THE COMPUTER OF MY DREAM.
"Oh, how many wonderful discoveries we have
The spirit of enlightenment is preparing
And experience, the son of difficult mistakes.
And genius, friend of paradoxes.
And chance, God, is an inventor."
A.S. Pushkin

Outside the window there was a nasty October
weather, a fine, nasty rain was pouring, and
only the bright sun on the monitor screen
reminded that summer sometimes happens.
For ten minutes now I have been brazenly rummaging around
screw from the boss, under the guise of cleaning him

with a golden frame indulged in gluttony,
I intended to transmit over the local network

use for your own
self-education, and most of it will have to
ruthlessly destroy, because
my patron has strange tastes and me
I'm not at all interested in information like:
how to raise a herd at home
pigs, or, even worse, like from 486
make DENDY.
"... How manysince I told you to
you didn't touch my computer" -
the head of the department yelled in a booming bass voice
on the distribution of household computers
like "ZX-SPECTRUM" - "And in general, in my

Sergeevna, not you, damn you."
Still, I didn’t have time. But you have to pull
time.
"Actually, I thought that there
“pretty dirty,” I mumbled quietly.
"Get out, and henceforth know that if
I'll see you here again, you will
sweep the floor outside. Do you understand?"
“Yes, I understand,” I whispered. But he hasn't yet
knew that while he was reading me a terrible
rebuke, my little, decrepit
"Spectrum" has already pumped into itself and stuffed
by screw, everything this fat guy had
goat in his IBM...
In the evening, as usual after work, I
went into a small "gadushnik" to
taste a mug - another beer, to taste
resembled old socks. Spitting
from such a buzz, I quietly wandered home,
while humming an old Scottish

Polish
"Yes, what a weather!" - almost
shouting, whispering, I said when
a truck passing me
showered me with terrible forcewave of mixture

When I got home, I emptied my pockets and
boots dirty slush, and leaving behind
himself in huge puddles, began to wade
through heaps of rubbish that were nothing
other than my books. In five minutes
I was already sitting in front of the terminal.
It was a hard day and I needed
put the nervous system in order.
One and a half hours of playing Python completely
calmed and relaxed me. Now you can
do something less pleasant.
"Okay, let's see what we have today.
new guy." - I said out loud, digging into
a huge number of files that I
brazenly stole from the fat boss. Files
were different, text, graphic and
even musical ones.
And then I came across one very
interesting file, these were records of what
then a scientist from Armenia. Apparently my boss
I was surfing the net and came across some
idiot who proposed to our company
cooperate in the field of expansion
"SPECCY" ... Well, let's see what it is
records...
I'm very lucky! This file contained
a lot of some diagrams with detailed
description. After quickly looking through them, I realized
what did this scientific maniac come up with as a
regular Spectrum -128" make it super
computer, and in many ways superior
Amiga and not to mention the "pussy".
The parameters of the “rework” were as follows:
QUANTITY OF MICROPROCESSORS z-80 - 500 pcs.
PROCESSOR CLOCK FREQUENCY - 15 MHz
MEMORY (RAM) - 1 GB
GRAPHICS RESOLUTION 4096x2048
COLOR PALETTE 90 million colors;
EACH POINT WITH ITS OWN (out of 50 million) COLOR
QUANTITY OF HDD up to 30 pcs
Plus to all this, complete emulation and
tracing pisyuk, amiga and spectrum
48/128. And it’s not his place to talk about the price - this one
"comp" will cost only twice
More expensive than regular Spectrum 48k!
Imagine how I felt when
I read the text to the end. But what about me?
an avid electronics engineer was more surprised
in total, this is the entire elementary base
was assembled on production chips
Armenia...
From that day on I firmly decided to devote
your life to this amazing development.
I studied the circuit, laid out the board, began
collect parts.
I even sent a letter to Armenia to
find out some details on the assembly "SUPER"
COMPUTER". All day long I sat at home and waited.
response from the inventor of my “dream”...
And the answer came, but not from him, but from
his mother. Here's what she writes:
"Uv. Alexey, currentlyBasyr is not at home. Doctors came to us yesterday
from the hospital and took my son with them,
without telling the diagnosis, but one of ours
relative, when he learned about what happened,
said: not complete decoding of the cortex
brain.
When my son was put into the ambulance
help and put on him a strange shirt with
long sleeves, and these sleeves
tied on the back in a knot, Basyr said
me that he will return soon. Although I'm not like that
I think because when his father invented
coffee grinder with a built-in disk drive, its
they took him away too, since then I haven't seen him anymore
I saw it. Well, it’s okay, Basyr won’t disappear, he
I’m a great guy, he’s just like his father.
With respect to you, ROSE LUXEMBOURG."
This is the story that happened to me in
1996
Needless to say, I couldn't give

achieved certain results. I am life

this until the colleagues began

P.S. And the food here is good, neighbor

Okay, bye, otherwise I’ll skip the cycle
