                 OPINION

 (C) Dimon


Here is the yard in 1999, and Spectrum alive
all the living and continues to please us, although progress 
has gone so far as to Power Spectrum simply negligible

Compared with other kompyuterami.Tak
Now, in this article I will try to analyze the overall 
situation with computers in Rostov-on-Donu.Vot you say, yes

Who needs it, all so long ago written.
And I'll tell you-all that is written does not
affect the specific situation in our gorode.Nu so here I will 
compare platforms such as PC, Apple, Amiga, Playstation, 
Spectrum. 

Let's start from the beginning.

PC (pisyuk). The word I'm just not nice, not to mention all the 
drugom.Nu yes Okay, we leave the arguments on potom.Kak

things in our city situation with this crap.

Firms have, as in other cities, though
pond prudi.Estestvenno problems with soft'om
and hard'om also not voznikaet.Pravda themselves
understand the constant upgrades, and at today's prices, it 
also flies in the very more kopeechku.Plyus to constant

dissatisfaction with a wheelbarrow is buggy, then
the game slows down, then the resources are not enough 
short-constant running or to no good leads. 

Apple.Ochen cool car in its capabilities, but the price of soft 
and hard simply astronomicheskie.U us in these

computer takes only two firmy.Tak that if you have a lot of 
money, then I suggest you buy this cart. 

Amiga.Tak in Rostov this machine
nobody does, then the prospects for
it in our town I can not see.

Gaming pristavki.K Unfortunately, we have
they also include in this spisok.Dannye
things are good only if you
but to play into something more
neither of which is not nado.V our city gradually taper off 
data veschi.Vosmi-bit consoles almost outlived itself, but and 
I think they take into account and to divide rather Sixteen-bit 
pristavki.No but if you have 32-bit console, then, first, you 
get the money pisishnyh games, and secondly no apgreyda.No

true then you will want that either do it yourself and then you 
will wait Big bummer, because, apart from games consoles 
nothing else are not intended. 

And here was our favorite spektrum.V
principle with soft'om and hard'om, I think
special problems in our city is not on
comparison with other gorodami.Vse you need to Spectrum, is 
available on our radiorynke.Zato, as a result, you get a great 
moral udovletvorenie.Da and family budgets of Spectrum has no 
effect. 

So, from what has been said, I think it should be especially 
true as possible to compare the pisyuki and spektrum.Hotya 
gosh, how can even compare 286 and Spectrum, as deuce-is a 16 
bit machine, and the Spectrum just vosmi.No it is not a 
conventional technical parameters, and in respect of human

souls to each individual machine.

Again I repeat that pisyuki is the most
the most worst choice of all available
platform.I not have to say that I do not
worked on the PC and therefore do not know what it is
takoe.Ya now as much as 4 years working on
pts.Pervyh 2, I worked on a 486 at school,
as I long for this shit does not sit, then the overall 
impression was quite posredstvennym.No here, when I went to 
university and faced closely with this monster, this is where he

and showed all his cars have litso.Prichem
We are nehily-penki133 with brains in
16 metrov.Rabotat I have on them
almost every day since
Internet-this is a very cool thing, plus
to constantly bring in divine form
our page and keep doing so car as little as possible 
tormozila.Tak behold, all the time that I work for a car, it 
seems to me just hell, well, Now imagine, I opened up somewhere 
in the windows 10 and they are all together slow down when they

vybiraesh.Prichem naked eye
It can be seen as first removed all pixels
and then attributes it to shorter-videt.A even steeper when 
there is a given situatsiya.Ya open the mail and it vybibirayu 
window for writing a new letter. So, when I want to get into 
the box for the letter was written, the system first displays

to screen mail envelope, and then clears
screen, and only then begins to display a window that I need.
You can imagine-full nor dibilizm.Net
some savings, all ospolzuetsya
not so sparingly that I, as spektrumistu it's just not 
priemlimo.V result, I had a very long time to drip in the 
system to accelerate the graphics output and make work more 
udobnoy.Vy look at these all-pisishnikov what they talk-mostly 
about the number of megahertz and megabytes, and other 
technical stuff. And they could not even imagine could come

that in order to make the program does not slow down and 
generally ate less resource machine Ny, you just need to 
optimize the control kod.Ya not argue that it is not easy, but 
firms are not interested in this, and the result is a vicious 
circle in which the winnings from the only firm, but does 
neither the polzovatel.Vstrechayutsya, of course, bright 
personality and pisyukah and I such I know among my friends, 
but their nastolko small that it is rather the exception than 
the actual pravilo.I turns out that the user is in constant 
search of something better, and this becomes the meaning of his 
whole zhizni.Vy want to be in the role of these people? "I do 
not hochu.I Here's our view tends to Spectrum.

Most programs written for the bare
Pentagon + AY.Konechno not dispute that needed to complete the 
buzz and the turbo mode on the processor and the SH, 512kb 
memory, at least Covox and a lot more then, but it's still not 
obyazatelno.Kachestvo programs for several years increased 
several times, the program writes more and bolshe.A crisis so 
we general help-price pisishny trash tripled, and the Spectrum 
or remained at the previous level, or increased by no more than 
a half raza.A Spectrum users, for example in our town, has more 
than three (3) raza.Tak about any bending of the Spectrum can 
go rech.Tak that more crises large and malenkih.Voobsche 
something nehotelos would of course, but if no other way to 
raise the Spectrum to decent values ​​are not exists, then any 
suitable means. So read, reason and the main

Think that does not turn into a mindless polzovateley.Hotelos 
would only add that this is just my opinion and it is may not 
necessarily reflect the views of other members of our group.
