                    FROM THE EDITOR                    
--------------------------------------------------

  Well, good gentlemen, we made it. Congratulations! Outside
the end (sorry for the expression) of the 20th century, when
spaceships roam the expanses, you know,
The world's oceans, when in certain circlesonly
and talk about Pentium III and Windows 98,
when... In short, shame and disgrace.
  In general, the first issue of Saransk Computer
newspapers for ZX Spectrum "CITY".
  Believe it or not, several people
century in our multimillion-dollar city there are still some
some relics, like the ZX Spectrum, and many of them have
or in working order.
  It’s these few people that our editorial team is focused on.
(so far in the amount of one person) and calculated,
when she (I mean I) decided to take on this
a thankless task, like publishing a periodical
nia.
  I myself don't know any programming languages other than
I don’t speak Russian, so for the design of the newspaper
you have to use ready-made utilities,
to whom I express my gratitude in section
le GRAND MERCI and to whom I will be happy to send
your complaints about the design of the newspaper.                  
  And now a little about what the newspaper is planning -
All sections and what topics we will try to cover in them
spare.
  Firstly, this is the section I AM WRITING TO YOU..., where there will be
publish letters, telegrams, parcels weighing
up to 1 kg and money transfers from our readers, as well as
and our answers to them.
  Secondly, this is the section PLANET SHELEZYAKA, where there will be
cover hardware issues.
  Another section is WHAT? WHERE? WHY?. Here we are
We will try to talk about new arrivals on
our so far poor software marketand appa-
military support.
  This section has something in common with the next section,
which is called the ENGINE OF TRADE. This is how you
you understand, so dearly loved by us on television and
advertising for radio programs.
  The next section is SMILE. In this section we will
We will publish jokes, various jokes, and so on.
the latest decrees of our President and Government
government
  In the section BUK (from English kniga) we will print
various stories, novels, novellas, poems of the Russian
national and foreign poets and prose writers, carefully
hidden from children's eyes in the most remote corners -
ki INTERNETa.
  And finally, the already mentioned GRAND section
MERCI and the section ABOUT YOURSELF, where they will take place
our details, copyrights, copylefts and other
poverty, without which normal (and even more so hehop-
small) newspaper is simply unthinkable.
  And now there’s one more question that you and I need:
but decide right here and right now. To edition
ours lived and developed, not to mention
it just came out more often, editors are simply necessary
your articles, questions, stories, orders and other re-
awesome ads. For all such questions, please
call on weekdays on the work phone number,
indicated in the section ABOUT YOURSELF.
  So I say goodbye. See you in the next issue.
  In the meantime, read, envy...
