 Well, my dears, the time has come
I'm saying goodbye to you - I'm selling Spectrum in
someone else's hands and nothing else to do on it
I won't. That's it, we're done with computers! I
I don’t plan to switch to other platforms
we, although under certain circumstances
I will choose in favor of the PC. And how did you want
see the situation? And I have a limit for
altruism, patience and desire have run out
for fruitful work on the Spectrum. Yes
will happen to all of us sooner or later - we
let's leave the Spectrum and remember it
on quiet winter evenings, being old
farts who regret their aimless lives
years spent on the Spectrum.    
  The reason for this action was the complete pro-
shaft"Black Crow #5". I mean half-
noe indifference on the part of readers - yes -
those who corresponded with me did not correspond
deigned to answer my letters.  If for
this time (a couple of months while I was typing up
next issue) you left the spec, then no-
is it really so difficultwrite that everything, Max,
don't bother us - we're gone forever. A
Of the new readers, only one wrote! !
man! The impression is that either everyone died out
on the platform, or complete nonsense has arrived.
And this despite the fact that, according to those few
great responses that came to me (via
Internet mainly) you can safely de-
let us conclude that the fifth issue turned out to be
We are successful in design and content! And
what should I have after this us-
tripling? Okay, even about the financial side
I don’t want to stutter, but having lost my morals,
I don’t see the point in getting any reader support
do anything at all on the Spectrum. 
   In short, the so-called FreeStyle precious
ruined its existence without even starting.
The fact that a couple of texts of low intelligence
tual quality was sent for journal-
nala - this is not a joint activity
ness.  In fairness I would like to point out
(and thank) the music Dr. Lion`a, but
she wrote with nothing to do and in a magazine
turned out to be by chance. It seemed so to me.
The other group - VooDoo - quieted down not only
in correspondence with me, but also in zxnet. I
I suspect that they were all forced into the army.
In short, not only is there no one to work for, but
andno one. So that's it:                 
I'm done with Spectrum, poe=
please don't call, don't pee =
in general = do not disturb!
My e=mail, as well as my address in zx=
net are closed!                 
   I may answer letters, but
only for regular ones - paper ones.            
                                         
     ABOUT THE CONTENTS OF THE MAGAZINE      
     ====================      
                                         
    This number was put together in a hurry
for two nights, so its volume and quality
limping noticeably. Buyers will come tomorrow
So there's time for some serious layout
no, for which I apologize. It was possible, of course
but don't bother with a farewell number,
but somehow it doesn’t turn out beautifully silently
pour from the platform. So don't judge strictly
those for him.  And the material collected at
at the moment, it’s a pity - he’s interesting
still someone will be in any case. 
    Okay, enough snot smears on the keyboard -
Come on, it’s time to get down to business - pack
texts and sculpt application.  What will it be like
application - haven't decided yet.  If you don't re-
I think I’ll put all the sources into it

bath form. If you don't find them there, well
there will be a desire to continuethe series "The Raven"

Lara) and I'll send you a disk with all this stuff -
crowbar.                                     
   The application will contain a zipped catalog
programs from Sashuli from Sevastopol. Please-
ba don’t be confused and send the order to him, not
me! Read the accompanying documents carefully
texts.                                  
   I also post version Alasma 4.41, which

remake it to 42 characters, but the last

There was no time to deal with bullshit. Own
but why on earth should I do this, if
the now living author was offended by this
to bother, then even more so for me... I only regret...
ko, that he never asked the Kharkov residents for
finalizing the STS source code is a useful thing
it would work. But that doesn't matter anymore.      
   I also think it’s necessary to place two over-
Leya for an awesome graphics editor
BGE v2.40 and higher: one for combining 2x
screens, and the other prints the current
image to the printer (finally!).  This is in
first of all for “collective farmers” who do not have
access to networks. Use it!       
                                         
                  ----- Well, perhaps we'll end here. Goodbye
