yes:
1) Maccobooe dumping the best groups on other platforms.
2) Lack of new high-quality developments. And according toessentially, and
There’s nothing left to write, would you agree?...
3) Clogging the “Scene” with “toilet paper”. A lot of unnecessary
electronic newspapers and magazines. You are reading one of them now.
4) Conscription into the troops. This is the most important argument. bephycb I'm from

So, the best programs (in my opinion) that I have seen
on Spectrum:
Games: 1) Crime of the Santa Claus: Deja vu
2) black raven
3) 48 irons
3) Dizzy (all)
5) Pi*2r
Assemblers: 1) ALASM
2) ZXASM
Count. editors: 1) bGE
2) EDP
3) Art Studio
Journals: 1) all from Delirium tremens, excluding the earliest ones
(Funeral)
2) Black Crow (Cunty magazine. Readrepeatedly).
3) Spectrofon
Why Delirium tremens? Not at all because I am a member of

I started to hate the “scene” when division appeared

Thank you, Sir Sinclair, for your idea, for your brainchild, for
Spectrum. Peace to you and your ashes, ZX!..
