Будущее Спектрума

Arguments user - On the computer with the Spectrum in the Altai.

  REASONING idle user,

     Have already found ANY KEY


     It's no secret that
the computer with Spectrum
Altai is poor. About the reasons we all seem to guess - it's 
absence from the province of manufacturers of hardware and as a 
result - a complete lack of advertising and outreach 
activities. Perhaps objection that IBM have also

do not produce, but ... However,
IBM advertisement for all to see and
hearing.

     The fact that Spectrum have
somewhere else "usual" say
occasional ad in local
Signage editions - in sections SELL. Sometimes there are ads on 
the public transport stops. But for the vast

majority - ZX-Spectrum not
says absolutely nothing.

     No, certainly not so
gloomy. We have even one
a company involved in sales
Spectrum-compatible computers and related literature. But in 
the realm of advertising claims it is currently only in

communication and on the "IBM. Nothing
no sense in commerce, and never
not confronted with problems
businesses close, easy to fall
a pathetic and restore "a shadow on
the fence. "And yet ... Very, very sad that the only
in Barnaul, computer company,
relevant to the Spectrum,
can not afford at least
minimum - at the level of ads - ads indifferent
all of us the computer.

     Influence the situation to change the situation in
favor Spectrum - it is not for us
forces. Do not have the funds
yes and skills relevant
either. You can make an attempt to
at least to clarify the situation, and
it - a significant step forward.
With enough accurate information about, sorry
market, we can already build
real projects and move
from idle thoughts to specific
cases.

     The author of article has long been plotting association
creation of a club sinkleristov, which will afford
not only work "in close
circle "know each other in the face of enthusiasts, but also to 
work across the city or edge. Such a club could operate within 
the walls of one of University regional center. For example, 
Altai State Technical University - a very suitable candidate 
for the role coordinator, the center of attraction for 
disparate, scattered over a vast territory amateurs alone 
byuschihsya on their own, but if you think -

then over our common, problems. On the desirability or
benefits of organizing such a club
You can talk a long time, you could even argue. One thing is 
certain: within the club can find the use of their forces not 
only Cranks Z80 programmers or

"Electronics" and decides to eternal
issues of interoperability and standards, but also 
professionals, not directly related to

Computer Spectrum: artists
musicians, writers, sociologists, educators, etc.

     Subject Spectrum phenomenal
in its own way - so if you want a kind of niche, the existence 
of which many are not know, and those who know - not

able to borrow. The point was for
savvy and entrepreneurial.

     Form a club,
scheme of information exchange - is a special subject,
and here, I must admit, there is no
more precise solutions. While there
idea, a dream, to implement
which is probably still
endeavor. As a first
step to your attention
