     Forced me to sit at the keyboard
my old "Pentagon," some
events, strongly made me angry. Begin
in order: a tradition has become a tradition to scold 
"Pentagon" because of incompatibility with corporate SPECCY and 
praise others cars (basically, Scorpion, and KAY / that

almost the same thing '). Guys, nothing you do it.
In my opinion, much better than fifteen hundred clock cycles 
more than five or six thousand less. This I mean that in the 
ZX-Revue 7-8/96 called for the users of non-Scorpion'ov alter 
its components under this wheelbarrow. Even schemes have been 
brought. For 

Why, they ask, brewing remake?
Yes to install ProfPZU. And then there is
question: but what for? Writes

could connect to your component any Scorpion'ov-parameter Soup: 
iBM claves, mouse, IDE screws and stuff. (It would be better 
thought of as a ZIP-drive prisobachit, would have been more 
confusing.) 

ADV: There is an opinion that hanging on
SPECCY all such widgets makes it
non-Spectrum'om. What Spectrum - a 128K
Memory + AY + drive. And how to hang on
him different bells and whistles - better to buy a cool comp, 
for example, AMIGA :-). 


     In addition, we must ask:
you on their "Scorpio" use all
opportunities provided by the shadow ROM
(Meaning the system restarts)? Wash, nobody uses (I, anyway, 
this is not heard). Still, the They said coefficient adaptation 
is needed to work you DOS (not TR-DOS) and predict for this role

iS-DOS. No, against the iS-DOS'a I do
(Almost) do not have, but as upon OS on my computer, I would 
not want to see her. (That's really unfortunate lapped up the 
idea with MSDOS.) Oh, and that all of this PC are worn? iBM 
Claudia mesh (uncomfortable to work under SPECCY on iBM clave, 
and standard, they have no (and then will explain what I mean). 
Well, I certainly understand that SPECCY memory fountain and

had to be somehow the whole thing in 48 kilo stuff. But 
citizens are not the same. Take, for example, an old RT-11, The 
first release of which was somewhere in 1971 or 1972. Hand on 
heart I can say that it is much better and wiser than MS-DOS. 
The very core of the system takes only 2K, but everything else 
is done through the driver. And so it remained until

date (the last version that I saw was 5.4 in 1992). This
easy to install drivers I have not seen
nowhere. Should be put, or to include in the active
tively state driver: give the command
"LOAD imya_fayla_drayvera" or "SET name
Driver ON "and all" have nothing else: no rebooting companies 
or other distortions. Do not you need me more than the driver - 
give the command "UNLOAD ..." or "SET ... OFF ", and all memory 
is returned to the system, vector exempt, etc. And in the 
iS-DOS'e I could not remove a resident from memory (RT-11 all 
loaded drivers resident). A iS-DOS we are actively trying to 
navyalit gentlemen Nemo and zone. This is not assaults, just 
make me sick of everything, especially phrases such as "Foo! 
BASIC - it lamerstvo" or the like. This applies to the PC.

How many times have I watched as the new students,
coming from the rich (the past) school
turned up his nose from UKNC - ... and monitors
not colored, and there are no games (or rather, I did not set), 
and in general, it is time to dump them. What, to the devil, 
they are entitled to so argue. They do not work either so or to 
another (I mean PC). After all, if you look for

Games, at the same SEGA ACTION-game we
Nogo is steeper than the IBM PC. And as
BASIC'a, well, I do not understand what he is not pleased
(Especially iBM'skim "developers"), what the hell, the 
difference between what the writing program. For me personally, 
no. What will easier to implement the task on and will be done, 
at least in Chinese :-). Here you've probably read and think: 
"Well Sasha for this man, all he does not like at all ever 
comes over. "Yes, I Lately nothing like it. Now, the question 
of why I still started write this article. And then, dear 
readers, you to think a bit about the future. The future of 
your SPECCY, your future. It is time to themselves to take 
matters into their own hands and to deter Russia from Microsoft 
and clones IBM PC (even on the same pisyukah:-o). Do you think 
will not work? Yet how it will! Our programmers have been and 
remain the best in the world, and that there would not say 
Reverend Baths that the Russian-language programmer is more 
difficult to write programs and the quality of them worse. We 
can zatk nut for the belt all and all, but ... not

want. This, incidentally, is not Hochma. You know
who mainly wrote in Russia Program
for the PC? Correctly, students and alumni
faculties, where there was a computer. Professional programmers 
(especially the issues of the past few years) do anything, but 
just do not work in the profession. I have a friend, it's quite 
cool and SPECCY, and on the PC, but apart from me and

a very narrow circle of acquaintances of his work
nobody saw. He could do much
but it does not, and why? And because it is
already done by someone, but do have to make again, he's 
already broke, although he may make steeper. It turns out that

Russian computer advances are moving people who are not (with 
rare exceptions) professionals. 

     Now one more question: at what the market work? With 
Spectrum'om here all clear, but with the PC ... Somehow

almost everyone is trying to break into the West.
What for us that the West has surrendered? They and

so all in bulk. It would be better to think like
in their country the normal progress
programs do. Yes, and at the same time do not forget
a monument to the hackers. I can
ask: "what does all this nonsense
has to Spectrum'u? "Yes, no. Just
tired of seeing journals that are similar to collections of 
"best game" plus "Secrets ZX". After all, what an electronic 
journal does not run, do you the same thing: a description of 
games, information on programming techniques

Hardware, from time to time or short story
some funny text, advertising and
answers to readers' letters. You are all
familiar, does not it? Sometimes, though,
there is some nonsense like that,
that you are reading. And then I met
its just a ZX-Format'e (like Captain
NEMO is the case) or in native Adventurer'e
(There could be delirious I). The question is, why in the
computer publications to write about abstract topics? Have you 
read KompyuTerru (preferably on a regular basis)? So there is 
sometimes a meet ... And it looks cool. 

Frankly, I do not really our magazine
like. No, of course, a sense of pride
wakes up when the letters come from
all over the country and because of the near abroad. But as you 
look at the log, so immediately think something is not that, not

so. What is necessary - not to think. It is possible,
Of course, to paint, what would he like to see in the ideal 
magazine, but the thoughts scatter and did not know what you 
want. Interface like a beautiful and convenient, but

so that the other was not like this (and all
conversations about contemporary slip interface - it's garbage, 
not that he's modern, and not very comfortable), more 
information, more active readers and still do not know that.
