Event - The first Town Meeting sinkleristov city of Gomel.

                            EVENT



           FIRST Town Meeting SINKLERISTOV

                          Gomel is

                            12.06.1999



    Decision on mass meeting Gomel sinkleristov we discussed in 
our network back in March, but the event interfered with a 
variety of circumstances: that time no one else, the weather is 
bad. From behind, this time pointovki constantly postponed from 
March to April, from April to May, etc. Meanwhile large-scale 
campaign was launched to prepare the meeting. On EASY BBS was 
put up relevant ads. KVAZAR started ring up your friends, one 
way or another connected with the Spectrum. Through numerous 
discussions, it was decided to hold seyshn June 12, Saturday.


    More problems caused a time. Someone in fact work for 
someone else - the exams. Another few days had been spent on 
adjustment any side issues. Just before the event took place

tusovka on EASY BBS. In the end, the exact place and time were
identified: central park, 12 hours of the day.

    Visit pointovku people going 15-20, but at the last moment 
the four friends, referring to the employment refused to 
participate. Two others were traveling. Nevertheless, confident 
that the meeting still take place and the first attempt will 
not be a clod We left at 11.30 to the venue.



    Gomel Lunacharsky central park - the historic
place, the most beautiful in the country. More recently, the 
international festival "Sozhski Karagod was carried out radical 
reconstruction of the palace and park, a monument to Prince 
Paskevich-Erivanskiy, the hero of the War of 1812, the founder 
of the park and the former owner of the palace with its famous 
tower and chimes. As it happens, but it was in the park to 
relax most of Gomel, especially since the weather favors: You 
can go and Sog (in particularly hot weather, the beach is not 
besieged by fans of sunbathing and swimming). Here, in this 
picturesque corner of the city, amid ancient oaks and elms, we 
decided to hold our first meeting. 


    First to the main entrance to the park walked MONARCH - our 
artist, accompanied by a huge white greyhound named Lord and 
with an enormous two-liter plastic bottle of Coca-Cola. It 
subsequently emerged that the actual "Coke" was there on the 
strength of interest forty, the rest are occupied by the liquid 
is clearly stronger degrees :-). 

    A few minutes later, one after another arrived: KVAZAR, 
SSSR, EASY, VICE, FLY, THINKER - almost Vse Membury GomelNet.

Also in the crowd were invited bezmodemnye users: Arthur 
Astapenko Paul Gulevich, Arthur Burin (ART) and two potential 
modemera - Jura and Alex. At 12.20 the basement of a few mates 
of the number of latecomers, and when the audience became a man 
13, somewhere in the middle of the first, the audience, opening 
pointovku turned KVAZAR. Representing each spektrumista 
drugdrugu and briefly reminded everyone the purpose of our 
meeting today he was withdrawing aside EASY, offered to 
organize software people's drinks or similar substances. Very 
quickly fitted out a small detachment, which included KVAZAR, 
EASY, FLY and VICE, who went in search of beer, leaving the rest

acquainted with each other.


    While the aforementioned citizens went to a nearby shop for
plastic cups and beer, which incidentally gained as much
11 (!) Bottles, in addition to three liters of mineral water, 
people in the park gift of time is not wasted. THINKER - 
pulling the tape recorder began to crawl present the question, 
what do they expect from today's pointovki. By the time the 
booze was delivered to destination, he managed to get the order 
all :-). 


    THINKER> Tell a few words about yourself and what you 
expect from today's pointovki? 


    MONARCH> drinking.


    THINKER> (surprise) that all??


    MONARCH> Why do you want? Vaughn, a Kvazar'a ask ...


    KVAZAR> The main purpose of the groups - to make the first, 
after create a dial-up network real step towards the 
unification of all spektrumistov city, and it seems to them 
though, would get acquainted. Generally we have today are 
planned elections coordinator GomelNet, and a discussion of our 
problems, both within the network and outside it. This applies 
to all sinkleristov at all, even if they 48K ... What else? 
Just going to revel, to have fun. I think everything is still 
ahead. 


    THK> Substantial ...


