the statute, can lead boring: I was 
disconnected from SuperNet and the MAL'S BBS incorrectly for 
behavior that is (???), Malfunction behavior is that it 
disagreed with SysOr'om.  Now my station to be truly free and 
ready for connection with anyone!


RA> Yeah, this situation is familiar to me ... In DIAMOND group 
removed all "Mailing Address" for fun (see MODERN 8). What can 
you ska show of Moscow's online newspapers? How do you treat 
them, what do you prefer another? 

SD> I try to read all of Moscow, and nemoskovskie publications
many intersnyh especially interested to learn about how
networks are developing in other cities.

  I do not give predochteniya any one edition, just
in almost every newspaper has columns and articles that
I'm interested.

RA> editors ask preslushatsya to the readers ...
Igor, you razberaeshsya in hardware? Can I call you 
zhelezyachnikom? 

SD> But then what I had to disassemble can truly be called
iron, the fact that all domestic electronic components
remained at the level of the early 80's. Zhelzyachnikom in the 
fullest sense I am not, that is, I am not able to develop their 
hardware. My knowledge, I use mainly for equipment repair.


  Where I'm really good at iron - is PC.

RA> You know, I'm interested in your opinion on a question ... 
That better AMIGA COMMANDOR or PENTIUM MMX?? And why?


SD> The question many are now interested ...

  I do not share the opinion that AMIGA will replace SPECCY. 
This explained by the fact that few people can write programs, 
and certainly very few people who can do iron for AMIG'i. 
Advantage SPECCY on many other platforms in that it available 
for understanding both software and hardware level.


  If you have a choice of what to buy AMIGA or PC -
You decide. I can not insist that you have chosen too,
that I do - everyone has different tastes. I have already made 
their choice when as soon as possible take Pentium, it is 
justified by the fact that PC is now a versatile machine and is 
used in many fields: business, server, workstations,

graphic stations mid-level music and games. Flexibility
PC will allow me enough bysro go to resheniyunovyh
problems. Second preimschestvo (important for many) is the 
price: a fully equipped PC is much cheaper than the equivalent 
AMIG'i (you can view the lists and count), a simple Example: 
Pentium-166 MMX (32Mb RAM, 1.6Gb HD, 1Mb SVGA) is without 
monitira 588 $ - AMIGA (40Mhz 2 +16 Mb RAM, 1.3Gb HD) is $ 
1,089 without a monitor, and at 500 bucks a difference you can 
buy a PC a bunch of lotions.


RA> How do you think Igor is there any prospect of ZX-Spectrum?
If so, what? If not, why not?

SD> When you go to HAYES modems SPECCY is a good machine
for communication networks (FIDO, updated ZX-NET, maybe even
IRC on the web). Nor any per-minute charge will not prevent us
communicate, there is nothing to fear! Those who predicted the 
death of ZX-NET at per minute charge is not right! Already, 
they say that night rate will be 50-70% less than daily, as is 
well known network is nocturnal.


RA> Another such issue. Soon our network switches to 
HAYES-MODEM, have all agreed except one: the rate of 9.600 or 
14.400? I personally insist on 14.400. What is your opinion you 
in this matter? 

SD> I see no problem in this regard, it is very easy to
termenalnoy program is likely to be used by the protocol
ZMODEM, let people choose themselves what they need a modem.
The fact that the modem 14.400 may freely operate at speeds
from 600 to 14.400 (in some cases even slightly higher), then
have all HAYES modems are compatible downwards. In general 
problems in the choice of speed there should not be (by the way 
the modem 14.400 is now 150-200t.r. that not much more 
expensive C-DOS modem). 

RA> And the last question. What do you expect from FUN TOP'98??

SD> From Fun Top'98 expect that sobirutsya spektrumisty with
all countries that do not forgotten SPECCY, and that this 
festival will the same breakthrough, which once was ENLIGHT.


RA> lastly, as usual - wish spektrumistam.

SD> Not stavaytes not throw away your SPECCY. In my this
computer has many relatives still be with him, we have already 
lived many years. Some have long predicted SPECCY death

but they miscalculated - SPECCY will live forever in our hearts,
in our memory ...
