New vyposk - Life is the platform continues, and next year will not be the last for the Spectrum!

          Love sour soup, the dream of a slop bucket

          And the expectation of a miracle pulls a stone on the 
bottom. 

          Here in general have nothing to do except to eat,

          It scared of being killed, but terrible to kill.

          And really want to put his hands on himself, but I'll 
live!

      rivetstvuyu you my dear readers!
Ceychas you see before you is not one
somebody long awaited new issue
IZHNEWS, but only a little in between, festive room, which was 
released for to congratulate all the zx stage, and

hence you a happy New
Year and Christmas. In today's issue,
In addition to traditional on this occasion, congratulations, I 
would like to summarize the past year. How was it for IZHNEWS 
and of course for the scene in general. Of course I do not 
pritenduyu the completeness of its analysis, and I will not go 
into details. Thus, my results may seem unfounded, but

I'm really just so I see the current environment within the 
zx-scene, and you remains, or agree with me or make a more 
detailed analysis ... 

   And so, despite a certain stiffness
our favorite platform, the life on it on
still warm. And last year this is direct evidence. 2oo1 year
patiynym was the year for the last time, because many festivals 
held computer, remember all their names, not everyone of course 
is hardly an abundance of similar events in the development of 
a huge plus creativity, since they do not all have been in

along the lines in which the thought of their organizers, but 
of course each of them left a mark on the thorny path march

our beloved old man zx ... And let the sting logti those who 
predicted his death because if you're reading this

text, not about any death we can not speak ... The life of the 
platform continues, and I think next year will not be the last 
for the Spectrum, as there is at least one man to whom he is 
dear to the platform will exist. Although what principle the I 
tell you this, because you certainly heard it many times and 
are confident in my words, as if it's your own thousand times 
spoken to hundreds of times heartfelt words ... After all, 
every new day when you turn on your sterenky Spectrum, touching 
familiar to you is not the first day of learned and memorized 
the keyboard, to You'll receive one thought: still working

my zx, while it works with my friends and
we are with them doing it is something that
drags us and like others, our Spectrum will live!

   Okay, I do not want you to feel some pressure from my side, 
whether I'm trying to convince you that what you have

do not believe or can not believe, if it
so, then you should not read this on, so
how it will be for you a waste of time and you will gather here 
not absolutely anything that will help you in the future that

somehow lift your spirits and give
forces for new cases ... It seems I'm a bit distracted, perhaps 
I will continue my modest analysis ... 

   Abundance of principle the party is not the most
the main point of a successful living platform to another and 
the existence of new software, probably it distinguishes the 
living from the dead platform. What can to say about this? Of 
course, I will not Lie to you, then things are not the best 
way, at least not as I would like all of us. Enthusiasts, who 
are still capable and have the desire to throw on their 
shoulders the major projects, almost no, in principle, these 
enthusiasts are the same ones from whom platform is still 
breathing. But even so, Last year graced us with the release of 
new projects. For example in the zx-zine scene

burned a number of new stars, one of them
is a new scene magazine SCREAM.
How many conversations around this hodilo
project, some people said that this is not
others said that the magazine SUPER, but
I think the most important thing is the purpose of publication
Crick, that is combined into a single unit
the whole scene. Although lately kazhettsya that this star is 
not having time to ignite the beginning slowly but surely fade, 
because as known loudly declared out of the next number after 
three months are to release of the previous did not take place 
and now the fate of the magazine is shrouded in mystery. But I 
do not advise those who are waiting out the next issue to 
become despondent, let's wait a little more and I think that in 
the coming year we will have a surprise ... 

   No less than pleasant surprise and will be out next issue, 
one of the best magazines of all time

zx-platform - ADVENTURER. 13 mysterious and
the long-awaited issue of the magazine, which promises to 
produce a sensation is about to come. I think its release 
eagerly awaiting many including me ... I would say more, 
ADVENTURER has long Porojan me with its quality and originality 
of ideas, and even hard to imagine what awaits us at number 13. 
Zhdems. 

  Just continues its march else
less important for the scene zine-project - Insanity. So 
recently released 10 number, more detail about it I will make 
in 13 rooms IZHNEWS, but now I will say that Insanity is also 
one of the best zine-projects and for the past

rooms, keeps a high level of ipolneniya
both materials and design. Special
godsend for Insanity, is sometimes too abstruse, but in general 
has always faithfully reflects the surrounding reality syllable 
Survivor'a. Feels educated person and a great responsibility 
for each spoken word and rightly so, since

Currently only the word, not an empty phrase
able to convey to whom it was meant to invest in it meaning ...

   Just added several new newspapers,
which may in future be able to take
rightful place in the genre is Target,
ZARULEM, ZX-Time and several others. Especially
I would like to note ZX-Time, as this
Newspaper progresiruet considerably from room to
number and has an enviable Periodicity
exit.

   And of course continue to publish, albeit with a rare all 
Periodicity previously published papers.


   Now, what regards to sitemnogo software, in principle 
problemma its lack is not worth as acute as for example with 
new games. During the existence of written Spectrum

huge set of utilities that have not lost its relevance today. 
But even despite the abundance of old system

software, the last year has added several new systemic program 
in a huge archive utilities.

 For example, slowly but surely moving in the people soundcard 
General Sound, under which is written a few players and a great 
music editor, made many alterations of old, but not worst toys, 
under the excellent sound capabilities of this card ... 

   A new version of Real Commandera,
several utilities to work with the disk, several variations 
ProTrackera and many more something useful ... In general there 
much difficulty and crisis, I do not watch ... 