    ART> Arthur Burin of ELSSLANS, was such a group, and 
remained, but not on the Spectrum. I want to wish you, that you 
were going to another not once, not the last. I hope that you 
have in your network does not desyatpyatnadtsat man, but in a 
city where 600 thousand, there is a 600 spektrumistov. Make 
Spectrum - he is one of the most reliable computers, for 
reliability with no match, except that machine on which I now 
work - is the CM-00 - a military machine - a virus it does not 
take :-). 

    Spectrum fit different purposes: from training to address 
the most different to your problems. Back from programming on 
the Spectrum to any processor platform, the idea does not make 
special labor. Only change of command. After all, modern 
programmers do not engage in any programming code or assembly 
language. Can, in principle, such tasks and there, but when 
there are complex problem and it needs to squeeze in a small 
amount of memory, the more often people who are engaged in life 
processors, can anything should be solved. Simple programmer is 
often nepodsilu ... 


    ARTHUR> My name is Arthur Astapenko. At the meeting I came 
to see the new people, all who have engaged in Spectrum, yet 
not abandon this a good computer, and learn what's new now is 
the world's Speccy what programs go, etc. 


    Meanwhile, after a short discussion, the people decided to 
move to the beach, on the way to go THINKER took from all the 
interviews in "Polesie" ...



    THINKER> (Referring to all at the same time to anyone 
specifically). Tell us how you poznakomolis with Speccy? 


    MONARCH> It was long ago and not true :-). It seems in 
1989, I brought from Lviv first Spectrum. Scorpio I had the 
year three, I took him at Vasey Bobrov from the local office of 
GLS, with those then I had a lot of them: and Leningrad, there 
are different 48K, and more sorts.



    THINKER> What do you think the future of the Spectrum?


    MONARCH> And nothing. I look - all the dump with him and I 
soon piled on the platform "Tamagotchi" :-))))).



    SSSR> My name is Sasha. Spectrum I started in 1991
year. Once purchased the ad Cassette "Leningrad." First
there were problems, but when I more or less figured out with 
him, tape machine I stopped to arrange. Then I drove myself to 
St. Petersburg and bought a board the Scorpion-256, which I 
have to this day. Sam hooked him and worked on it very 
seriously, has collected a large amount of games, etc. 

    In 1994 I joined the army and temporarily suspended its 
work on the computer, and when I arrived, the programming began 
to be engaged smaller, more has to do with iron, and this is 
continuing to deal with.


    The Future of Spectrum I also appreciate not very 
optimistic, but Speccy - all the same machine more and more 
home for people who are not very good with finances, because 
the patched PC costs a lot of money, and Spectrum can collect 
on his knees, "almost everyone. 

    About iron: You can, of course, the Spectrum turned into 
quite a serious car, little inferior to the PC: connect such 
things as music fee, naturally mouse. Well else you can think 
of? Expand memory, of course, to 256, 512, 1M, and rasshityat 
it should not RU7, Traditional way, and the SIMM - chips, as is 
customary at the HRC. And it must be provide specific standards 
that already exist. Nanaprimer in the port 7FFD use the extra 
bits that address a broadening or 1FFD, as is done in Scorpio. 
And it may be worth to take a standards-based pros, because 
have enough of this car is. After all these bells and whistles 
we can speak about any future. While the Speccy, imho - it's 
all the same platform is more for students than for serious

people, because there are a number of hardware limitations, 
which almost impossible to overcome, in particular low speed, 
poor graphics and low RAM. 


    Arriving at the beach the people broke into several groups. 
One immediately rushed to bathe, others began to drink beer, 
but few people eagerly discussing the latest developments on 
the Speccy. While KVAZAR FLY and staged a demonstration on the 
beach massacre in cards THINKER continued to collect the fruits 
of eloquence :-) 


    Call me George. Spectrum started the year 90-91.
Then he went to the army. After the army came, when already in 
the course were drives. I bought "Solon-128, which are still 
problems Throw not going to move to another platform, too.

Spectrum, I think he was as well and will remain, he will not 
get anywhere. It is advisable to go higher quality software, 
and the bells and whistles would not hurt. About the future: 
those who made it and those will be to deal with. New people to 
connect more complicated. As we have already noticed - is a 
computer for people who have not very deep pockets etc. And 
those who remain, those will remain ... 


    I Lesch - my friend Yuri, who spoke earlier, through him I
learned about this computer, as the Spectrum. Sat with him, 
playing, now there are more serious plans to get carried away 
... 


