  Zi holy you shanovni pani that gentlemen! West Happy 
Nezalezhnosti! 

 Good day all, dear readers computer
newspapers 'BREEZE'!
 So we have come to tame ..
ugh! .. until a knife ... ugh! ..
before the tenth (the anniversary) issue of our publication 
(tfutfu-tfu. ..). Would like to congratulate you, and us, too, 
with this auspicious occasion.

Wish you every success in
your, and our, creative endeavors, the clear sky
over his head and bug-free
Spectrum on the table. After all, the main problem - a bunch of
chips, whose elements
reason has always fly ... Well, come on. Until
all glory to God. I will not lament the fact that heart
only sweeter. And no AMIGA, no, pardon the expression, IBM, 
will not replace me My SPECCY. Incidentally, in the world

IBM'schikov another dog
joy: invented processor
with a clock frequency of 300 MHz.
That is happiness for you! And how quickly - already guys are 
showing! Kicks! Soon, perhaps, will

put the original pedal
brake (button 'TURBO' popular use is
will not). Upgrade your
stump to the point that eyes with
the other side of the monitor and begin to reap vylezut 
pedal'ku that in this posture for life does not stay.

 Once I talked to
on the market with one ... Yes, I am sorry that distracts,
but I want to give you an aphorism. So:

  Spektrumist sits on
Spectrum, Amizhnik sits on
Amiga and pisishnik, let
know on what you mean? .. A
if the stress on first syllable
supply? .. That's it. Go to the PC and will sit on the ...
 Where was I? .. So
Now, coming to a tray
a finch, a seemingly normal person inteligentny,
looking at the catalogs with games
and asks:
 - And what, still buying?
 - And how! - I answer.
 - I was already thinking all ...
 - No. For a long time ... And you
IBM? - I guess.
 - Yes. Once there was a Spectrum, but then I bought myself
IBM ... And even the 'DOOM' is? Pisishnik surprised to see
one of the directories with the inscription
"DOOM".
 - What do you think? - Proudly
I reply.
 - And as the chart? - Echidna
he asks.
 - Normal. As your
computer.
 -?! Can not be!
 - Well, a little worse, of course.
 - Ah ...

The silence lasted for about three minutes,
and then he spoke again.

 - Yes, in principle, Spectrum
already dying ...
 - Who told you?
 - Well, that is not visible? All
set themselves IBM. A Spectrum
Your where to apply?
 - And your IBM where you can apply?

 Honestly say that I have
just snapped.

 - Well, of course. Here in banks
Now only those computers and are, for the storage
database for different mathematical computations -
because the Spectrum for such purposes
You can not use.
 - Yes. In fact, it is impossible, but
that you're here you personally can
to do with their hands on a PC?
 - Come on in! Yeah ... hmm ... Oh ... I
personally I can write some
program.
 - What?
 - Well, there, to count ...

Next he somehow matyuknulsya,
then I realized that
This program will be a little something worthwhile.

 - And what language is it you
naprogrammiruete? Pascal? C? Or anything else?
 - I. ..
 - A 'Windows' on what your
written? Why it is called
gnarled monster?
 - Yes because it is.
There are so many different
errors.
 - And why they can not be
eliminated during the writing
the program itself?
 - Well, what do you think: 80
meter memory is easy to check? Here they are every year, and
released the new version.
Find errors, correct.
 - So there is a release
defective products?
 - You see, it is very difficult ...

 Next comes a hundred transfers, why it is difficult, but I
I want to say only one thing:
that those programs that
in great demand at
their users are being made,
pardon the expression, through
one place. Why 'Microsoft', whose 'Windows' is
almost every pisishnika could not cope with 80
meters, and the firm, released a toy 'Redneck Rampage', which 
occupies 360 meters for some reason with this problem handled? 
Why buying firm (!) Disk and it runs the program requires 
non-existing files? Why are soft, requiring for

their work is not less than 100 th
Pentium'a, hacked is workable for
482nd car?
 I can not wait that moment when I can get into
Internet and make it
pisyukam all right in the face of
Name spektrumista whose
Computers are machines for
do not believe!
 Why, I ask you,
Belousov, when released
its 'BELOUSOW KOMANDER' thought was to make
its shell as soon as a more convenient and without
glitches, which have abounded in his program? Why
Mednonogov at issue in
light of its 'UFO' has allowed
currently only allowed once (!!!) gaffe, and even then -
minor? And all because, my dear, that the word
"Authority" means the Spectrum in the world oh how much! This
at IBM, you can buy
drive from the company 'OCEAN', in
pieces which will be 20 games and
of which only 15 will be
work. And that's fine.
After hundreds of these discs, and
such companies - a thousand. And the program on an IBM myriad, 
none of whom will select high-quality

products - and why? Always
You can go out and buy something similar to what you
liked it very simply
capitalize on this money. A
then more money in producing a revised version.
I mean 'Windows'97
