   New Electronic Journal "Passion"


   On the subject of electronic media among the most 
spektrumistov formed rigid stereotypes: an electronic 
periodical, created on the Spectrum, shall be devoted 
exclusively Spectrum. To some extent, this approach to choice 
of subjects was probably justified in during the shock of the 
disappearance of "Inforkom. Not undertake to fully 
characterize, the more - to analyze avalanche

increase in the number of electronic journals and newspapers, 
appearing in different parts of Russia, but some thought this 
phenomenon suggests: people need not only strong a result of 
new information, but also to exchange information. Centre clash 
of opinions, exchange of experiences, correspondence readers 
disappeared instantaneously across Russia came a chorus of 
voices claiming to be his unwillingness to clamp previously 
open their horizons. However, local e-journals began to appear 
long before, in January 1997 Last year went Printing Room

"ZX-Revue." And it confirms once again
thesis of the people's desire to share with others
their acquired experience. Can not
absolutely assert, and the fact that the Spectrum did not 
appear any other than purely Spectrum orientation, newspapers 
and magazines. However, this is the exception rather

the general rule. It is understandable ... External motivation 
for creating a new Magazine is striving to meet

demand for information on Spectrum, which
in fact, too little, which is fragmented, systematized and
stored sometimes in such exotic places that an ordinary user has
the vaguest idea. However, within
Each of us sits another "spring"
actuates a mechanism of creation,
- This desire to express themselves, to self-realization, a J. 
It is this commitment and encourages most people to write new 
membrane for new magazines, subtly suggesting granted 
opportunity to share their achievements with a wider audience, 
tempting experience himself as a journalist. If the people 
writing for the Spectrum or the Spectrum, given the chance to 
prove themselves with an excess, for users who can only work 
with applications such chances are practically zero. Electronic 
Journal "Passion" is intended to correct this blatant injustice 
to the great tribe members, for whom (and hoping for it), in 
fact, afoot to develop new models of computers and writing new 
programs. 

   The concept of "passion" is such
that the appearance in its pages any topic
whether it is connected to a computer Spectrum
or, conversely, will not have anything to do with computers in 
general, does not seem invasion of a foreign body in the 
general content of the magazine. Now we create the content 
based on hobbies (hobby) of each member of the editorial staff. 
Approach to collect relevant material: each

Member of Editorial Board is the lead of his
section, ie is its sovereign
host and author. How to be heading -
from content to structure and sub-
Headings (including registration) - fully
depends on the will, skill and dedication of the leader. Thus, 
our magazine is essentially a collection of mini-magazines 
united by one defining characteristic - dedication of each of 
its editors theme. Agree that the opportunity to prove 
themselves on the pages of "Passion" is available virtually 
every lover of Spectrum, regardless of his qualifications as 
programmer or circuitry. Limitations Still there: we do not 
publish individual articles if the journal is no corresponding 
section, the leading candidates to be installed on probation. 

   To date, contents of the first
issue of "Passion" is almost
formed and includes the sections:

- Stars (Tatiana Krotov) - the stars of world
  Vågå movies, pop music;
- Alarm (Iogan) - rock music, philosophy,

  religion of peace;
- The X-Files (ALF Gordon) - UFO

  anomalies;
- From the book ... (SWdZ) - bibliography, libraries
  liofilstvo;
- ZX-game (A. Parazit) - no comment;
- Software application.


   Until now, unfortunately, has not been finally resolved the 
issue with the shell. Program Page Maker Cyril Mills for the 
assembly of electronic publications, which, in fact, We relied, 
did not provide an extensive menu structure. So that the output 
the first issue may be delayed. There are some difficulties 
with the text to the design. However, we do not hopeful of a 
favorable outcome of events and invite all comers. In the first 
issue will be published the addresses of all the editors, but 
now you can write: 


      656057 Barnaul,

             POBox 3418.