   THINKER> So all the same people on the Speccy go quietly?


   Lesch> Well, yes, we can say that. I do not know. If I - a 
potential new Spektrumist - hence I am not alone, and not just 
one, maybe people are interested in - leaves the future he has. 


   ART> Arthur Burin. On the past. Spectrum bought in 1991, 
after a couple of months, as the institute did, of course, with 
studies began to fly :-) (session two weeks - and the rest - 
Spectrum) Nevertheless finish my studies. Then he went to the 
army. At the Spectrum, I mainly dealt with: the first time 
(week or two) to play, then was BASIC - month mastered, then 
engaged in code all the time codes and engaged. Global did not 
write anything, except that parutroyku work programs. In 
1993-94, I plugged the drive directly with it did not 
understand, why some of our projects and disappeared. We wrote 
a toy "Emissary", where we map twenty times more than in 
"K.BOUNTY-2" in size, takes about 5 kB. Next I engaged in 
electronics, connections, repairs, development of different 
provinces. Here, have developed a keyboard controller, which 
operates without stopping the processor, which complicated the 
scheme much, but as a result, works in all programs. 

    Then I went to the army, that came back - people are 
already looking a little on the Spectrum. About the future 
Speccy ... That's when I repaired the computers, people had a 
lot of people came to different age groups, starting from the 
sixth grade students, peasants to 45-50 years. All sorts of 
people involved and I think that much is still left 
spektrumistov. Only one solution - we must unite, then your 
network develop programs and, of course, there will be new to 
emerge. In Grow your network of new coders and programmers. 
Spectrum is the most accessible and invulnerable computer, 
unless it not done badly, and so its always easy to recover and 
reliability of its quite large. Most likely, it will keep even 
a large number of spektrumistov on this platform. 

    I myself am now left on the PC - just because I'm doing
electronics and electronics for the Speccy can not find a large
Demand, moreover, that electronics develops very quickly and I
I can not stay in the same place. I have six years was an 
enthusiast, but for a long time I can not stand. Spectrum, of 
course, I'm not going to sell might be in your network connect 
... 


    Arthur Astapenko. I started with a programmable calculator 
MK-52. Then he bought himself a "Byte-48", sticking with these 
cassettes have been with them big problems. Then connect the 
drive - with I liked the drive to work. Then I was on "byte" 
retired - ordered in the GLS "Scorpio" and is now sitting on 
it. At the Spectrum, I simple user or as they say user. On 
Speccy already eight years, mainly as a consumer programs. 
Engaged in BASIC, assembler, trying to program, but further 
modifications of programs from tape to disk, and installations 
of eternal life is not passed. 

    Now the biggest problem, in my opinion, on the Spectrum -
is that the five inch disks are dead and they need to replace 
something another. Would it be trehdyuymoviki or hard drives, 
and maybe something otherwise? I think the most likely solution 
will come from Russia, there is very developed Speccy, mainly 
St. Petersburg and Moscow. Well let's see what will continue, 
although the Spectrum will last another ten years, especially 
in the scene. 


    At a time when half the bottles of beer and mineral water 
have already been devastated, our good-fellows decided to run 
for the other end of the beach for kvas, and that was what to 
wear, at the same time grabbed all the dishes. Abstainer 
THINKER, probably already fairly suffered from thirst, and 
therefore looked for, something to such a drink, he bumped into 
another almost untouched Monarhovskuyu bottle out of the 
Coca-Cola. " Deciding to wet his throat, coveted liquid, with 
which "comes to us a holiday," he kissed the neck of the tank 
with a screwdriver "... 


    There was a long pause ...


    - So .... (Frowning and with genuine surprise in his voice) 
- What is this??



    MONARCH> Like what? Vodka + Coke = screwdriver aka 
dangerous mix ... 


    - Seriously? Give me another try! ... *-)


    Liquid in the bottle began with incredible speed to 
decrease. 


    KVAZAR> Here's ruin oneself by drink and non-drinking men 
:-))) 


    At that time, decided to intercept the SSSR ours, pretty 
drunk reporter initiative. 


    SSSR> Well, now tell me what you think about the future of 
the Spectrum? 


