...Time passed and the calendar began to quietly waft yellowface
in the fall. But it was still August... Oh yes, more on that later. In the beginning,
as usual, it was Spectrum.                                      
                                                                
    It happened somewhere at the end of 1997, when I, overwhelmed
the idea of modemization and electronic connection, as well as the excitement
sharing software with all edges, wrote in not so distant
from my city Glazov - the city of Perm, the only city
millionaire, still in the European part of our vast
Russia and at the same time - on the approaches to Western Siberia. So,
Not expecting to get an answer quickly, I, understandably, thought,
when this did happen, and Dr. Dismal answered me (in the near
past Dr. Dead).  A conversation ensued about plans for the bright
a future that has not ended until now. Soon I
(Dr.C0dех) joined the ranks of the still rather unstable Light
Fitire Groir...

    The place was definitely chosen, and this place is called Perm!
There were several, but quite compelling, objective reasons for this,
failure to comply with which could lead to the adjournment of the meeting for
an even brighter future than our group's name suggests.
Firstly, my visit to Perm definitely gave me a chance
to see not only a city in which I have never been before, but also
get acquainted not only with Light Fitire Group, but also with
well-known group on the Spectrum stage 4th Dimension.
Secondly, if it were not for the city of Perm, then what kind of point would it be on

as many as 15 people who would like to come visit me
from the city of Perm?                                                
                                                                
    The date of my arrival was not known until very recently
moment, but the framework was already outlined - the end of August. But before that
The event was still July.                                          
                                                                
    In mid-July, Light Fitire Group included one of
Glazov groups, which until that time had been on the Spectrum in
within the framework of X-Team in the city of Izhevsk. Members of Digital Dreams Group
Psychotron and Ork are not yet completely known on the scene, but they already have
promising plans for the future.  So, in some July
in the information vacuum, I’m trying to make Insanity#1 with Ork, and
The newspaper is lopsided, but it still comes out.  It’s not worth talking about this now
remember, although this was the starting point for many that
has already happened or is about to happen.  Reaction of others
groupmates turned out to be quite ambiguous, which was also
a great catalyst for the upcoming meeting on Kama."           
                                                                
Orc: "...Once upon a timeon an August morning when I'm quiet
I was sleeping, and a delicious phone call rang in my room. I,
sleepy, he picked up the tube of the device. It was none other than
Dr. Codex the Sirvivor, who informed me that no more than an hour
a package arrived back from Dr. Dismal. Without hesitation I

Sрv: "When Ork talks about early morning, then this is in his
understanding, most likely late afternoon, since during the day
(daily rest) he leaves only at 8 or 9 am and
returns from there at 5-6 pm. It was like this all summer.
With his nightly vigil, he finally annoyed his neighbors both from above and
from below and from the side, i.e. on the right (Why on the right? Yes because
on his left is the wall of the house with access to the balcony!), as a result of which
quiet neighbors are hiding in their country houses and waiting for

 Ork: "...Having reached Sirv, I, by the expression of his face,I understand
that something is wrong.  - Well, what happened? - I asked. -
Do you know where we ended up with our newspaper? - Where ? - I asked with

What is this? “Hey, read it,” Doc said in a fallen voice and
by loading the first available commander (also
viewer) began to show texts, of which there were
a lot (about 4-5, I don’t remember exactly).

    But what is noteworthy is that after we read
letters again, it seemed to us that they were not so angry at
us.  In general, as you repeatedly read the texts and
understanding their meaning, our attitude to what was happening became
more and more lenient and soft, especially as they wrote
Dr.Dismal and CyberJack, they recently went out for a birthday party
Silver's, which does not last less than three days... Discarding
all critical views and taking note, things went their own way

another invitation from Dr. Codex to Perm. According to Cyber
Jack, in case of no-show, he (CJ), making a trip to
Vereshchagino, he’ll pick up Dr.Codekh and then he (DrC) won’t
get out."

It turns out that I also wanted to make a trip with Doka. And
after a short conversation, Dr.C0dех, a kind-hearted man,

there were no tickets for the Kama and all morning trains, so

it seemed.

    The second point in our program was a visit to one of
owners of Amiga 1200. But first our path passed through

    While making another crossing across the street, our path was blocked

It wasn't exactly a convoy of variegated four-wheelers.

about 120 or 130 cars. Moreover, they moved so slowly that
we stood at the intersection for about 15 minutes... All this was not
just like that, because it was not a rehearsal before the holiday
driver, not something else from this opera. Well, here they go for a ride
around the city - they measure the length of streets in dump trucks. No joke, na
in fact there was something to see - from antediluvian carriages, to
ultra-modern fire engines and other bank armored cars.
Here is such a case.

from which we made one very interesting conclusion. Moreover, when
we tried to understand something in GOA 4k, then we got nothing
it turned out because  knocked on the window... (CJ lives on the first floor). For
Siril was standing by the window.  "Oh, Cyril has arrived!" - CJ blurted out joyfully and
ran to open the door. Then another person came next -
Diver^4D!  Not every spektrumist will be able to see a person
who in one year alone took prizes almost
on all parties in the schedule! Diver walked into the room and said hello
with everyone who was in it, even with CJ's cousins, who
had nothing to do with Spectrum!                        
                                                                
