FunTop98 - that did not happen.

        On the air column
    "Unplanned crap"



   ... On the Radio "SNC", from the repertoire of which these 
things, and borrowed the name was also "planned" ... Well, this 
is the most. Crap. We, of course, nothing like that planned, 
but where without it, dear? .. :-( (


   The loudest (in terms of decibels ZX.SPECTRUM and, obviously,
in essence) a puncture - it misses the FT a few pre-registered 
works. Our wine this is certain: we must was, of course, does 
not accumulate an application from one person up to the last 
few days, and duplicate them for at least two internet address, 
then it would be that simultaneous loss of connection to the 
Internet Andrei Savicheva, Alexey Ivanov and I would have led 
to delays Delivery only those works that came after

the official registration deadline. And they suffered and those 
who have registered their work on time. It remains only to once 
again apologize to the authors neprodemonstrirovannyh works. 
There were simply too late to work - for example, e-mail 
messages with disks of Computer Rats Group of Kurgan and from 
Andrey Kashin from suburban hills (Dmitrov district) came after 
the FT. All latecomers will be included in the collections of 
the festival (unless, of course, their authors have not raised 
an objection). 

   In the heat of emotion during the ceremony it was announced
and then "happily" forgotten quite an important matter - the 
publication of the "copyright" used at the Festival of symbols. 
In this room all the 4's have been named in the second chapter 
("The Path to FunTop-y"). By the way, Ilya Ivanov, announces 
the results of the competition posters in the evening on August 
22 simply misspoke, competition logos was originally declared 
the unofficial, informal, non-Compo FT98; write about it and 
ehah and Nicron-e. Sorry for the misunderstanding.


   Truly a sharp detective whirled around the results of the 
competition schedules. Fortunately, correct the error of 
counting votes was quite easy and most importantly, without any 
consequences. For greater certainty Ilya Ivanov, led the final 
outcome, reexamined the results and the other three components 
- O'k. 

   Blindly copied our song contest, held
on "traditional" scheme, obviously, has demonstrated its 
complete failure. People's opinion, both the authors and 
spectators were unanimous: the contest is needed, but the 
principle of its organization and conduct of must be radically 
changed. How? The debate is open, say, you listen to ...


   Absence from FunTop-e official service accommodating guests
explained by one single factor: Well we have no friend
Commandant of some "hostel" where people could live a couple of
nights for free. That's gone, and that's it! ;-) And to settle 
in hotels or apartments at ZXNet-ovtsev not need a "good uncle" 
which would be led by the hand - in the first case, and so 
welcome, would be money, while the second - many of the guests 
really agreed with his friends in Moscow and lived happily in

them. The world is not without good people, but they may not be 
enough at all! ;)
