   Hi, everyone! It's been a long time since there was a section in DV 
"Mail",but we need to stop with this! Letters
a lot comes to us, but at the moment
moment I want to answer a couple, so
Moreover, they came by email,
and therefore they did not need to be reprinted
remove from paper;)

   So, the first letter. It came from
under Nik Blade/TRIUMPH. In text
the letters will be my comments (С:).

------------------------------------------

   Corporation PLAYGEAR dedicated...
                Based on materials from "Deja vu#09"

C: it's loudly said - a corporation! We have
company PLAYGEAR, although it doesn’t matter.

  Paradoxical as it may seem, but Ironman us
didn't convey anything. Like this! And you already
thought we missed the muse? Ha ha!And in
It’s no wonder they didn’t come to Chelyabinsk “for a showdown.” A
then you see how bad we are, we use the muse
for Deja Vu.We should have hit the face for this
push, immediately without talking...

C: Daniel, of course, I bent about the showdown,
he apparently got off on the wrong foot ;) Not on -
before taking his words to heart,
no one wants to quarrel with you, that's for us
no need.

   In general, to write such things you need
check everything first! Ironman /if you don't
knew / a forgetful person, today he
says one thing, tomorrow another. But we're in
Isn't this your fault?!?

C: of course, this is not your fault, yes, and
no one is going to blame you, it's just
the cover came out ;)

  And it wasn’t fate to call or
write a letter?

C: apparently it’s not fate, I, frankly speaking, myself
I learned about "troubles with music" from DV;) Yes,
to hell with the music, don't bother with it
focus attention.

   Now about Mir#03... By the way
we sent Pagan two letters, and several
tried oncecall. They called once
he was sleeping, but the second time he was not there...
The letters apparently did not arrive /???/ or they were missed
then they ignored it.

C: I asked Ze Pagan about the letters,
he said that there was nothing like that from you -
beamed: (And the fact that you can reach him
couldn’t... So, even we ourselves dosed up on him-
we can’t stink, he usually does us all
calls, and all because he is very
he's a busy man, and there's no need to criticize him
roll.

   What difference does it make how long they were made?
And why mention this twice?
What do you mean by this? Like if
If we did this for a whole year, we would have...

C: I didn’t mean anything by this... what
are you so offended? I just mentioned you in
as an example, I should have brought-
give me some example, so I chose you
;) It doesn't mean that I wanted you somehow
hurt, on the contrary, I wanted to emphasize that
we know you, read and respect you :) And don’t
cling to words.

  Here I don’t understand anything... About what
Are we talking about a new design? Everything is left in
in the same form /design/.  Just a little
Improved graphics.   But that's not
called new design!

С: what, the appearance of the menus does not correspond to the design
applies?  We have a certain style
from which we try not to escape
die. This is not noticeable to the user,
but I will repeat for the hundredth time that the expression
"new" or "old shell" means
CODING,and not design. And the fact that I stuttered
about design, so, you’re just clinging to words -
eat! Well, okay, I'll rephrase after-
day's sentence: needless to say, a long time ago
a written shell with a boring external
the look has already outlived its usefulness. Have you calmed down now?

  Why didn’t they write about the author of the idea? Or you
thought that Phantom Lord it’s just not
worthy?.. Moreover, the effect is one-on-one,
onlyfps faster.

C: well, damn it, honestly! Yes,
I indicated the author, I indicated! Read ReadMe09.W
in the application. I just madeScreen Saver,
like a true student, on the last night, and
It was wrong to interrupt the article “From the authors.”
But your remark about fps is not quite
correct. It is rather tpf (tacts per fra-
me), and not fps (frames per second). Effect
I actually rewrote (the code), but externally
he remained the same. Cool effect that
did you dig in?

 It begins...

  Showdowns, showdowns... I don’t understand
why all this? Are you going to cut and
figure out everyone who will break yours
magazine?  Or did you write this purely on
a note to make others “scared”?

C: we are not going to stop this activity -
Yes, but to calculate - yes. We must
our legal distributors know that
in their city so-and-so is doing
software hacking.

