(C) SIR-X



   Well hello, my dear!

   Thank you for reading this nonsense
and thank you twice, if you finish reading to the end.

   I would like to talk about one topic,
is that recently more and more talk and less the case. 
Immediately make a reservation, I am not a coder, and the final 
user of all that is created. So do not should reproach, that 
the pier, and the fact that, etc. 

   The reason for writing this manuscript
was the reading of the mass of electronic journals and 
newspapers for SPECCY, as well as the creation firm "NEMO", 
which is called "OPEN LETTERS". 

   So, first things first. For anyone
no secret that software for SPECCY created little, and each new 
(good) program as balm on the wounds for him. And what is 
happening around? Sea promises (yes, we, yes I, yes we will 
turn the mountain, soon a release, you just wait). Well, wait, 
wait. I. .. nothing. In a recent "ZX-News" has been

published a list of projects, "lying on
deathbed. "Have not seen? Look, do not
Is it true impressive? And if at least one-third
came out of it, SPECCY would be above the head and probably 
would be less than the outflow of personnel to other platforms. 
With all due respect VK Mednonogovu, when will we see FT-2,

half of the country, probably waiting for. If you've finally 
decided to leave SPECCY, it not better to speak openly about 
it, that is neither CV-2 or new projects. After all, every not 
finished (but I promise!) project is another blow to SPECCY. 
[According to the latest According to CV-2 will be, but do not 
know when. - Ca. Ed.] Guys from DIGITAL REALITY, ay,

by mail do not reply, and the steep phrases
DOOM prereliz loader to write (though
has long been, but ...). If everything is so simple
was, then why not released the full game? No offense, but I 
just can not understand why the promise. On this subject there 
was an article in the ZX-FORMAT # 8. It V. Mednonogov explained 
as an example CV's why sometimes delay There are exit programs, 
but I mean "Do not say ho unless pereprygnesh.

Ie not sure - do not promise.

   Next, a few thoughts about the OPEN
LETTERS. I had a mind to order payment
KAU1024, but after reading got sick. I
sufficiently educated man, but all
time and place. Ie from a literary point
view I am interested to read opus B. Skutina, but from a 
technical point of view ... When instead of a simple answer to 
the rather simple question begins: "In terms of

commonplace erudition ... "In a word sometimes
even lose hope to read a specific
response. And it is not clear to me attitude Vyacheslav (NEMO) 
for everything that is connected to a PC. I do not going to 
learn to live Vyacheslav, he gave me older and more 
experienced, but what to do if Claudia's film almost did not 
find - exit pc-Claudia, pc-mouse, etc. A IS-DOS does

no modifications of MS-DOS PC? Or drives
3.5. "Vyacheslav said that on the drive,
that his firm sells the hardware is off 1.44, that-be in his 
words, there was no possibility of its full operation on the 
pc-compatible machines. Recently seen an advertisement Deja Vu 
# 10 (thanks Vel'u) it says that there will be an article on 
the finalization of the controller to work with HD disks, and 
if it (the scheme) will be standing that will say those who 
have purchased drives from NEMO? Correct: "Thank you Uncle 
Glory, for your concern! "Takzhe do not understand my "attacks" 
NEMO to SCORPION, judging by the publications Vyacheslav 
raboral himself in this company, and the number of programs are 
not going to CAU judging around more (referred to UFOs

and BATTLE COMMAND).

   So to summarize. Huge request to
all: if something is promise - do, not
sure - do not promise. Do not cling to the words, examples, 
take it, what first occurred come. I apologize if anyone 
offended. Written not for the insult, but because that: "For 
power offensively, as they say. Low prostration to everyone who 
is mentioned in the article, as well as all others who did

and does things that make our SPECCY, despite his age, is still 
ahead of the rest. 


                              Sincerely,

                                    SIR X.


   P.S. Following the publication of a list of "deathbed" in 
the ZX-News # 50 was NFORMATION that LAV from SOFTLAND 
announced resumption of the second part

Winnie the Pooh. On this occasion, we can (should)
first in this paper to put smiley.
Here it :))))

   All right, bye-bye!!!
