Voice of the people - Questionnaire in Dnepropetrovsk.

 QUESTIONNAIRE DNIPROPETROVSK 
(C) PunisHer/VooDoo People               
-------------------------------------------------------
 Now I will try to present the results
conducted survey. I want it right away
notice that people were interested,
some even took the questionnaires home and
full of the whole family. But there were also those
who refused to write even a couple
lines - to answer at least the main points -
you.  But still - not much was filled, nor
not enough, but 36 people, and if you count more
and those who refused, who did not
there were enough questionnaires and which in general at this time
I didn't show up...                      























   Анкета  проводилась примерно 1-1.5 ме-
сяца,  т.е.  -  8-12 базарных дней, в ней
было 11 пунктов.                         
                                         
Пункт 1: ИМЯ (ПСЕВДОНИМ):                
   Здесь всё понятно, имена или псевдони-
мы написали все участники анкетирования. 
                                         
Пункт 1.1: ВОЗРАСТ:                      
   Но здесь ответили не все, а только 32,
остальные  4  чела  наверное постеснялись

 I would like to note that the main
the roomists of our year are approximately 16-19 years old,
i.e. pupils and students, it’s nice to have
and the young guard are 14-15 years old, such would be
more and Spectrum would flourish in our
city, otherwise malicious consoles lured
with its cheapness and simplicity a bunch of young
guys who don't understand all the beauty
computer ZX-SPECTRUM and do not catch up with how
These consoles are dulling his little brain,
after them it’s scary to sit down at the computer
- a bunch of buttons, toggle switches, disk drives and
etc.;  it’s easier to take a joystick where there are some
10 buttons, insert the cartridge into one single
nal connector and come off completely
carcass without suspecting that... For some reason I
got carried away from the topic.                          
                                         
Point 2: HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU WORKED AT SPECCY:
 Now we’ll find out who
more on Spectrum - new generation
or old.                             
                                         
          YEARS MAN          
                                         
           1 *****            
           2 *****            
           3 ****             
           4 *****            
           6**               
           7 ******           
           8 *****            
           10*                
           11*                
                                         
   Judging by these data, we can be confident
It’s safe to say that new people on our
favorite computer - they were, are and will be!      
                                         
Point 3: CONFIGURATION OF YOUR COMPUTER: 
 This is perhaps one of the most interesting
sections, because  have been in our city for a long time
There are continuous battles about what
A better computer is Orel or Pentagon. By-
let's see what we have RULEZ:             
                                         
OREL - 11                               
PENTAGON - 6                             
LENINGRAD 2 - 2                          
SCORPION - 2                             
ATM-TURBO - 1                            
AMIGA 1200+ SPECCY EMULATOR -1          
pENTIUM 166 MMX/16 Mb/SB PRO/CD-ROMx14/  
emulator - 1                             
UNKNOW - 11                              
                                         
   Here, I think, it is clear that Orel is the most
a common car in our city,
follows her by a wide margin
PENTAGON, and then all sorts of SCORPIONs, Le-
ningrads, emulators. Unknown
11 people did not admit to any reasons
what kind of computers they have.                    
                                         
   Now let's see how much memory there is
Now the most popular:                    
                                         
128k - 20                                
48k - 8                                 
512k - 3                                 
256k - 3                                 
UNKNOW - 2                               
                                         
   The most popular memory is 128k, after,
how sad is it not 48k, but third place
divide 256k and 512k.  Mm-yes, I wanted to be here
say that it’s time to move to 256k or more
pass, but here at least everything should be transferred to 128k
decided... it's not serious 8`(             
                                         
Clause 4: HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE PER FAMILY? 
  YESYOUR COMPUTER IN THE FAMILY: 
 Ha... now we'll find out, ZX-Spectrum
family computer or for wolves-alone-
check.                                     
                                         
   Thus, 23 families use a computer
1 person, 12 - two spektrumists, well
and in one there are as many as 4 fans. Conclusion: mostly
ZXSPECTRUM is for singles, but still - it works
trend of familyization :)                 
                                         
Point 5: WHERE DO YOU GET THE SOFTWARE
  COOKING:                        
                                         
FIDONET = 2            
INTERNET = 4            
RADIO MARKET = 30           
FRIENDS = 22           
IN OTHER PLACES = 5            
                                         
   From these data it is clear that mostly
people get P/O at the radio market and from other
Zey and only a small part in the networks. What can I-
Guh, I’m the only one who checked the box everywhere
ki, in principle, for TRADER this is its own -
really :)                                
                                         
Clause 5.1: WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A BRANDED SOFTWARE:
 Now we find outas in Dnepropetrovsk-
ske belong to the legal market.        
                                         
Answered positively - 24               
Answered negatively - 3 (expensive)       
Difficult to answer - 6                
Possibly - 1                             
Still - 1                            
Depends on what - 1                         
                                         
   Looking at these results, one can increase
reluctance to negotiate with authors seriously
useful programs, thereby supporting
Spectrum life. As you can see, one wrote
“depending on what”, but it is clear that not all
there's Tetris or Color line... so,
Dear Dnepropetrovsk residents - wait!        
                                         
Point 6: WHAT DO YOU DO AT SPECCY?  
 This point is probably one of the most
we are interesting.                          
                                         
Playing - 13

Music - 4                               
Program - 16                       
A little bit of everything - 3                      
Hold like a notebook - 2          
It’s unclear what - 2                        
Studying - 1

Communication RTTY, SSTV, CW - 1                 
Selling software - 1 (that's me :)              
                                         
   Regarding “games”, everything is clear here, everything is
We're a little bit gamers, but we can do anything in this

There are as many as 4 musicians - at least one mu-

Well, bring your work and we'll see,
We'll evaluate whether it might be applicable somewhere or in yours.

even one started up somewhere!                
                                         
Point 7: WHAT GENRE OF GAMES DO YOU PREFER?
 Now we'll see how Cher-
nobyl (WINDOWS;) influenced.               
                                         
 Strategy - 25                          
 Logic - 17                          
 Adventure - 14                          
 Simulator - 11                          
 RPG - 9                           
Not on the list:                        
 Labyrinths - 1                           
 Arcade - 1                              
                                         
   Looking at the results it became scary
it turns out what kind of strategists we are, for war
are we going? :)And what about the war, Rubik's cubes warehouses -
what?  ...we love adventure too! On
war, to war... but on simulators,
we hardly prepare at all 8) It’s nice that
the most uncommon genre of RPG - on-
went to his fans.                       
                                         
Item 8: TOP FIVE GAMES:             
   And here the hit parade begins.         
                                         
1.BLACK RAVEN - 14                      
2.UFO-2 - 10

   Everything is clear with first and second place,
the third was occupied by two masterpieces of specrum-
classics of games - unforgettable ELITE and
LASER SQUAD. Are there really more cool games?
no, everywhere in the charts it’s the same thing, with
It hasn't been updated since '98. What about: MIRROR,
MONSTRLAND, PRINCE of PERSIA, etc., what
forgot... or didn't play?                 
                                         
Clause 8.1: BESTFIVE SYSTEMS:      
  Well, here, I hope, there’s at least some variety...
there will be an image. After watching
all five systems, I decided to change
hit parade - break everything down by category.