  Only from the outside it all seems
excuse me, frankly childhood.
Some kind of showdown, raids. Why all this?
The crack scene has existed and will continue to exist.

those that break software. And here we are talking about
PIRATES,these are those who SELL broken
software The guy in question didn't break the DV,
and sold it next to our legal ra-
distributor, which is why the latter believed us
canceled the license and demanded the money back.
And you think that we have such impudence
(I'm talking about pirates) should close their eyes
for? Fuck them... that's it! What

 Hmm... Well, what will all this lead to?
 What is done cannot be returned.

C: did you even understand what you said? Here
you, for example, will invent some kind of
useful thing, and I'll take it and mutilate it, at

I will not leave it, I will distribute it among people under

  Again threats... Are you there - militants 86
year?  Well, figure it out, SO WHAT?  What are you
will you tell that person?  How bad is he?
Pagan, read about human psychology and
you will understand that you will not prove anything to him.
He will remain unconvinced, because... this is
his point of view, which he believes
the only correct one.  Why all this?
Waste your own and other people's nerves in vain.

C: you yourself are militants! I hate insults
Do you really want to quarrel? To that-
these were not threats to my husband, read carefully -
flax! It was a warning. What are we
Let's tell him - this is our business. What are you doing?
Are you worried?  You are protecting someone you don't
you know, maybe he’ll give you some too

They didn’t prove anything, they just stated
facts. But we don’t waste our nerves, we treat
I'm pretty calm about everything, but what about
other people's nerves, then this is their problem.

  Again, this garbage with Serzh. Write,
they say, Serge took it and cried in
open. What are you doing yourself? You provoke
flame?  Remember how we had troubles with
Allen, Pagan advised us to
next time it won't be on the pages
magazine. And themselves...

C: with Serzh it really turned out to be garbage :(
Damn, it's a complicated situation here. Sergei potre-
received a reward from Ze Pagan for his
articles in the size of a box of recorded discs
new there. Sanyu, apparently this is strong
hurt, and he scribbled an angry letter to Seryoga
smoo, they say, where do we get this kind of money when
DV diverges in frivolous form... and suffers
darling :( In principle, I relate to this
I have no idea, but it’s somehow inconvenient before
it turned out to be a man. I don’t know what to say
zat. I can only try to make up for this
byaku, having sent, Kolotov Seryoga this number
Deji :)

   And what is this “view from above” at the demo?
making. Sort of malicious, sometimes mocking
vy review dem. Why all this? Show how
you are great at coding, what are you like?
cool code demos /??? /, and how are the guys from
The Czech Republic is trying, butthey don't work out
dit?

C: well, we’ve reached the demo review.
I'll tell you what. Person (observer)
expresses his opinion as he wants, so let him
and says! Daniel expresses HISopinion, and
not an opinionEDITORS. And what does this have to do with WE
(i.e. BDA)? Yes, in places Daniel is sarcastic,
He has his own style of presenting material. From
This article only becomes more interesting.
Do you want the demo review to contain
only a list of effects, demo lengths in seconds
tori and duration in minutes? And in
We don’t understand coding at all, and pro-
we frame only in BASIC, but only later
we compile TOBOS,so everyone thinks
that DV is written in codes, but in reality
in BASIC, like this;) You can do the same
to say about the review of toys fromZe Pagan,in
which also flash malicious lines -
ki, and add: “Oh, what do you want with this
say? How are youcool, write toys?

  Moreover, you are already dictating to readers how
they need to handle a copy of the magazine!.. And
after all, they paid money for it and can
do whatever they want with her. For example, you
when you buy bread in a store, the seller
does not tell you: under no circumstances dare
give this bread to the homeless!  After all, you
do with it what you want, because... you
_bought_ it, it's yours!

C: the comparison with bread is incorrect here. I say-
I'm sorry. Let's say I buy paper and color
printer (I WILL BUY!), I will print money
bill, cut it out with scissors and go to the nearest
spend a big stall. They'll put a handcuff on me

   Hello everyone who is reading right now
this is a letter! But seriously, hello-
please dear fellow Playgear sheep and
Binarovians..

C: hi, buddy:)

   This letter, as can be seen from the subject, from everything
famous city of Lisichansk, which is on
DonBasse.  And the very first thing I want you
to say is something that is bad, very bad,
that you have no way out in Fido.. This would be
made it much easier to communicate with you. And so
I have to write through a gate, but this is well
not reliable at all. By the way, this is already the 3rd letter
sent to you through the gate. And I feel
that you clearly did not receive the previous ones.