    Firstly, my name is THINKER - Artem Emelianenko. First
of all, I arrived in Gomel in the early 90's. By this time 
already FLY bought a "Santuck-002" and we started programming 
in BASIC, do different byaki. Then I bought a Profi-512K with 
drive and monitor for $ 80. Then FLY acquired "Byte", bought a 
floppy drive and expanded memory. I'm now coding. Me from the 
beginning interested in programming ... *-) 


    SSSR> Programming of games, demos or software programs?


    THINKER> It does not matter. Anything. Basically, I wanted 
to do some game. At first I wrote in BASIC, but result, of 
course, nothing intelligent turn out simply not could. And now 
I'm learning assembler, see what happens. About the future of 
the Spectrum: I think that it will evolve in the gland. Surely 
something to do with the graphics ... 


    SSSR> In your opinion, what should be done to the Spectrum 
more developed?



    THINKER> First, we must pyamyat normal to do that
indeed there was one standard of any port, then the graphics, 
sound, we'll see ... : * / :-))) 


    SSSR> Now the question to KVAZAR'u. Tell us briefly about 
your history.



    Alexander Seleznev. By Spectrum life I communed
relatively late, and bought a computer somewhere in the early
94-year. It was a cassette, "Byte". It is worth mentioning that 
before that I have about five years working on various machines 
from the famous "Corvette" and "wells" to IBM PC-286. After the 
purchase of "byte" I'm about a year collecting software. By 
games I was not especially attracted a lot more like collecting

program. By the time I plugged the drive into my collection has 
already been to two hundred tapes with games and sistemkami. It 
Then I took up commerce software and cassette with the stigma 
of the studio KVAZARSOFT sold in many shops in the city. At the 
same time, I struck up acquaintances with many urban 
spektrumistami, Some, like Sergei Savenko - Sim, Drobyshevsky 
Igor nicknamed DINA, Yakimets Volodya from SUPER GAMES STUDIO, 
though the latter is now left for the Amiga, and helped me with 
the delivery of software, maintenance, etc. Through them I came 
to the firm "GLS", where he subsequently changed the charge for 
"Compact-128" and this machine has been repeatedly I have 
upgraded is until now. 

    Around the end of 1995, I met a group of DREAM
MAKERS - at the time they did ECSTASY. It was then largely
thanks IMP'u, I was involved in the Spectrum scene. Initially,
demomeyking I never was interested in, and the quality of the 
overwhelming majority of those days the work was simply 
disgusting. However, DMS could bring demomeyking to a 
qualitatively new level. Since then, I have closely followed 
developments in this direction in the computer art. 

    In early 1997, IMP has invited me to enter the newly
formed by the association as a RUSH svappera. Thanks
this, I got a chance to meet with the Spectrum scene, establish 
close relationships with many groups, including Poland and the 
Czech Republic. With some of them, I still continue to engage 
in an intense correspondence. 

    Since then, I have been actively engaged in life and 
Spectrum if possible, try full screenshot Speccy in our city ...



    SSSR> How do you imagine the future of the Spectrum.


    KVAZAR> future it is very vague. Ultimately, everything 
depends on us - that is, users. If we want to maintain, 
preserve this platform, at least as a rarity, I think it will 
turn out. It would be a desire to ... Creating a dial-up 
network - This is just the beginning. Personally, I go with 
Speccy not going to I have this platform will remain a 
priority, even if future, and I acquired a professional machine.



    THINKER> What do you think the future of the Spectrum in 
the gland, in software or something else?



    KVAZAR> Here it is impossible to answer. Need a 
comprehensive approach: the hardware must provide quality 
software. Programs must be written for specific hardware. And 
no Do not forget about the users - that they are the future for 
them zhelezyachniki developing new gadgets, and programmers 
writing software. So, the way to the survival of Spectrum in 
the union of all users, engineers and softmeykerov. To the 
latter I refer also to the numerous scenery ... 


    Tells FLY:


    It's such a terrible story. In 1991 I went to a friend
home and saw a terrible car - Spectrum-48 with a tape recorder 
on which was such a game - Elite. I'm somewhere, the three went 
to him play. Then I bought "Santuck-002" - the buggy comp. Sat 
on him for four years, tried to Upgrade the controller drive

I could not, had to buy a "byte". Then a half years
sitting on the "48K Byte" with the drive, then expand the 
memory of ART'a of ELSSLAND and in this state am to this day.


