I read all your magazines and ACNews, last one─
nie even with great interest.
I recently reinstalled the system, and together
from Spectaculator installed UnrealSpeccy with
your changes. You're great for not bro─
you do things like this.

I also re-read it somewhere, there Mednonogov
offered to compete to see who is faster than what
will release - he will have his own ChV2 or XL Design
ZX-Format #9. Neither one nor the other worked out.
Although it is reliably known that Ruster ka─

I decided to get all this - it would be noticeable─
specifically. I would take part in this.
└──────────────────── ────────────────────┘ 
A couple of times I tried to get through to them back in 
old years, but they said that the matter─ 
ly they won’t give it away, maybe they’ll make a magazine 
themselves... Since then, one article from there (as 
times Mednonogova) got on the Internet, but about 
the rest are still neither heard nor seen. 
It's a shame, because the magazine was interesting. But 
he was commercial and died because he was not 
stopped paying off...

I was happy about the release of Info Guide, but how
usually, for myself personally I haven’t found much information─
interesting materials.  Liked: inter─

shots), beeper, crapgames (not before─
narrowed down to read it in English) and
packers summary. MoreGray code and more─

Maybe I’ll find something more interesting later.

The splash screen is really well drawn.
I liked almost nothing about the music.

In any case, I wish AlCo and the whole team
good luck!

Thank you! There will be more of what you liked─ 
more, less of what you didn’t like :)

┌──────────────────── ────────────────────┐ 
At the beginning of May this year, our group
work began on preparing the next
th issue of the printed edition of 3aRulem and, in
looking for interesting information, I decided about─
go to the famous spektrumist Dmitry
Bystrov. And that’s when Dmitry said
me that Info Guide is being prepared for release
#11, and offered to participate in his convening─
Denmark Eight years later, new issue! This
grandiose and smacks of the event of the year!

I think there is no point in stopping separately─

I'm trying to tell you why.

Being the owner of a murdered unknown
Spectrum clone, the first time I saw this bug─
rnal on Pro of Novosibirsk spektrumist
Djoni. Over the years, I won’t even be able to say,
what kind of episode was it, but the impressions were─
The most corrosive ones were there! I still remember
that glass of beer, a fancy keyboard and
interface of a magazine unfamiliar to me at that time.
Any magazine was a novelty to me back then, but
the amount of information presented is simply
razhal, which is one of the characteristic
damn that time. Scene activity is simple

desktop computer.

In total, if I'm not mistaken (and I can), it turned out
14 Guid numbers under different names
(ZX-Guide, Inferno Guide, Info Guide).
The epic of unification with Inferno and beyond─
This change of name is clearly described in
Inferno Guide #5. Let's figure out the math─
It’s hard to understand the numbers, here’s an excerpt
from #6: “Before you is a new, unfamiliar magazine
Info Guide. He is the next one, the 2nd in a row
Inferno Guide, aka the 6th Inferno,
aka the 8th ZX-Guide, generally the 12th
edition from Invaders 8 + Inferno Division".
In short, it’s a real hassle).

True, the appearance of the combined edition
I didn’t like it, unlike the previous ones
numbers. Maybe I was just unusualto see such a shell, but constant you─
Kanye E and expressionless section icons
somehow stressed...

Now a little about the most important thing in any of the─
Denmark - about the content. This is what Alone wrote
Coder in the first issue of the magazine (then still
ZX-Guide): "...But the level of scientific information─
tions in all magazines obviously don’t suit me─
shaft".

Yes, undoubtedly, this one is informative
the magazine can be called one of the best for
the entire history of domestic electronic
press, but you can’t read most of the articles─
extremely difficult. Presentation style for everyday life─
the body is quite heavy, although I’m probably mute─
I'm lying a lot... Mostly to me
I just don’t understand what we’re talking about)))

But the amount of information provided is simply
amazes. Any reader can find in
magazine something of its own, and this is very important for
audience.

In general, against the background of the absolute absence
electronic press nowadays, ho─
I would like to wish Dmitry with all my heart─
progress of the new Info Guide, filled with field─
heat, interesting and understandable information on
to our beloved Speccy!
└──────────────────── ────────────────────┘ 
Thanks for the detailed review! 
Of course I couldn't keep something so controversial 
name like Inferno, and corresponding 
topics, and the Info prefix is much closer to us. 
This time the icons were replaced with 
new (animated), so I hope that 
the shell will no longer spoil the impression─