C: the fact that we don’t have access to Fido is
it couldn’t be worse, but we will receive all your letters
maybe we just didn’t answer them :( It’s possible
there is no way, then they broke, then strained over time
me:(

  Okay, let me start by praising your
cool magazine - Deja Vu.Don't think that
I'm buttering it up, but actually your magazine
remains the coolest thing yet
from the entire compopress. And that's a fact.

С: thank you for your kind words, after such
words I want to work, work and again
work, as grandfather said... well,
howit... well, in general, it doesn’t matter;) And on
due to steepness, we don’t think so. Yes, in
DV has something, but it's not that cool,
just an ordinary magazine, of which there are a whole bunch
software market.

  Of all the numbers I have from #5 to
number #9, we were not lucky enough to find the first ones.
And, of these four numbers, to be honest,
purchased current #7 and #8. #9 I didn’t have time to buy,
because I found out about it late
existence, but found out because we
The freely distributed number has already arrived.

C: well, how can that be! First four numbers
no. This is, one might say, a perversion;) Yes-ah!
As soon as I remember, this is my coding school,
my first intrus, first articles, oh, yes-
really it was :)

  And I’ll be honest - the further it goes, the worse it gets.
Why? But because, for example, starting from
#6, get fewer illustrations. And because of
This magazine becomes somewhat lean.
After all, the main difference between a magazine and a newspaper is
the point is that the magazine should be more
illustrated rather than a newspaper. Yes, in a minute
newspapers have more pictures than inDEJA VU
#8-9.  Just look at HERESY#4 from
DEMURGE ASH,albeit pseudo, but illustrations.
So what am I asking you to accept?attention. to me
finally I liked it better
DEJA#5-6.  These numbers are actually similar to
magazines.  #7 is also cool.  But in #8
For some reason I didn’t even see the screensaver.
But this is only what concerns the design.

C: yes, about the illustrations, you are right. But
We don’t even have artists: (Of us there are artists
nicknames from the word bad. But we try our best
we can. Good people help us, why should they
thank you very much :)

   But what remains consistently cool is this
your articles. COOL!! And the cheerful manner of writing
Comrade's review ZE PAGANis very pleasing, and
amusing. And in the selection of articles, you have no equal
nykh. I'm telling you this for sure. So we will
wait for number 10. I really want to re-
thief.

C: some people don’t like the articles, others like them
Apparently, this is a matter of taste. Just not
Is it clear what articles we are talking about? Exactly
about ours (i.e. (C)BDA) or in general. But that's it
Thanks equally, and to our article authors
it will also be nice, because it’s not in vain that they
are trying. In the end, for the benefit of the Spectrum
room everything is done. And about number 10 -
here you go, read for your health :)

   By the way, ahcan you give me the logarithms?
which you used to make the screensaver in #9. Bo
I liked these multicolor lines.

C: you probably wanted to say algorithms.
I kind of gave Ze Pagan some sorts so that he
threw them among the people. Ask around, maybe
who has it. Somehow I didn’t guess them in DV
place. Maybe in the next issue there will be
tsya. I just don’t want to beat the article, but
It's not fun to place them naked.

*  more announcements, more rules, more
more good article.

C: we'll try :) But you yourself can at least
write one article, and we will write it
We'll publish it soon.

*  less blizzard, about PC, and Amiga and pro-
whose nonsense is bullshit. Let's support Spectrum, go-
spoda!!!!..!

C: here! Our man! That's right, less sa-
ksa and more rulez;) This issue has
article about pussy, but only, purely, so that
The "Another World" section was busy. And in
the rest is only Spectrum, Speckrum and more
once Spectrum. As grandfather said...
what's his name... oh, sclerosis - carbon monoxide disease,
nothing hurts, but there is news in the morning;)Best wishes.
  Sincerely Vitaliy.

C: and the same to you. Goodbye.

 for
any information on this matter! I'll consider
any suggestions! I really would like to
not to drink second-hand, but if there are no options, then
I'll take a used one.

ZP: Look, or better yet, read the same ZX-Format!

RT: That's all for now! Try to find
time to answer me! I would be very grateful
flax!

ZP: Well, well, we are grateful to you too,
but next time, Dmitry, try,

Go ahead, send it electronically! A
then type 20 kilobytes of text from a sheet for me
I wouldn't want to do it again ;)
