     I decided today to tell you how
I got acquainted with the various computers.
The truth is I'm totally not a word
tell you how I became acquainted with
Spectrum, as this topic deserves
separate discussion.


     It all began in 1992 when I
went to the CPC in a class of computers. For a couple of
months before I bought the Spectrum
Brand Taganrog 128, of course,
cassette. And I bought it just for
Language Learning Basic. Okay, about my
activities at the Spectrum, I will write in
the next issue, and now continue
conversation. Well, there I was the first time
I saw more than a real computer -
with a floppy drive, a printer. This was
Computer DCK 4. There are funny
keys were - on the springs, BASIC must
was downloaded from a floppy disk, floppy drives have been
180 kb. Shorter than the full rulez. There's even
Several toys were. At a wheelbarrow I
worked for a year, learning BASIC.


     Then I moved to a more powerful
Machine UKNZ. Now that's really
was a professional machine. Built-in
BASIC, a normal graphic screen,
normalnue drives at 720 kb. Shorter
was much steeper than DCK 4. On this map
completely mastered the BASIC and even something
able to help him do that.


     Then I saw two. To
time it was just cool. Immediately
that catches the eye - is
Professional Shell MS Dos. First
game, gone at this miracle, was
Naturally, Tank Wars. Imagine,
how cool it was in 1993. True
work at two in the CPC, I did not have time -
ended period of training in two years.


     Here I want to say that I even wanted to
once buy a top box, type
Dendy, even the money paid, but in time
senses.


     Here in our school put
Quartet. For 95 years it was something.
True monitors were black and white on
14'', the memory of 4 meters. In short, as
appeared later, at a little Lager
run. Well, okay, that was, at
and that worked. And I worked on them as much
two years. Fully examined the MS Dos,
figured with text and image
editors. Well, naturally,
played a little free time. But
Even then, I have a
suspicious doubt with
the use of machines of this class. I do not
could not understand how the machine with
not weak or little resources
retarding, at best, or
just nemeryannom brakes, at worst.
