Club Computer Spectrum
The problems, goals and plans
By dictionary definition, the club -
a public organization, the union preserves a group of people
to communicate, associated with any interests. Then
is to organize a club, need model, at least, to find
edinomyshlen nicknames willing to open to communication. C
community of interest among fans of the Spectrum a full order.
However, the Spectrum - a single large area of computer
world, with its own specific and original
history. The concept of "amateur Spectrum -
very capacious and requires a lot of refinement equations:
from the obvious - the overall level of com puter literacy -
the nuances, the nyatnyh only people familiar with the scheme
of technology.
Premise - the union edinomyshlen nicknames - is
inseparable from the underlying problem faced, perhaps all,
without exceptions, fans Spectrum - a deficit de communication.
For starters there is nowhere and no one to obtain the
advice of an introductory section, familiarity with which they
ought not, in the general fact, time-consuming, but practically
practically in most cases becomes stumbling block. Passing the
threshold complete ignorance, dipped into the stream is not
systematic, crude, and sometimes - simple outdated
information. And many - Sure of it - is composed of
impressions, which exists only for the Spectrum In order to
solve the problem of the Spectrum.
In fact, knowledge of the Spectrum
constantly evolving, thanks to the efforts
those same fans, and the computer itself an paratno still far
from exhausted its opportunities. But amateurism in our
days, it seems, is doomed to semi-underground
existence. All previously available Institute formational
channels tightly closed commercial information, interesting
except that Corporations. Subscriptions kata logs, newsstands,
bookstores - All left to the mercy of the race tovaroobo
company.
What should be the user, the OS voivshemu basics of
programming, or just to be elected by the internal computer at
hobby? Certainly ka qualitatively different levels and
literature, written by experts. At the same time is desirable
to have access to a wide, not only on the closure of the
penitent Spectrum, wasps vescheniyu issues (narrowing horizons
Snee zhaet creativity). Classes are from inconceivable without
computer software software. In the catalogs in circulation Gah
settle the program not the first freshness is not always an
adequate level of IP complement. On the general background
information Hunger is truly an event you move each new number
one electronic journals (and their - the general public at
GOVERNMENTAL - until recently there were two). AND thank all
our customers do not get tired, and repeat playback hischatsya:
Thank you, thank you And thanks again, you - the creators of
... At the same time not drawing attention to the
such "trifles" as elitist journals
and inaccessibility of much of the proposed summands of goods
and services - only one narrow range of local residents.
That's how it develops: on individual regions, and in
some communities settlements, living in neighboring houses
neschi tannoe number of enthusiasts, not knowledgeable about
each other anything. But each home-gamers, each spektrumistu
known that Moscow, not tirelessly for the common good working
legendary STEP, does not meet
the letters because of employment epohal nym monthly business
arrangement milestones in history of the Spectrum.
In an even more stringent conditions posed Lena
professionals who, having creative potential to develop
major resource projects, but not
with information about the market, can not
do their projects without commercial physical science basis.
In 1996, the journal ZX-Review published an article about Nam
rhenium group of Ukrainian programmers to develop a C-like
language for Sin Claire-compatible computers to creating a
comfortable environment of programming. Writing in this year's
letter indicated zannomu article at, we found that the draft
language is collapsed. The reason - the weak response of
readers.
Thus, summarizing the problems with
faced by different category of fans of the Spectrum, you can,
in general outline, outline the aims and objectives of the club
organization.
Firstly, and mainly, it is necessary
organize the collection of information
about users and computers is re Gihon. Owning a centralized
information tion of this kind can be controlled the work of
individual groups of users, united not by geography prize
Nacu, a community of interests and aspirations tions. The same
information will be helpful help with the various
marketing research.
Secondly, it is necessary lennaya purposeful work on the
collection and processing is teraturnyh materials aimed on the
Spectrum-compatible computers. For the last 5-6 years in
domestic variables riodike, as well as in the electronic
description niyah various software products, accumulated a
large number of scattered amorphous material, which needs
generalization and systematization. Such a work that is
necessary for the development of general infor mation to
support Spectrum Mykh compatible computers.
Third, it is time to put things in order to
"Market" the software update folder hundred of which is not
the first Declaration erated from the pages of the magazine
ZX-Revue. You must directly relate to the author Xia and offer
them the condition of the free market, rather than the dictates
of single polystyrene. Put a straight question: Whose cares
for Inforkom, branding on zorom "illegal copying on the space
alien dazhu copyright Programs - Institute of authors' interest
programs or their their own interests? Authors Inforkom
offer remuneration and
All-Russian fame. Copyright
Remuneration to say ridiculous,
because the reward is edinorazo Boc and does not depend on the
version number, ie subsequent versions are not paid.
All-Russian recognition can also be
questioned, but it is not
so in principle. Now bring chi tattoo of editorial dual
Rooms ZX-Review 96/4-5:
"... Appealing to all firms, hacker
groups and other individuals involved
distribution of copyright software
exclusive rights (that's so cool!)
which has Inforkom. Up to now the first time we watched
through my fingers this process. However, we receive
more letters in which readers and
the authors of the programs (at the request of workers 'Xia'
means) indicate inadmissible dependence of this phenomenon.
Therefore, putting first place (first place in this
proposal) the interests of creators and users ers (and how
could it be otherwise), we propose all interested in the
propagation (.?.) incomes, widespread programs to firms and
individuals enter contact us for the development of
Mutually beneficial cooperation. "The number of the form - a
game of good feelings and gullibility of people. From the
authors Inforkom bribes once and for all Noah insignificant
sum, and further, speculating protection copyright interests,
said: Do not you dare nobody but us to sell copies.
So there. It instead proposed causeway to the same firm buys a
license is not y Inforkom, and directly from the auto ditch,
or deduct from the sale of the authors each license. However,
this does not more than a game. No license rights
actually we do not exist because
The authors do not care that the official socio fix their work
- ha cha to the patent. No game results are exponentially money
that goes to the cashier with selling diskettes with the
software ensure Niemi. These lines, I probably Oscor beat a lot
of people. But, for the sake of more hectares, paying tribute,
let us not co-create for yourself an idol!
The aforementioned items are
important task, whose implementation by
force development organization with a solid
staff with the opportunity
publishing. Run the exposition program in full kako mu an
informal association - not really. You can activate some areas
of work provided support from journalists and managers
SSS (Student Scientific Society), but
I do not presume to predict what it might
leak or degenerate, since (read
first), the market is our unknown.
Kids and adults Spectrum fans!
All of whom the text
did not leave indifferent!
Any non-governmental organizations, but as equal and
periodicals, can not can not exist without a response those
for whom these organizations work. In any form of club Speck
Terumah be able to function in any case. But what will the
effectiveness of work and whether such work will bring about
substantially pollzu? Or may not be Spectrum club in a large
degree depends on your current position function: read it,
shrug and forget or by writing a short answer, go
the mail and send it to:
