                           About the list

I still continue to publish my list. This time in the spa─
Ktrumovsky form. I know very well that there are some people
who are pleased with the statements "there are a couple hundred of you left", and that
my lists act on such people like a red rag on a bull.
I also know their ridiculous arguments. Like,"90% of those listed
they've already left the spec, and you're adding them in." I answer: I entered
spectrumists for a certain period - approximately5 years, with
with the greatest coverage in the second half of this period. Spectrumist
has been on the platform for more than one year, most of those I know
- more5 years. Here, take a ruler and calculate how much you have reduced ─
the number of "contact spektrumists" was increased due to the arrivals and
care. Doesn't work? And rightly soit turns out. Because it is necessary
to compile such statistics, have TWO lists with a gap of
several years. There’s no need to close your eyes like this when you mention─
knowledge about30 thousandth circulation of the 3rd (!) edition of Larchenko’s book and
Rodionova, books ON ZX PROGRAMMING. Or, they say,"this 
you are distributing a ready-made spam list." I answer: to find it─
get this list out of the sea of porridge floating around on the nets
addresses, and even check them, spammer ten times in bloody sweat
will get wet. And he will receive - a penny, because 1000 addresses for a spammer are pathetic
- a drop in the ocean.

So, these guys want to create a picture, supposedly no

outside of mastery of the material, which, say, with all the vaunted culture
nothing better than Art Studio has been written and never will bewritten. Yes,
"nothing." Apart from BGE, EDP or Graphics Station, forgetting
about very specialized editors. Art Studio holding─

"releases", "fixes" and "cracks". For comparison, STS is already done─

So what is the ZX Spectrum platform like in history?
which cut? This is an island of culture. This is the Silver Age. It's barely
Isn’t it the densest intellectual association of youth in the former?
Shem of the USSR. Outside, young people are running wild in front of the TV, on the street, at the game─
howl of the console, on the Internet. With us, a person enters the world,
which is being built before his eyes, this person sees what is what
done, sees how it works, the person gets an incentive to do it─
Vitya! The most important thing is that he sees how attitudes towards him change according to
as you improve your skills...

No innate IQ! There are only people with desire"I want to BE
SMART, I want to KNOW and BUILD" and people with desire"I want to LIVE WELL 
and CALM". The second part with constant care of your ass
not able to move the world, much less save it. However, this type
personality - "number" - to some veryprofitable to cultivate, oh
what I wrote in previous issues. For such people, "numbers", life
does not have far-reaching goals - money, house, food, rest, but
the pinnacle of “self-sacrifice” - earn, buy, keep for your own
the offspring have a lot of money so that they can really live well. And
grow up in such "workaholics"(another, forgotten term:
"redneck", see Ozhegova) kids who, perhaps, live well,
but they do it badly to others. About these spoiled kids
I also wrote in previous issues.

For “numbers” the words “who invented this”, “who discovered this”,
“who wrote something” is an empty phrase, because “numbers” are not at all pre─
They explain how a person can write or open something. For them
a writer is an inscription on a beautiful cover. Any car is a singing─
evolved as a result of progress thinking about us. And, for example,
music has no author at all. And even names. Why does she need it?
Let it be called "TrackO1.""I listen, I'm pleased, and I enjoy it
Nothing else is needed."

So, let's get back to those who are afraid of creating the history of ZX, big
databases of materials, collections, lists. They will shout: oh, auto─
Russian rights! oh, confidential information! They don't knowwhat
confidentiality of information was NOT invented FOR honest people, yes
and that copyright is not written about them. And it is written about
so that the largest possible share of citizens who are not included in the ownership─
capitalists, had no right to information. Several hundred
good books read “by law” is the price of a car.
A couple of thousand is almost an apartment. Do you understand what it smells like? What is
the real price of "copyright"? Money is information, information
- this is power, power is money!

Money! Money all around! Laws are passed for money, judicial
processes are won for money, authorship is bought for money.
It was money that allowed the heirs of Soviet writers to protol─
kick the law that extended the term up to75 years(75 years AFTER DEATH!) term
ownership of authorship of the works of the deceased. Authorship on the site─
works that the heirs did not write. And they are legal
"right" to sit with folded paws and receive money (that is, at home,
cars, food, services, entertainment etc.) for free. True, their
my brother occasionally has to spend money on new laws.

Comrades who, in pursuit of fashion, fell under the charm of the brand
"Public Domain Software" writing "copyleaf" instead of "copyright" 
you", do not notice that the rights to all programs under licenses from
GPL families belong to a specific organization: FreeSoftware
Foundation, Inc. All programs with these licenses are distributed─ 
working on the principle of the AIDS virus (from “parents” to “children” and
when transferring blood, that is, pieces of the program, from subject to sub─
ektu). For programs that this foundation did not write and for purchase
of which I didn’t spend a penny. Free Software Foundation, Inc.
can prove his rights in court. Still in process─ 
Sah against monopolies. (I wonder what will happen if someone buys it
one of these monopolies?..)

What in our paid world can go down in history, get into
textbooks? Not the events and times that really matter
and which are useful to know about. What will go down in history is what is on time
and made the necessary emphasis widely enough. Culture on ZX
Spectrum - yes! Convince people of this! Collect evidence─ 
VA, materials, lists, tables, write chronicles, analyses, reference books
nicknames Try to publish them! Without forgetting to do this
culture is even better! This work will take effect after many, many years─
will gladly respond!
