Glitches in ZX-News - Flying "glitch" in the July issue.

            Glitches in ZxNews ...



            Alex Mikhailov, 1996


In prededuschem room ZxNews'a several readers have found one 
and the same- bug: "After a few seconds after loading the 
paper, the screen starts to fly something strange and 
unexplained "?" 

One even tried to crack the shell with
using disk-doctor to little to treat "poor zaglyuchivshuyu a 
newspaper," as he put it. Nothing happened ... 

Another commander, renamed Conver
file ZxNews.B on ZxNews.C, thus trying to trick ZxWord, and 
tried to view it as text. What was genuine surprise unhappy 
when he saw some strange pseudographic characters in peremezhku 
with numbers and letters, located a bit messy and disorderly ...


The third, who had to drink a little beer before
reading, thought at first that the beer was slightly more than 
he relied ... "When, how sellers have come, - he said something 
to try to prove myself. - For beer vodka is diluted." With 
these words, he fell asleep, his face buried in the keyboard ...


Fourth, it seems the most intelligent, tried
understand how this could be to TRIP
flew across the screen.

As had happened before: bugs quickly and safely covered the 
screen, often destroying vital information. Especially

often happens when the appliance to the neighbors living across 
the road on the contrary. Or this version: some

a small child in the late-night crawl
switchboard, in order to try
know all the secrets of the domestic electrical industry, which 
she it protects children from more than a defense against enemy 
spies. Instead, his tiny body in convulsive spasms leaves the 
house without electricity about a week - until there is fitter 
will come ... In such cases all occurred more faster: so much 
fun recently flickering screen becomes like a black hole; drive 
before the final cut, the last effort to spoil the most desired 
disc, power, unable to withstand overload quietly starts to 
smoke, mouse, convulsively clenched in his hand, with the quiet 
crunch breaks ...



        Hmm. He did not understand ...

A bug and continued to fly around the screen,
nobody touching and anyone not paying
the slightest attention ...
