Hi!

Hmm ... Speccy was the best computer I ever wrote smth for, but
now Speccy is dead and we have to leave it behind. Of course all
I did for the ZX was a just 4 fun programing and (compared with
my current every day deadline) it was very interesting. Yeah,
I've have a lot of feelings just like nostalgy for a Speccy time
... and may be it's not for a Speccy but for my student's life
:)

P.S. Speccy (is) was the best!


                                       Best regards, Siv Blader.

    Spectrum is now a privilege that part
people who can not afford to buy PCs. From this
it all begins: a man with no means to purchase IBM
buys Spectrum.


    Users of the newly come leymery, which in turn
turn, become coders, musicians and artists.
Created new group. People find each other ... That is, just,
through them, basically, and kept the scene.


    But this part of the story. On the other hand, many people,
podnakopit little bucks, buy yourself pisyuk, and that at least
somehow compensate for their financial costs are a
"Old" Speck to the nearest radio market, which give his
beztsenok, saying, "I've grown out of this car." But I'm not one
such people: on my desk and get on Four Spec. One
computer for work (HRC), the other for the rest (Spec) ... 
Conclusion: in Russia, poverty will always prosper, therefore, 
Speck will live forever!

Spectrum-XXI requires high speeds!
Set yourself an emulator for Pentium III!

    Speccy scene is now in a very difficult
position ... And not just now - our scene "sausage" is
several years in a row! Let's remember though, would be the 
last 2 years, when No party has failed!



    We did not surrender? Oh no of course! All of these shocks
for me to serve as an additional incentive that, if ... 
Although not Frankly, the recent idea that I would stay at 
Speke a (And, ostanuch one already, after years and lamerstva

formation, left alone at the peak of its activity and
skills).


    But that would not happen - I'm on the Spectrum. Always and 
everywhere. 


    My life - it is the Spectrum. Spectrum life - my life. Until
Spectrum will not die, I will not die. Until I die I will die 
Spectrum.

Some predictions about the near demise of Speccy,
expressed by various minded skeptics remind me
predicting "doomsday" ... Each time the deadline extended
farther and farther away, but nothing like this happens. Speccy
enters the XXI century and will remain interesting hobby - until
his fans are still alive - we all!

Well, OK - why not. :)
Here is my short text:

First of all - Speccy is the best 8bit computer EVER. And all of
zx-fans should stick together. We love our machine and this is
the most important! It can connect us! So - greetz to ALL of
Spectrum lovers !!!!!!

    Not a lot, of course, grew more active fans of the Spectrum,
if one considers that the question be sent out at least fifty. 
All this simply says that the scene is a creature

rather viscous, vyalotyakuchee, amorphous and difficult to 
mobile, like a rusty spring ...



    Any event sees people as rapidly and dramatically, as well
as silent about this. Although the wood for combustion
in the furnace requires so much that fidoshnaya echo zx-spectrum
always boils and foams.


    The meaning of words that led distinguished respondents 
understood. All of them are quite well-known personality in 
okolostsenovyh circles. Do you know what davleet over 
spektrumistami - A complex of inferiority. After all, when

spektrumist for themselves in an unfamiliar environment, begins 
to talk about themselves, their activities, the first question 
to him would be to theme, and why this is not your Spectrum 
masday! Themselves to themselves, probably experienced the 
pound a Down and Out ... 


    So the old man still has time to catch a cold Spectrum on
funeral next Pentium ... ;)


    His own answer to this question, I tried to express in
new material, titled 'In fact', which should
below.