    About the future of the Spectrum: I'm on all the main 
parameters agree with KVAZAR'om, add me to say here.



    VICE> (joyful voice). Comp 48K I bought in the year 92nd.
First there was one, no one knew a couple of tapes were. Then 
he met with Dimona (it's about EASY), came to him recorded, and 
then we went and drove off. So we had around Gomel bought the 
cassette. Two years sitting on 48's companies. Cassettes, we 
searched for everywhere, was addicted to these hard ... EASY 
then bought in 1998 , the "Scorpion" and then I decided to 
afford 128K. 


    EASY> Kostroma Dmitry. The first time I saw the Spectrum
slot machines. Previously, when I was small, gathered a bunch 
of grandmothers and went to play in those same machines sat 
there from morning till pm. In the morning one time went - and 
there inside the machine is keyboard mafonom and man something 
of Georgia ... 

    Then my cousin Vova bought the Kvant-48K "
nasty and very buggy. I have it hung and hung up to 93 years
when I bought myself "Raton. I played at Rhoton until December 
25, 1997 years, after which bought EVOLVER'a of DMS 
"Scorpio-256K. Bought and immediately started looking for 
software ... I look in the newspaper "Press Advertising" 
announcement: "For Sale CDs and cassettes for the Spectrum." I 
think: "Well everything will go. Come, and there sits KVAZAR. 
Well, first we KVAZARom were purely business relationship. I do 
almost every day for him went floppy craving :-).


    And then KVAZAR'u came up with this bad idea, how to buy 
modems. He tells me: "Do you want a modem?". I told him: "What 
is is it? ". Well, it started me unharness what a cool thing

Software can not leave home to get, to hang out, etc. I think
all kuplyayu. I saved up 15 bucks for a modem and sat with them 
six months, until KVAZAR deign to buy modems. How to buy, so 
they SSSR'om experimented on my computer, so this pull up the 
modem. I have a PC in those days for months disappeared. I was 
so angry that he was ready all the throats poperegryzat ;-). 
AND now pull up the modem - I've looked, what a rush! And now I 
- Sysop, so far only in BBS-ki. First, by the way was 
KVAZAR-ova, but he had some reason then closed. Well, came here 
today for the first pointovku and look, what is it to end. 


    MONARCH> Like what? Will remind sysop beer and go home in 
:-). 


    THINKER> And about the future of the Spectrum?


    EASY> The future is all cool. I'm sure. We develop both 
their complex, which will be steeper than any pisyuki :-))).




    Meanwhile, pointovka continued vengeance, although a few
comrades were forced to leave us. KVAZAR brought his "Zenith" 
and led a clandestine filming a hidden camera. FLY, EASY, and 
SSSR went to swim at Sozh. Lord, apparently overheated in the 
sun and decided to swim at the same time pulling on an 
unsuspecting VICE, at a rate of good Russian Borzoi. :-) 

    While a huge wild dog jumps performed on the beach, 
resulting in terrified vacationers and dragging the hapless 
Weiss TNINKER again pulled out the tape recorder.



    THINKER> A right now, I would like to ask all the question 
of the origin of their nicknames. First of all, let's start 
with ... (Here he looked eyes of the victim) ... with KVAZAR'a.



    KVAZAR> (Prikanchivaya another bottle of beer). I've 
already talked about this spread ... Turn his gaze to space 
:-))). 


    EASY> (joy). My nickname dates back to the hut KVAZAR'a. We 
sat down and he asks me: 


  - Do you have any nickname?

  - No, - I replied.

  - Well, Think ...

  - Now considerations ...


    At the time I trudged from Mouzon, who sang EASY-E. Well, I 
think I'll call "EASY". Well, damn it, called for his head ... 
;-))) Now, as soon as I can not name: the "Izzy" and somehow,

and write, so in general, almost with a small letter. I will 
kill all ... :-) 


    KVAZAR> Come on we'll rename the. How do you imechko "Gogi"
or "katso? ;-)))))))) (General fun) ...


    MONARCH> Advertising saw six months ago ... beer?


    THINKER> What beer?


    MONARCH> Beer "Monarch". That's all ...


    SSSR> The origin of his nickname, I will not tell, as will 
be then no wonder no one will ask ... 