   Well, perhaps it's time to tell you how
the case at last year's deal with gaming software
for our beloved Spectrum ... Here I
and referred to earlier is not so good. Authors
stopped, practically ceased to be taken
for large projects, delighting us for more
part of the implementation of the logic of toys and
as we would like to see something like
Black Crow, Star Heritage, Last
Battle, Laser Squard, UFO's and many other
masterpieces of the past ...

   Certainly the authors are not difficult to understand, 
because implementation of such projects requires a lot of

experience, time and effort, and everything that they proposed 
the return, it is only the recognition and admiration of 
grateful users. After ago is no longer news that the writing 
software in Russia and tembolee on the Spectrum of money do 
not, our mentality will not allow this. Or maybe even so should 
make an effort and try to overcome all their habits, including 
the most pernicious attachment to the free cheese? After the 
New Year is always favorable to change for the better, 
therefore I advise you to another time to reflect on the fact 
that free cheese happens only in a mousetrap. And do not mind 
me what to say simply, but in fact, and I'm the same as all ... 
Yes maybe so, but I assure you, that would have spared no money 
to buy such Black Raven II and his like games with

provided that the price will be fitting the quality ...

   Well Well despite all of the above
last year for the Spectrum was not so
and bad, everything was okay, everything changes, any change is 
always important stage of development. After all, if there is no

something bad before, we were not prepared to
something bad later, the same goes for good ... Therefore I 
think you perceive 2oo1 year as another year in development 
platform, which, unfortunately, and perhaps fortunately came to 
its logical conclusion, and gave place to a new year 2oo2 ... 
Sure is hard to imagine how New Year's will for zx, because 
everything will depend only on us, of our patience and desire 
... 

   And finally how does the past year was
for IZHNEWS and for those of us who are working on that with 
the inception of the idea publish Izhevsk Gazette ...


  Yes, it's not sad, but last year
was not the best for the paper, it is virtually
ceased to exist, but as
Strangely enough it was released in 2oo1 best
our room. With what is connected, our passivity in the 
publication of a newspaper? Perhaps it is extinguished 
interest, perhaps it's time constraints, and can we just grew 
up and we had new problemma ... We still three, although 
recently there considerable support,

vchastnosti by Himik's ZxZ, large
thank him for that. Thank you to those who have
support, without your Support Click Newspaper
newspaper would long ago have ceased to exist.

   Publishing of newspapers is not great, yet
less free time, which we can dedicate to creating the next room.
So from Pix'a no longer felt any kind of help in creating 
newspapers, RTD Though arhimedlenno, but continues to produce 
graphics and zanimatsya correction materials. Well, your humble 
servant NoViSeT as well as the possibility of preparing 
materials and layout of the newspaper. More not unimportant 
zamedlivayuschim factor is that the real Spectrum neither RTD, 
nor Pix'a now there, and my own zx several months are gathering 
dust in the form of broken-in one mountain craftsmen.


   But despite all of the above, I
I can assure you that the newspaper did not stop her
existence in the near future and it may already be in early 
2oo2 come next issue. 

   That's how I see the situation with
our newspaper, of course could tell you how things were in the 
year 2oo1 Izhevsk scene, but here except to periodically

flare showdown on who is steeper
and all took place in late March ASCii
virtually nothing to say. Izhevsk scene
highly immobile, there are people, but do not care
all scattered and nablyudaetya certain chaos.
Possibly scheduled for the spring party will be able to
move spektrumistov Izhevsk from the dead
point, but he still must live ... Gloomy word, except that 
PoS-WT regularly upgrading their portal on the Internet, but for

Real zx is very little in
benefit only the owners of the pc and the people who have
opportunity to visit on the Internet.

   And all is well and you should not indulge in
despair, we must do what you're wondering what gives you joy 
and do not pay attention to the fact that someone is 
indifferent or even funny, because once you understand the true 
value of your hobbies, and nothing else ... 

   And now perhaps it's time for that to congratulate all of 
you a happy Merry Christmas. I would like to wish all of you 
ladies and gentlemen Spektrumisty next year, more new ideas, 
and implemented projects, success in all your endeavors. Let 
2oo2 year will be better than previous ones, because each of us 
deserves it. Let all your problems will always have a permit 
(at least 256 * 195 pixels) and let them be on

as little as possible.

   And now the personal congratulations and words of farewell 
to our friends and just good people ... 

   PoS-WT ... Well, continue to upgrade
pos.izhnet.ru. Your portal is one of the best
Spectrum portals, and I am confident in the new year he will 
change only the best. Of course not many people still 
appreciate the importance of this project, but he did 
necessary. Just good luck with the rest of your projects and do 
not forget about the real Spectrum ... 

   TRG ... Hmm ... Where have you gone? Can not
be that you have no ideas and projects. I hope the new year you 
change your pofigizma its policy and will take over

implementation of any idea, at least
If the suggestion to join us and to assist with the release of
regular rooms IZHNEWS, still in force. It's time to wake up and 
Activities business ... 

   X-Team ... I really hope that
our common problems and grievances remain in
Last year and the new year will be a year of peace
and mutual respect. I would like to see
more of your new projects, because you
does have potential, which is not
must divide in vain. Be creative, it's time
budge Izhevsk zx-scene ...

   Techno Lab ... Where the same 15 KrNews? I hope this 
wonderful newspaper still delight us their new rooms. Nik-O 
your music is wonderful, I wish you in the new year best tracks 
and more. Hoping they will please spektrumistov from the pages 
of our newspapers and the pages KrNews a very long time.


   Delirium Tremens ... Sorry, that's up to you
reached a general pc'zatsiya, but despite
it's like to hope that in the coming
year, we still rejoice with your new work
at zx.

   Just wanted to wish you good luck in the New
Year and every success in the following groups and individuals
