    Hi to all scene people!!! It is fashionable to talk about
Spectrum scene and its future, and I decided not to stay in
side and also to express their views on this subject.


    Someone says that the scene is degrading - and such a 
majority, others believe that it is every year becoming more and

better, but in the end will come around to this limit
and it will burst like a soap bubble. But ultimately, thoughts 
and these and other extremely gloomy, and sometimes ask 
questions and Does not excessive pessimism of some "elite 
spektrumistov" demoralizing scene?



    They have a very great prestige and well able to
to convey their ideas to the masses. And who are the masses?


    It is crowd lazy organizers, who are so
engaged in study or work, even forgot which side of
Spectrum pedal RESET.


    It's the artists who prefer to "create" their works in
Photoshop with subsequent conversion to Speck, while brazenly
saying: "I COPYhudozhnik.


    This is a lamer and users, for which the opinion "elite" 
authoritatively. 


    Finally, it is "old" - Cancelled for some
reasons, the elite have their own opinion. And, of course, 
itself elite. Sure, there are honest and artists, there are 
caring organizers, but such units.



    How does this mechanism operates - the mechanism of 
demoralization scene? And he acts just as a device 
elektrovenika. Some elite coders who seduced other platforms,

as his justification for why he left the Speccy, throws
words, they say, Speck is outdated, for it has no future, it is 
not serious platform, or something like that.



    Then these words apply to the Internet or Fido, and
from there hit the virtual pages of newspapers and magazines
Spectrum Press. For some readers, this news will cause
some schadenfreude: "And, dumped a scoundrel! Well, nothing, 
but for I was on stage seats will be more. "These thoughts go to

vainglorious lamer. And "old people" argue otherwise: "It's a 
shame that such a talented person on stage left - and many 
people could still for it to do ...".



    And the rest of "being" to "the native of the elite" and
thinking, not whether to make me a global apgreyd? Spec selling,
podkoplyu some money, buy myself a PC, especially because there
Emulators different ... And there is plenty of flowers and the 
sound is cleaner and CPU speed faster ... Yes, it's not a fool 
that guy is not in vain He threw that trash trinket.



    So the people and goes to other platforms. There are only
"Old men" who have extensive experience on the Spectrum - 
Seniority 5 years and above, and remain true to tradition. They 
understand that A Z80 them - the gods, but on the PC - just a 
stupid user. 


    I count myself among "old" because I'm familiar with Speck
more than five years, and interrupt the friendly relations with 
him are not going. At the moment, on my table without conflicts

get on Pentium-100 and the Pentagon-128 on the PC I exist as
musician, and on the Spectrum - as a musician and coder, 
sometimes as artist.



    The conclusion is that people should not throw a single 
platform for another, and then the wolves will be fed and the 
sheep are safe. 


    That's all, folks!!! C U L8R!