    Pinned wet and sweaty VICE with more wet Lord.
"Ufff ... beast ... Caught at last!"


    MONARCH> Thou it does not let go, and then people on the 
beach scared. 


    The conversation goes smoothly on the electronic media. 
There is a discussion of Belarusian newspapers, Gomel 
"Polesie". 


    Arthur Astapenko> Gomel paper, I have not read, but I
liked some Belarusian newspaper, like "ECHO",
"ENERGY", good editions. I welcome the emergence of new Homel 
newspaper, be sure to read it and see, maybe speak for any 
suggestions. I am especially interested, as I have said the 
problem with the transition from five inch drives to alternate 
carriers. I would like to know how this problem can be solved 
in Gomel, a three-inch disk drives are connected or otherwise? 


    KVAZAR> The problem with the five inch wheels really have
place. Maybe now it should not be so acute because of the old 
stock diskettes for users, although just three months ago Gomel 
was a real crisis disk. I think it's worth to pay his view on 
three-inch drives, the more so because they are easy to 
connect, call for a total of five volts and even Drives There 
are almost everywhere, they are just too expensive ... As far 
as I know, three-inch drive is already in many places, 
replacing the second five inch. Some users (like me) set 
themselves the "three-ruble note 'third drive ... So there is a 
solution. 


    ART> I once suggested to a newspaper "Polesie", rather
magazine. Even begun to do a little graphics started to draw up 
texts did not get it ... N / O all became very, Sasha in fact 
does, you're doing. 


    THINKER> What, in your opinion should be published in our 
issue, on what terms users to navigate? 


    ART> I do not know ... Focus on yourself, what you need. By
the idea of ​​you - the future of the Spectrum, but we have old 
people. How many out there already Timeout rooms, eight or ten? 
Here read all the issues and then concluded could be anything 
I'll write ... 


    JRA> At this point, the level of a normal newspaper, more
to-date information on hardware, generally in Gomel is being 
done. The main desire - to develop further, we may be in the 
magazine passed. Until no more offers.



    From the bushes: *) heard the voice of the monarch:


    MONARCH> I once made a computer room, but did not open. 
This technique has been cooperative "Display". Theirs are the 
same computers I have at the circus. It was then that I began 
to seriously pursue Speccy, the program started to buy. When I 
have a computer room was closed, so small a year knocking on 
the window, but when will ... 

    I still have a crust otmochite at work: put in the foyer of 
the circus computer with printer and software, "Biorhythms" 
that all came and tested, for example: Find day of your death. 
Come students and everyone wants to know the fatal date. The 
biggest joke - this is when everyone is equal. Small resented: 
"This is going to die one day." I climbed into the program, put 
the RND + / 15 and everyone was happy ... 


    Question about THINKER'u: why you are interested in 
assembler. 


    THINKER> Assembler provides more opportunities. Of course 
the time needed to spend more, but the result justifies itself. 


    ??> And if on the Speccy existed a powerful compiler with
"Pascal" or "C", you'd be doing coding?


    THINKER> Without the assembler can not do anything. Can be
High-level language code to make the call procedures. I would 
like to learn the language "C", but not on the Spectrum ...



    MONARCH> He does have a spy. Came from the fourth grade
and is now going to go to some out there Astrakhan. There at 
all, probably no modem, all on Viccom'ah sit ... 


    Question about EASY: Tell us how you came to this life?


    EASY> Well, when in Gomel was one BBS-ka, Kvazarovskaya, 
the very first, I looked at Quasar, and thought that perhaps a 
sysop be cool. And then I had a problem - there was no second 
disk drive, a BBS with a drive - it suxx. Especially for the 
BBS-ki I bought a second drive, pull up - all well and started 
Quasar torment, that he taught me a server to do. Learned and 
this I - sysop.



    ??> What you're satisfied and dissatisfied than a sysop in 
his life? 


    EASY> I'm happy when the entire log rammed three times -
So many people tolls. Here SHADOW with Minsk earlier each day
rung, and now its like to be seen.


    VICE> Probably got a bill for long-distance ;-))).


    EASY> I do not know, probably decided on all the score, he 
promised. 


    KVAZAR> It's a pity that today, ONE MAN has not arrived. It 
would be cool. 


