     And again in the battle ...
__________________________________________


   Well myi back to you, reader!
Considerable period has passed since the last
our meeting and we thank you that
do not forget that it is not given up hope to meet again.

   A lot and we have changed, fortunately,
mostly for the better. The editorial
added a new member. And here it is
itself, meet, his name is Teddy.
He will travel magazine
vmestes you, escorting you and
fun. :)

   Predictions have not come true skeptics - our favorite 
Spectrum lived up to the new century, and even before the new 
millennium. Because enthusiasm can not be killed by any 
rational argument - he is his own reward, and requests it 
small. And if anyone had left our ranks, then in its place came 
others, full of strength and desire to create. 

   1999 in terms of major projects was
not very fruitful, but it is in the order of things, because 
the timing of such projects (especially if everything is done 
by one man) takes 2-3 years, but

I can say unequivocally that such projects
is, work on them is, in its
time, we do uzreem. ;)

   CC'99 a festival in St. Petersburg. Unfortunately, no one 
there from Kharkov unable to attend - it's too far

this is from our city! : (And as for the
We believe the festival has failed, we are in favor of the 2000
no CC, and Funtop, in Moscow. As for demos
promise we will not - not our profile, but
quite possible that the Rst # 7 will meet with the forces and 
prepare for such a significant event, as Funtop 2000, 
long-promised Eye Ache 2000 ... 

   Razuzh conversation went on dates, explain the exact release 
date for this issue. In fact, almost all articles (except this) 
were written in 1999, and finally "Collected" in December 1999. 
It only remained to "drive" them in the shell, install and test 
the defense magazine, but ... us prevented the virus. Moreover, 
not a computer, and the most that neither is trivial - the flu.

First, it is a two-week strike down
Mechanic'a then Jam'a, and as a result
found that to be published the magazine had been in the new 
millennium. And yet we decided in 1999 to specify on labels, 
because in 2000 already promises to release The fifth number. ;)


   We are often asked about the status of
Spectrum in Kharkov. Well, we can
say that the number of users has remained at approximately the 
same level as in Last year, there are even cases where people 
come with cassette Spectrum and asked to expand the memory, and 
connect the drive. :)) 

   But with the Kharkov scene things
worse: most of the "old" left
platform, and "youth" has not yet won
enough experience. That's because
it get a temporary downtime. And all
same general outlook favorable - already 
namechayutsyapervyesdvigi. The main thing is that there is 
people who still want to do something and as long as they are, 
the Spectrum will live! 

   An increasing number of Spectrum Networks
CIS. Now many people have access to and Fido, and in Internet. 
It seems to be this good, but noticed a very bad tendency

by hackers - to break fresh and soft
spread, such as the Internet, and
inogdachut if not simultaneously with
author's version. We will not give names of those who do it 
themselves on know it. We just want to remind those

people that by doing so, they
cut down the branch on which they themselves fit. That
they wonder, will break, when people
generally no longer anything to create? If
there is a desire to work actively, not obyazatelnozhe hack! Is 
it not better to make a useful sistemku, or a game demo, 
finally? 

   And finally I would like to raise one
important topic. This is the problem of isolation, "provincial" 
spektrumistov. K our office always treat people

wishing to find partners for
own projects, many are simply unwilling
correspond, as often the case that
small town or village of
users Spectrum calculated ones. And sometimes it also happens 
that people Proston aware of the existence of "brothers

for the Spectrum in his native region. Therefore, we
want to appeal to all concerned
Banking: read the topic "Advertising" addresses 
zhelayuschihzavyazat contacts may be you will find a way make 
new friends, you will discover the missing coders, musicians, 
artists ... 

   As an amusing example, I can tell the following story. One 
Kharkov sinklerist enrolled to study at university, here in 
Kharkiv. And once on the same boring lecture, he climbed on the 
back series, and scrawled phrases like "Spektrumisty revoke! If 
someone else is sitting on this computer, ask at the N-th group

Ivan Ivanov. "And what do you think? A
some time to it for students
the same university, and it turns out that he had
Several years of experience in Spectrum, and even made a few 
interesting projects. 

   So go ahead, do not let your dreams
mire commonplace, remember
that Spectrum - is the platform on which you can implement 
yourself, you can poluchitto thing anywhere else, and never 
find. 

   Good luck to you and see you!
