  ... On the eve of the beautiful spring holiday fate would 
have it, on sisopnike Izmailovo met Maria and The Left Your 
humble correspondent ;-), and the latter was carrying a tape 
recorder, which was recorded and published by interviews with 
the following first Moscow spektrumistkoy-sysop Maria ... The 
joke, of course. The meeting was planned in advance. :-) 

  Who does not know Mary? Hardly now find spektrumista who
have not heard that name in conjunction with the now 
traditional pseudonym "The Left"! First in Moscow girl sysop on 
Spectrum BBS, the permanent owner and member network "hangouts" 
... But it probably should explain. "Party" within the meaning 
of the Moscow spektrumista - is something special, interesting 
and exciting, if not leaving their apartments, get together 
sometimes dozens of people to exchange short letters, jokes, In 
general, the really hang out in the best sense of the word. For 
the organization of "hangouts" are needed not only willing to 
participate, but needed the server, which will take place 
through an exchange of letters. Technology hangouts on the 
basis of CDOS is simple: download the disk server everything, 
decouples, calmly read through all that you wrote before you 
write your own text, again dial in to the server and download 
your email. Since rave "messagi" short - just 2.1 sectors, the 
server does not is busy for a long time, and you can get 
through pretty easily. It turns the conversation almost in real 
time. Participants hangouts can subscribe any names, and often 
difficult to understand Do not hide behind klikuhoy sounding 
familiar to you people. But that just interesting. 

  ... Enlight'97 brought together friends, acquaintances among 
themselves only by correspondence, has opened people to each 
other, as everybody knows. AND Maria was there too.


  In the world of weaving virtual reality, and reality simply 
the passage of time quirky and unpredictable. The legend and 
history is still present. Lives Spectrum, live network Maria's 
server. Congratulations, Mary! 



WB: Mary, the first thing I want to congratulate you on your 
upcoming holiday March 8! 

M: Thank you!

WB: Masha, you are online for two years already, probably, all 
the while working Your server ...


M: Server and a half years running.

WB: ... And now you know about the world.

M: Create a server I was advised to sisopnike. Said that
it's more convenient, letters themselves come to be. Because at 
that time I was studying, I had to rest at night. So I decided 
to put the server, so that people themselves called me and 
pumped. 

WB: Is there anything memorable for those two years in 
particular? 

M: Enlight, of course. And sisopnik when my birthday is 
celebrated. 

WB: And in the future plans, as I understand, "Spectrum - rulez 
forever" ;-)? 

M: Sure. Nothing will replace.

WB: What about now "hangouts" are? As before, or something 
changed? People have become more interesting? 

M: People are now standing on it. New does not appear, but old 
and not going anywhere. In principle, now all is quiet ... 

WB: You now can say, "zaveduete" newspaper MODERN, which has an 
easily recognizable face - you're there publish their own 
stories of copyrights, such as parables, fairy tales. They were 
born because of the fact that there is a network, newspaper, or 
they could appear just like that?


M: The stories I write, because I, as the saying goes, the rich
imagination. But perhaps I would not write them, if not
knew that they would be read.

WB: I recently just poems sling ink ... :-)

M: I would like to emphasize that "MODERN A", which all saw
was issued without my knowledge. I hope that it will disappear.

WB: I withdrew it from the server immediately, as soon as I was 
informed reason.


WB: Your leadership in ZXNet is undeniable, but when you come in
network and other representatives of the fairer sex :-), and I 
bring greetings on the occasion, of course, and for them. 

M: And hello from me. Never mind, next time we all of ZXNet
February 23, congratulate! ;-) Get together with Katy, and we 
all ring up! :-)


WB: Thank you!
