res spektrumists are left with no choice.   
 First, I will try to explain the reason,
why I didn’t buy “BC#3/4” from you, but
also "Editor" and "New Missions". In your
in the magazine "VS#2" there was a hint that you
It seems like you won’t publish “VS” anymore,
and you’ll leave “Brain Name” in “good hands.” B
in general, this fact made me then
don't write letters.                        
                                         
Max: yes, it happened. But then it happened
the fucking crisis of '98 and all my na-
hopes for the pussy collapsed... And it’s good that I
I didn’t buy it then, as I see now -
This is the situation. But the magazine didn’t find “good and
reliable hands,” so he stayed with me. I
did not stop working on ZX, as you already
Tom guessed it.                           
                                         
SUN:  Then, a year and a half later, at the market
I saw "Missions" and "Editor".  About
what are these, let's say, pirated versions, you
you understand, it was not said.  I don't remember
did I then look at the logo "Compu-Stu-
dio Ltd" some attention, and even if
drew attention to the fact that "VS#1/2" was published
were on altruistic principles would force
think what it isalso sHareWare product.
And, in the end, the temptation was great -
Is it a joke: “Black Raven is almost 2”!
Your "puncture" was that "VSZ"
with advertising for "Editor/Missions" came out a month-
tsa two later.                         
                                         
Max: not for two, but for six months. But about that
a little later...                            
                                         
VS:  The second factor that would force
I can't buy "Missions" with "Editor"
you (purely theoretical version) have-
It turns out that I am the owner of a disk drive on
3.5", while you are recording "op-
ly 5.25"". The third, significantly less
significant factor is the lack
on the Spectrum system of legal sellers.
That is, they seem to exist, but their own pro-
you can sell the product in your city, and
for other regions it will be free.
                                         
Max: the last one is correct, but here's the rest:
I doubt it.  Take, for example, my rec-
lama It seems like you don't usually
you read other publications, but prefer
exactly mine. Thank you for such "love". Not
It would be superfluous to remind you that before leaving
the full version of the "Editor" was launched in
light demoversion. And not just dropped on
good luck, but published in two Russian publications
yah - Kovrov newspaper ZX-Pilot #32 and fish
Bino magazine Adventurer #9. There would be

editor, and new missions! All trade

notice.  Moreover, number 9 is pre-

nogov saw our works! Haven't you seen it?
Tell me right away that you didn't want to pay me
the price that was indicated in advertising and sales

you're creating an empty flame here.  What about-
there are disk drives, then I would write it down for you
as an exception, freely copyable versions
to five inches, which would allow re-
carry programs on three-inch tapes. I'm
said in the advertisement that bargaining is appropriate!     
   Okay, these are things of a long time ago, but
So it doesn't matter now.
It is interesting to read the continuation of the letter:   
                                         
Sun:  As for "Sun#3/4", then in "Sun#1/2"
there were no specific type instructions"buy
only for me", and how do I know -
did you buy the Kharkov distributor from
you or downloaded for free on the Internet...
                                         
Max: That's it! This means that it is necessary to specially indicate
call that the author needs a fee! I
I write in almost every issue - I’m not thirsty -
lei the unfortunate three-ruble (hryvnia) for the purchase
buy a copy from the author. You will not become poor, but he
it will be nice... Actually, my claims are
payment for the magazine "Black Crow" is high
always seemed casual, because all but-
measures were issued without protection, on altruism
meh.  The calculation is always done conscientiously
and the consciousness of readers: do you consider it necessary
nym - pay the author of the magazine. And not only
mine, and all Spekov magazines, in number
three or more issues published. The rest -
ephemeral, and therefore not serious publications.
But “Missions” and “Editor” were commercial
ical projects, I was talking about them,
for them our group expected to receive
monetary reward.  So don't s-
put everything into one pot, okay?             
                                         
VS:In addition, if I knew about such a
holding in "BC#3/4", perhaps I imagined it
wouldn't buy it again.  In general, the last two
issues of the magazine are not worth a penny.
Yes, shelland the service has improved somewhat
Yes, but the content is complete fuck!..

Max: Hmm, you can't please everyone with content
and so it should be. Some people like it, some people...
I can't stand it. Actually, I don't-
I don’t force anyone to read my magazine. Not
If you like it, don't eat it! And censorship is a good thing

Max: Well, damn it, it's like you fell from the moon!!!

VS:  In general, closing the topic "Black CroW",
I want to say this: if you feel deeply
don't care about Spectrum, what are you doing here-
eat? And if you are not indifferent to his fate -
bah, why are you releasing something uninteresting?
