Tertius Gaudens


  More recently, it might seem that
ZX-newspapers gradually coming to an end:
due to lack of material some of the newspaper fell into a coma, 
while others were close to this state. A majority 
spektrumistskih groups wishing to express themselves "Urbi et

orbi ", believed, like Caesar, that" Aut
Magazine, aut nihil! "- And the ZX-press magazines is growing, 
and newspapers - less.


  But here, the situation seems to have changed
better: recalled his ZX-News and Maximum, were born, "Plutonium 
and Born Dead. "The process has started!" Mikhail Gorbachev.

  Material on the topic "PC vs ZX" in the form of 
correspondence from ehokonferentsii. An ingenious solution! 
After all, if the issue is, as a normal article - there is a 
need to think about! And by running it in Fido, risking a

from a moderator is something like: "The theme is declared 
Offtopic! expression of personal animosity and insult in 
ehokonferentsii I will not stand!" But in a newspaper - a nice 
thing: the owner - a gentleman, what I want, then come back. 
(However, as a result of the reader little understand from the 
publicity. But this is it, Reader, problems.)

  W. Black, 20.4K


  Not so long ago the world was spektrumistsky
shocked by the news of the suicide Clive
Sinclair. "Duck" has launched a popular
Digest newspaper "24 Hours". At this event
responded Maximum and Born Dead. But
only Nicron, showing a brilliant example
searching the Internet, to fully investigate
this story. It turns out that all this was in
inaccuracies in the translation!

  | 104 contains a story about the search and lots of detail, 
one way or otherwise associated with Sir Clive. List them for a 
long time. Therefore, I will say one thing: each spektrumist 
should read this number Nicron'a!




Protein, 1998


        Day that went awry


     Day that went awry

     Upside down in the morning.

     When things go really wrong,

     As suggested yesterday.


     Day, curled up with a vector path

     Pull off the asphalt road

     Vybivshy completely out of the rut

     And leading into the unknown leg.


     Day, dismantled and carrying away,

     Like a weightless feather.

     Whether waiting in front of the blind steel

     Or step on a new path?


     Is it any wonder that there is, and how?

     It is better to entrust the sail the wind.

     Day that went awry

     Full of unexpected answers.


                               January 1997
