Interface - Hacker ... Who are they? Why do they need?

     And now let me offer you
the attention of a curious story.


     (C) Ryabtsev Denis (DJ-DENS)

            from Surdakar Group



                Hacker ...


        Who are they? Why do they need?



     Oh, where am I? Um ... Ah, I remember:
I was asked to write something realties, here I am
and decided that the best way to tell you about
our own, so to speak, on the Rybinsk Hacker.

     In our city, like anywhere else,
are found wonderful people, lengthening
generation programs for SPECCY. They and only they
did not abandon "the brainchild of Clive Sinclair, creating 
more and more new programs, recycled old, who had lain for 
decades. All these people are a little Hacker. It's no secret 
that a good programmer started its activities with the view

others' programs, gained experience and then
started to create good and useful program.

     Why do they need? Yes without SPECCY
would not have lived, and two, maximum three weeks.
"Why not live?" - Say ... Yes, because without  not 
every game You can go to the end, some general

impossible (shooters, simulators)! And if
game marred by pressing a "good man" on the button "MAGIC", 
which would to have in the disk collection of 100-th

TAPE game ... Who will fix them? Of course, all the unloved, 
Hacker! 

     Recently read in "SPECTROFONe" article
on Hacker, saying that they are syakie,
"Broom" to impose a "jerk" lines, forcing users to read these
SCROLLy ... Bullshit! In each LOADERe
respondents are key "Y", "1" or "2"
and if someone does not want to read, can
push those same buttons and easy
play. I, for example, on the contrary a very
like to sit a bit and read what
they're written, while listening to music kakuyunibud (for 
AY-8910/12-1). 

     "MEGADEMO", "BOOTDEMO", "MUSICDEMO" same brainchild Hacker 
... Nice to rejoice with them when you see some brand new 
effects or hear a cool tune. 

     After that, you ask: "Who else
And then PROGRAMMERS ?!"... PROGRAMMISTYserznye people, they 
are developing new system software, inventing games,

"MEGADEMy", "BOOTy" - it is their past ...

     All the above applies only to
a bona fide Hacker not spoil
Toys ... But there are - they have
AVAYA not only their initials enter
instead the author of the game. In our town were
such people and they were called BREAK SOFT ...
They did not even trouble to "break" our
"COLOR LINES" (the first, not the secure version) and tell me: 
"Hi DJ-DENS! How are You? ". And I told them:" Thank, I feel so 
good! ". They told me: "Denya up! C. LINES well protected,

Well ..., well, barely broke and the names of
their navstavlyali. And in our SCROLLEere
Names. "- it proves once again that
"The family has its black sheep" (excuse the expression).

     To my great happiness, I have about them a long time
have not heard anything ... Maybe thought again??
Break Soft (if you're still so-called!) If you are reading this 
issue of the journal, the Respond ... Tell us what you do, you 
have brand new ...