    FLY> I wish there were more people in the network and then
not much more ... I was thinking to go to Peter on CC'99, 
especially that prices fell for the tickets. If podnakoplyu 
bucks - just go. 


    ??> How do you feel about holding such festivals?


    FLY> This brings enormous benefits. Developing coding. Here
previously knew nothing, and now writing for such effects that 
bend. These competitions are very helpful and the fact that the 
push to create new groups (even though old now falling apart 
faster than newly created), and without them all would have 
already died out. I even can not imagine how we lived, if such 
activities were not conducted. 


    ??> What is important now to write of the software on the 
Spectrum: Games demo program or system?



    FLY> In my opinion, of all the software that is now being 
written and will be written on the Spectrum: The percentage of 
50% should be given to games, 30% and 20% sistemkam demo.



    KVAZAR> Say what you like, but gamers are still the main 
consumers of these programs and in no case be forgotten. 
Percentage good quality games have much precedence over all 
others and over and over demami sistemkami, of course, subject 
to the availability of both of them. 


    SSSR> Iron I do with ten years (obtained for about
17). I still have from childhood, from the third grade, 
interested in most dig deeper, something to make out something 
to fix it. Of course, the first time I made out my TV, after 
which he was not worked, then someone else, and he especially 
did not work. But gradually, little by little, I gained 
experience and then a lot held through my hands TVs, receivers, 
tape recorders, computers. I even lost already by not even 
remember who brought what. I think I have this thing turns out, 
yes and I am somehow more interesting than anything else. 

    Of course, I could become a computer programmer and a 
defined framework for this subject I have: I graduated himself 
a professional programmer, but since this is a big influence on 
health, so I'm a it did not develop, although so far for me it 
is very interesting. And zhelezyachniki I went, because I and 
the propensity there is the ability and determination of the 
elemental base, and just interesting.


    This is particularly evident when any appliance or
apparatus, which will bring in the most terrible condition, and 
then When you sit on it a week or two and it goes from you,

as a picture - it is especially pleasing. A Spectrum I repaired 
in mainly because all my friends sitting on the Spectrum and 
when I more than happy to give them a good deal, then even money

it's not worth taking ...


     ??> Gomel now experiencing an acute shortage of 
professional zhelezyachnikah. Do you think if you can influence 
yourself the situation in the city? What do you see your role?



     SSSR> I see its role primarily is to run
Finally, these modems in the series, to bring them to mind, 
though, would be released ten cards, which would have worked 
fine. In the future, building on St. Petersburg's development 
(for example board GMX), at availability of relevant 
documentation and description can be raised Gomel Spectrum to a 
new level. But all it is - a matter of time and I also work, 
and my work nothing to do with iron, so you have to do 
everything this in his spare time, and then, naturally, wants 
and walk, something else to do. I will if possible, these plans

implement, yet have time to health and strength ...


    ??> I wonder what problems exist in your opinion in the
our network?


    VICE> The biggest problem in the network that few users. 
People need to somehow attract. I now propose to get some 
ruleznuyu game for two and make a network-wide tournament. 


    KVAZAR> Yes, for us now a major problem - lack of
good dial-up toys. That software that is available - just a 
drop in Sea. Would like to hope that our geymeykery fix it soon.



    VICE> For me, the strategy in the first place - the
preferred genre. That look forward to the continuation of the 
"Black Crow. "The first part I took a couple of times and now 
going through Three ...



    KVAZAR> Without immortality? <:-()


    VICE> Of course! Since immortality is not interesting. Even 
the mere subjects, on some levels, such a long time not 
attacking. Very interesting game, some missions can quickly 
disappear, if use terrain features, etc. One word - awesome.



    EASY> I'm also looking forward to the release of "FT-2, it 
all waiting for probably a second place I have is "DOOM". I 
want this tchotchke fuck, but she did not appear. :-)



    ??> What can you say about today's get-together?


    EASY> Vaasche cool! I liked it. Would be nice to everyone
month to arrange a ... ;-)))



    Time was getting on toward evening. We slowly started to 
wind down and go home. Finally, showing THINKER'u local

Sights and making about a dozen pictures from the place
events, all parted satisfied, happy and drunk :-), they decided 
to arrange a month later another tusnyu.
