                     We seem to move

                     Is always the same

 Well, that's the continuation of my story ...

 It has been over two months since the start of "yuzaniya" my 
Amiga. Since then, was allowed a whole bunch of problems with it

related, there are new, there was a whole "series" of specific 
issues, and of etc. It is good to whom they can be solved.

 They sent me a couple of issues of journals
"Amiga Rulez" (1-2) and the New Amiga "(0).
Managed to "read a lot" - "AMIGA # 1" with the idea
would be nice to yourself and a zaimet.
 Yet during this period I was able to "upgrade" to the 
expansion board "up to 4 Mb" (ELSAT "E1204"), that is to say 
had the opportunity to prochustvovat appreciable difference 
"naked" machines and "extended".

 Because basically I had a "fresh"
software, the percentage of launching software
rose sharply after the addition of FAST
memory, and productivity increased, and because software, by 
and large, not hungry for computer resources, such

configuration, imho, for the eye rather
for more or less useful work.
 By the way, from about 50 demos were with
I was at this time without Axel worked
30.
 I, for example, to access InterNet'y
- Enough, YAM + Mail Manager + 2400 bps
I mean, calling a friend on the "server", which
picks up my mail from Net'a, and pull her to
currently at 300 cps. "Cheap and convenient. :)
 By the way - YAM me from 13.03.1999 (for files of a TCP / IP 
connections).  And so it went for six weeks, and the

Last week I set myself axel
Blizzard 1230/50 (the only - he
yet without FPU: () and stuck to it
16 meters (72pin) memory. So again
time to go to Joker'y for
"NAPAL" 'IOM, and the emulator at the same time MAC'a
run:) By the way - hello to Serge!
 Yesterday tried to start the emulsion ZX'a -
I have available so far only 0.17
version, although the 0.20-I had already gone a long time,
simply did not have to - that's not interested. And in general 
- for fun. Stand near Spectrum 'Amiga. Launched emulsion -

on the same monitor such as b and ZX, en
No - Amiga. And - Figures differences on

looks much nicer than the analogues
on the PC, where most Spekovsky
screen looks "square", I mean
point - a square.
 Someone once said that the software is not enough.
I can give a little "advice". Makes sense
Who he really needed his search
at the bottom of Baltika 4 ", and in solitude
it is not worth doing:). And, believe me, you can become 
addicted: *)  In a short time at the request of "sympathy" 8 *) 
going pozapisyvat different demos on video, so wait ...


So in a nutshell hard'e now I have standing:

A1200 in the ATX-Tower'e. Claudia curtailed under
width pts'shnoy. Accelerator Blizzard
1230/50 + 16 Mb. Home - 3'5 FDD 880Kb.
Screw - 850 Mb, is in the mobil rack. Screw
40 Mb - "imprisoned" by the HRC. CD Samsung 8x.
Modem - GVC 2400 V.42bis/MNP5. Audio
Output - 2 x 25 watts. Monitor - Electronics
1932 WTC 201.


Well, a couple of numbers it looks like this:


   A1200T / 1230/50 / 16/850/8xCD/2400


In general - you can live!
