  Proton

  Moscow Independent Electronic

     Weekly Publication


  Editorial: EVP-SOFT, Klim Gromov,

               SANDMAN.

  The approximate amount of text - 33K.


  Regular Sections:

  - The introduction (which contains, as a rule,
arguments about the weather and the mood-editor);

  - Moscow News ZX-Net (the usual subjects - the same as in the 
"Introduction"); 

  - A list of BBS (backup list NICRON'a);

  - Useful advice;

  - Litstranichka;

  - Advertising.


  On "Litstranichke" should stay
separately. The fact is that, judging by the latest
releases it to the newspaper - the main thing.
Put down here, I would divide into three types:

  - Pretty good examples, as I would
it's called, "DOS-folklore" (however, this
genre deserves a separate discussion);

  - "Thrillers" such as "He wanted to smudge
I was on the floor. I hit him exactly in the jaw. His blood 
splattered on the wall ... I saw the bestial grimace of pain 
and anger. To kill him was the same as killing a cockroach ";


  - Jokes, anecdotes, and once again anekdoty, sometimes 
occupying almost the entire volume of the newspaper. 

  Let's consider a fairly typical
PROTON'a issue.

  Jokes. 11.3K


  A little - about the Net ", and in most
her - "a two-meter beard." At the same time
everything here is placed, has one characteristic: to "drag" on
such, it is necessary to have a very specific sense of humor 
too. 


  The newspaper was conceived as a publication for 
"zheleznyachkov and competitor NICRON'a. Healthy competition - 
believes edition PROTON'a - a positive impact on both papers.

Well, if you compare them, then the positive
for NICRON'a results - is available. What
to PROTON'a, then ...

  Let me ask a naive question: could
in order to get information, such facilities in the above issue,
Necessarily need ZX-newspaper?
