This comprehensive paper was written with the aim of improving the quality of the software
BURST/FLASH/ASM writes to the leader of the Samara hackers, pointing out specific bugs: File Commander 4.04 incorrectly calculates free space, ProTracker 3.31 is glitchy, and the sound in the compiled block doesn’t match the editor. He asks that they be informed—Maxsoft and MMCM—that their software is unfinished.

To drink or not to drink—that’s entirely up to me
DB responds to an article in Born Dead—denying the story about a drunken brawl involving PYRODEX and hinting that he might publish compromising material in return: a drunken photo of the editor himself. He demands a correction in the next issue.

Returned from the army - Speccy is alive, but the hardware is gone
Grey/GSB from a small provincial town writes to the Born Dead editorial team immediately after returning from the army. You can hardly find a Speccy there—whoever had one has either thrown it under the bed or switched to a PC. He repaired his GadaptoD 128 himself, but software is a problem—there's nothing in town, only pen pals from Khabarovsk and Rostov-on-Don help him out. He read in Born Dead magazine about a Samara CD with emulators and software and asks UnBELiEVER to burn and send one for a fee. Internet access is still unavailable—his boss at work doesn't allow it, and paper letters are more pleasant. He ends with the traditional: Speccy lives forever, Z80 is the BEST of all.

Disk problems in a small town
UVI Soft / C.I.C. writes to Maxim that he received the package containing the discs, but the letter arrived torn—the postal service is unreliable. He complains about problems with the discs in his small town and asks how things are in Samara.

This is a person writing to you from the depths of the countryside who has been working at SPECTRUME for over 10 years.
Nick zx, a seasoned Spectrum user with 10 years of experience, writes to the editors of BORN DEAD newspaper, expressing admiration for the publication and making two requests: to send the newspaper immediately upon release (he currently receives it two months late) and to send materials from all exhibitions for 2000, as he cannot attend in person. He expresses his willingness to collaborate on an ongoing basis on mutually beneficial terms.

GIFT for MMCMa
Monster hands Max two floppy disks: one with an AVI/FLI converter for Speccy (he asks not to use it commercially), the other with a demo gift for MMCMa in the army. He asks him to disassemble the ALASM file. He wishes him a Happy New Year.
