John by KSA-7G hooked his dot matrix printer and print pictures 
homemade programs. Permission is not bad ... 

I took away from John'a Profi, he still he was never involved.
Dai, I think I better lie down. Only here is where my floppy 
disk with CP / M? John, WHERE IS MY floppy?? K_A_K S_T_E_R??


Ldir disabled the turbo on its supercomputer (for this he had 
to replace the burned chip, buried under a different chip) and 
repeatedly mentioned some multicolor. 

On my computer back a complex construction of 8 diodes, 2
resistors and chip K555KP11 depicting graphic modes 512x192 and 
"attribute to a byte." The first quite unintelligible to my 
telly. The second by b / w do not look:) 

What kind of drunk students decided to have fun and well-aimed 
blow knocked me three teeth. Boring, perhaps, live. And me with 
no teeth to eat, you know, uncomfortable.


Found Dissonator: he settled in a computer store, "Your
Computer, "I went there (Dissonator sitting in plain view), but 
out of the house to call back but could not. He lent me a screw 
to 210M, but I have it does not work} 

We John'om considered time off "from our life work: I have a 
45:20 in the week, he has - 54:15, and that's not counting move 
back and away. For comparison: a person is awake all 112 hours 
a week! 

The Compo 2 is complete. Summed up ...

Issued: RARbet20, UNR053c2, RZXSFX04, 8col0.10, ALASM4.45 (home
use). People, please do not be offended that ALASM4.45 until
spread - I just need a good test it.

My affairs are not hard ladyatsya ... To a greater degree of 
remoteness from Speccy generates in me a slight estrangement. 
Being constantly in "Real" world, surrounded by 'real' 
feelings, music, graphics, etc., every day I lose a piece of 
the stsenovoy life in which there was a time virgin creativity, 
joy, success; joy was sincere, not only for small 
accomplishments, but also for achievements of colleagues, 
brothers in belief. Now it looks as dusty family album that 
captures a some moments of scene life.


That light period (1997-2002) inexorably away into the shadows
memories. Increasingly difficult to write music in a format AY,
possibly the only decent CHIP TRACKER'a inhibit
its slowness, there is a feeling of tightness,
which breaks thin filaments and extinguishes a rare spark of 
creativity. Of course, there is much success in their coding, 
but this dominance kills feeling alive.


Now, when looking from side to specc scene, appears
suspicion that all stsenovoe community consists mainly of
three persons: the swan, the pike, and cancer. They are 
combining group scenery, as you know, try to rest in your cart

"Abode". As a result - a turtle progress, one user at
ў500 km ¤, hard deficit required standards, the lack of
clear objectives, etc.

Significant role in my alienation from the scene was played 
following moments:

1) Every time I sit down at your Speccy, I was tormented by
groundless worry - if only he had not broken. It's
For me, in particular, means that I stay out of companies like
at least six months. Now my Speccy include disabled
though he zaimel 512Kb of RAM, but it gave me - 128-e prog
buggy and hang, SIMM 4Mb like a saddle on a cow. In our case,
the best minds of practitioners of iron (T (c) S, KSA-7G) can 
not be given miserable for their authority time to bring my 
comp to mind. I just need something - a 4Mb flash and turbo, 
all ... What is for them? Especially, they say ...

2) I do not know, maybe I have a Che hearing, but I am inclined 
to that ESE playing samples closer to the real sound. If

I'm still not rights or half, I have a suggestion
- To make the ESE module to CHIP TRACKER'u. Module, because the 
ESE required until the big improvements. Whatever it was, I see

great future for your CHIP'a. Let it be even for all
disk, just to mount, easy to climb, giving birth beautiful
mouse. What about Pro Tracker'a: either he has exhausted 
itself, or I do not know much, but every time I can be more 
difficult immersed in the illusion of 4-hbitnogo space ...

3) Well, the graphics I've always been tight ...
4) Utilities lowers my opinion of the programmers in terms of
adaptation of their prog ...
5) There was a lot of newspapers and magazines, from which it 
seems that people like to just hammer away on the buttons ... 
MSF, Body, ZX-Time and something else - it can and should be 
pochityvat ... I do not know about the Inferno did not see ... 
;-) 

I've got another problem - the storage of accumulated 
information. But this, as I understood from our last 
conversation, is solved as follows way ... Speccy - work shop, 
PC - storage room. 

Generally, to be honest! Of course, I do not want to go with 
Speccy. More many are not completed yet, but how much is not 
created!

This Sunday, went to Gibson'u. Finally, they moved to their
old house, after minor repairs (Ed.: the house was
damaged by an earthquake in the autumn of 2003). Going to write
letter for you, so wait. News, alas, bad. The game "Who Wants
Be a Millionaire "will not work, because the sources were jammed
SCORP'om from Gibson. He also said that about 10 zater
musical compositions. Now seems to have developed complex, and 
the work they boil (the father and son). The father makes a 
directory for disk Kostya wrote the music. Of all the 
directories to floppy disks that I met, this will be the best, 
believe me (ready ў70%). 

Spektrumisty in our town (Ed.: Novokuznetsk), probably
extinct, those who were left on the PC, there were only us. And 
how connect with new, alas, I do not know.
