                         Marasmus was intense ...



   About demomeykerstve, rather, on the demos.


   Dear Sirs! On this occasion,
I decided to write about some "little things" that are 
suffering very much, in principle, fully working demo is good,

and often steep programs.

   Actually, it will be about one.

   How often, driving one or another demo,
you see on the site selected operation (or
instead of) cool written explanation:


    TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN FULL VERSION

                / FUTURE /

                    ?



   I think (perhaps rightly) that
everything stated in this release should be
be, and place the inscription - in the help
(Even embedded) in the intro, Read_Me
etc., but not in the product, whatever it
was not.

   And how do you think?


              On standards.



   Digesting another batch of press,
again running into the next Standard of next standardizer ...

   For heaven's sake, how much can you cut this topic. GOST'a 
not and will not, and a framework beyond which no longer 
SPECTRUM SPECTRUM'om. This is a Z80 (or equivalent) ports # FE, 
# 7FFD; of the screen (and O TV-standard) firmware and 
accommodation ROM (or whatever replaces it), work the keyboard. 

   On what will be the next standard
or not, your "Taganrog", "Pentagon", "ATM"
"Scorpion," "Professional", "Next" or some other kind "EkZX" 
will not be round or square, and the introduction of new bells 
and whistles do more headaches and another war

"Standards" does not bring. (Recall
as suggested, for example, interfaces
printer to replace the existing, or "mouse
fuss, "" war on modems, and on expanding
Memory can defend his doctoral).

   I think that the "right to life" is any machine, if it is 
done and working. AND should not introduce new ports, ROM, etc.

without very good reason, it is better to get accustomed to the 
existing. 


    ... RULES!


           Sir and ma'am!


   Want to learn about another application
Your Spectrum? DIVING BOARDS! Want-to
PC, and you want - on the AMIGA, and if you really want, then 
the RC-86! Do not forget to shout: 

   - ... RULES!!! -("..." Depends on
which met).

   You will not? Yes, and I do enough
completely.


           On the demos at all ...



   Looking at the play of plasmas, jumping into
all directions balls, sinusoids and various scrolls, fully 
support DANIEL'a opinion: - We shall have to be terminal! And 
in this aspect, the steepest demami are, paradoxically,

e-journals. Truly, this is where a lot of clever effects becomes
something meaningful and subordination to a single plan of 
creation, delighting the eye and ear, combining business with 
pleasure. 

   Especially interesting in this regard for
me were: ZX-FORMAT, ZX-POWER, FLASH
TIME, ELEMENT, SPECTRUM-EXPERT, DEJA VU and
ZX-REVIEW (special case: it is not a eulogy,
but hopefully, not a requiem).

P.S. Posted on ZX-REVIEW, and remembered: When working on it 
(sorting and packaging that a lot of texts that I had - it is 
filing for 1995 - 1996 years), found that none a text editor 
that does not cut the tail text, I was not. Furthermore 
iS-EDIT. So began my third In the advent of iS-DOS. There I 
made myself something more or less resembling the shell.


   Why would it? - You ask?

   Simply, it is probably the easiest
way, try your hand at this kind of
activities. Then you can lick the hull of an arbitrarily time, 
suspending and removing the necessary and unnecessary, but it 
will work without any problems.


   Generally, in recently iS-DOS makes me more and more 
interest. iS-DOS and Pink Floyd. The first and hope someone 
else has already wrote the arrow and Kempston joystick, someone

- Cool music editor for Sound
Drive, (such as FLASH TRACKER, but with
arrow and removable drives), one-HTMLvyuer; for the 
second-normal direction: as "easy" to write under it, and how

yet it plainly to configure (I have version 2.31 and when you 
run the Profi and the Pentagon, "name-calling" KAY / Scorp 'om 
all consequences).

P.P.S. A little about myself.

   I am 33 years, creation of Knights of the Round
Wallpaper of Her Majesty Queen internetwork Kingdom of Great 
Britain and Northern Elizabeth Ireland, Sir Clive doing

already 10 years. Basically, the user, sometimes a hacker (when 
it comes to programs, visnuschih, despite all the assurances of 
the authors). Interest lies in music (digital), graphics, 
networking and hardware. 

   My machine - Profi v3.2 with ROM v2.0, FDD
3.5'', 5.25'', 512Kb; Pentagon 128, FDD
5.25'', Kempston-joystick, AY, SoundDrive;
CGA-Monitor. Its share with my daughter. Would
grateful to those who would help connect
MFM-screw ST-225 for Profi (20Mb, from ES1847).
Of course, the old, but the other can not afford.


   In conclusion, I am sorry if offended anyone. No evil 
intent. Simply stated a little bit, that pent up. Time goes by 
and more it goes into rulesy and less in the case. Spectrum 
died for those who wanted to bury him. With no obvious 
successor: whether it is not particularly sparkling intellect 
bus, or twice removed cousin gnaw wiseacre. 

   And remember Andersen? - "And when the court went into the 
bedroom to say goodbye, the emperor suddenly stood up and said: 

   - Good morning.
