■······························· · ] (c) arhon.GreenBitGroup 2:5052/30.22 arholet@mail.ru Hello! Hello everyone who is reading these lines now... I have For a long time, no, for a very long time I had a desire to write something like this article, but somehow everything didn’t work out... However... Why explain, everyone knows “yes... it’s necessary... oh well, then...” However, not everything is so bad, and I finally found(?) the strength and I am writing this work. ;) Although those powers actually didn’t come just like that out of nowhere. This must have been inspiration. ;) It's usually sleeps, rarely wakes up. This usually happens after reading some thread of the latest Spectrum edition. And although I honestly speaking, I expected a thread like Insanity, but as it turned out, I can will be inspired by others too. ;) This other one was the first issue new newspaper Generation. And although the authors did not claim the role "stage" publication, but the manner of presentation, and the content themselves articles allow us to doubt this statement. Well yes Actually that’s not the question. The newspaper is young, it can still do a lot will change... ;) When reading this publication, I was touched alivestatements on the following topics: - They're burying the speck again! - The problem of payback and financing of software development. - "The Internet has won!" So I wanted to speak out on these issues. So "old" songs about the main thing" about (?) the premature death of the speck. Well what is this? For what? I just don't understand WHY this is all lift? After all, it has long become clear to everyone(?) that everyone determines for himself the “life” of “his Spectrum”. And I don't I mean the iron, I'm talking about what's inside. Inside the soul. When in the shower a person admits to himself that the Spectrum is for him is no longer needed, then that “death” comes. The rest zx the community continues to live. Yes, yes, I understand that it hurts watch people leave. The platform is losing people. Moreover often the best representatives, because the worst are long gone. After all It’s no secret that right now they’re on the Spectrum "fans". Those people who are aware of all the problems, but this is not prevents them from remaining spektrumists. And IMHO, not that spicy It is important that people may not have “real” hardware for this. That's what the emulator is for. Oh yes, now they're going to fly at me various unpleasant things and words... How did they remember about emulators... That's how vile and bad they are. They enemies of the Spectrum, they corrupt the remaining realists, lure them to the evil PCs,they don’t do anything themselves (and if you remember now also “network” representatives of this category, then some people will immediately begin a spontaneous lobotomy with the release caustic bile). And no one thinks about what would happen to Spectrum, if there were no emulators. I think that after weighing everything pros and cons, one can come to the conclusion that then they would now go conversations are not about funerals, but about wakes... After all, how can it not strange, but there is software for real-life, but written in emulators, and people who have no real Spectrum at all. Well, now we can smoothly move on to the question of receiving money profit for their work. It's the same here. There is nowhere to dig anymore! All The field has already been dug up! Broken bayonets and swords are lying everywhere. All it is sprinkled with the blood of innocent people killed and those who simply died coders, and of course it’s well coated with a very thick layer... but no This is far from chocolate... the so-called sceners. That's where There are really a lot of them, it’s in those places where there is fetid smell of shit. Damn, this happened to me the impression that they can pollute even what was originally clean place. Well, okay, I'm getting a little off topic. So! Money. Everyone is shouting that authors must be paid for what are they doing. Because otherwise they will not do anything. Question Of course interesting and ticklish, but... But this has happened beforewas. And I'm afraid it will! Because judging by the authors, then you want a return. If from the user’s side, then there are reasons not to pay several. I'll try to voice them: 1) Laziness! Yes, just laziness go to the post office or somewhere else. In general, I’m too lazy to make unnecessary movements. And then there’s money... But it seems worthwhile... But laziness, but necessary, but money - next begin. 2) What should you pay for? Commander? Yes the thing is necessary, useful, very well written. But it's possible other commanders can also use it. Yes, at least the version below. There freeware, sort of. And so it seems like here it is, a new version, take it, uncle don't stand with a gun behind your back. Toys? Won't you feel sorry for the money? A won't they throw money at them? But wait a little, and then they will find you craftsmen... These are the thoughts that probably come to the mind of a simple user... What can I say to all this? Personally, I decided for myself yes. If I use it and like it, I will pay (if necessary). If I I produce software, then I will either release it to the masses for free, or I’ll put up protection and sell it for money. I'll sell as much as I can Until they break it, then I’ll give it to the masses for free. Last The point is the user's conscience. And ultimately I came to the conclusion that symbiosis is needed. Do as Mednonogov did, and add that marketing policy pursued by the authors of RC. Those. rely on according to the client’s conscience + “list of registered people” as another incentive to give credit to the authors.That's all. Others I don't see any way. And I think that further absorption of this problems are pointless. For again the truth is that everything is already for everyone decided for themselves. And that means there is no need to muddy the waters. But Now it’s the Internet’s turn. Again I don't quite understand saying “the Internet has won!” Who did he defeat? What, was it war? The Internet is entering our lives. Whether we want it or not. Someone should promote it. And if you succeed, why not busy? Or why indulge yourself with the stupid thought that those who left/is leaving for the web industry lost for Spectrum? They are on the Internet They are also busy with Spectrum, but at a new level. And if these people didn't if they were engaged in web technology, they would be engaged in something to others! And it is far from a fact that after this there would be anything at all. connected with our beloved speci. And the problem of people leaving the platform is also very old. And again we can say that she is already "sucked" from both sides. People have always changed their occupation. This is not just a Spectrum problem, it’s a feature in general person. His personality. And the only thing still worth discussing is This is how to increase the influx of new forces, not how to retain them old we need to come up with some radical measures. So-how time shows that at the moment there is an influx of new forces in the platform is quite low, but it is there! It’s from them, the young ones, that necessarypush off. Maybe you just need to ask, what exactly? do they need it for complete happiness? What to do to attract new people? After all, they, as newcomers, are better than anyone else know this problem. This means they can suggest ways to solve it. Well, that’s actually all I wanted to say for now. I wanted just to make it clear that this article should not be regarded as collision This is not a hit-and-run. I consider this simply a statement of my personal opinion. If you like, just continue the conversation on given topic... ;)