    What else can you talk about in such a situation? It is natural that
It’s impossible to remember absolutely everything and the main thing is to single it out from everything
heard very difficult, but then a live exchange of news began
from the Internet, etc. Diver gave us all his pictures,
shared plans for the future that everyone else still knows about
premature :) Siril also gave us his works, we
copied to capacity.  Then they joked about it for a long time
all sorts oflame source codes, the owner of which I happen to own
managed to become. On this basis there was even a precedent - arose
desire to upload these sources to some Speck
server!  :)) Later, taking out an Orc copy of 12 secret books
started playing this game. Diver completed it in about 15 minutes, but the final
there was no cit - the copy was faulty :(                     
                                                                
    Time passed - it was already time to get ready to see Dr. Dismal for
work. Leisurely proceeding to the trolleybus stop I, Orc,
CJ, Diver and Siril rode in an almost empty trolleybus
almost to the last stop. The conductress was just sitting
behind us and I was very interested to know how this ticket
the worker reacted to our informal conversation.  Judging by
Siril's reactions, because I was sitting with my back to this very one, and he was facing, -
The conductor sat with her ears hanging and listened to Diver tell
about Paradox'99, Doxycon'99 and other foreign ZX news. :))  
                                                                
    Having walked along the Pemsky recreation park, we taxied straight to
massive metal door, behind which he was already waiting for us
Dr.Dismal.  In fact, he was waiting for us hypothetically, because,
when he opened this door, he looked pleasedsleepy :)    
                                                                
    Having settled down in the "janitor's room", it's time to figure out
4.  Of course, there were mugs and spoons. But water for tea
left much to be desired.  Accustomed to seeing machinations in everything
DeBilla G., I noticed that this is nothing other than the result of sabotage
the last one.    However, Dr. Dismal, taught this water
de-rust, boiled the kettle and off we went.               
                                                                
    At a fairly large airfield table, a bunch of
rolls, sausages, jam, drank a can of condensed milk, about 15 mugs
tea, We also managed to breed Siril's cucumbers, which came with him

material for discussion.  Diver complained about the slowness

winner gfx comro; Siril spoke about his plans for the future.
After a hearty dinner, after seeing off Diver and Siril, we went to torture the PC.
The library itself also inspired the Spectrum motif, so
as here we encountered an ambiguous name - in the kitchen there was
refrigerator with the name "Codry", which was interpreted only as
by omitting the letter 'e' in the word 'coders'.  Like this,it turns out
Previously, special refrigerators were produced for storing encoders in

than the regional library for visually impaired people. Frankly, I
I have long wanted to get into such a library out of curiosity, and now,
a madman's dream come true :) Books are books, I still read them
I don’t know how (in the sense of a book for the blind), but here’s something anyway
I managed to read it.                                               
                                                                
 Having walked to the main victim (pc), we managed to do
the following: exhaust photoshop with Windows until the last moment
kilobytes;  scan a bunch of all kinds of graphics; see a bunch
int and demo;  At the same time, listen to the album ORZ by on Technics
Black Lord^LFG, and also: drink some tea again, torment
Shalaevsky emulsion, read fidosh echoes, etc. The end of everything
this night vigil was caused by a sedentary blackout: CJ fell asleep after
table in a schoolboy pose on the back desk; I tried to take a nap
on chairs in the reading room, but it was somehow cold. INend
finally in the morning, having fought off sleep a little, we started talking again about
Di:Halt, which should have ended by now.
                                                                
    The day, or rather the day, was inexorably approaching the end. It was coming
morning of the day, when Orc and I will already be far from Perm. Here it is. 
                                                                
    Dr. Dismal remained at his combat post, CJ went with us to
station to see off our persons. Our walking tour took place on
a very optimistic note. Walking past the sign of a travel agency -
"Spectrum", for some reason everyone fell silent for a second... Then it started
rain, and CJ, Ork and Dr.C0dex loudly throughout the deserted street
talked about Tasm4.12, Storm1.3, Alasm3.8, quirks
Noonzena, MMA, and about the future ChV-2, which it wouldn’t hurt to order
at Slava himself...

    This cannot be called a phenomenon. If you want, it's creative

these three days there will be no symbolism. Is this an event in
LFG and 4D lives? Probably yes - if we assume that we can do everything
meet no more than once a year. Everything that is said is rather
chronology, not analysis. Something is left behind the text, because
It is premature to advertise these ideas. But everything has its time.    
                                                                
 Acknowledgments: Many thanks are expressed to all those who
was able to take a break from work for these 3 days and devote his time to us
Precious time, especially for the connections of CJ, Dr. Dismal, Diver.    
                                                                
 Results: New acquaintances have been made. However, this is not new
:) The main thing is the process of communication.                               
                                                                
    Well, what else can you write here about what was, is and
there will be.  Of course, we couldn’t do everything that happened here.reflect.
The main thing, of course, is that the meeting took place. Conclusions
categories will wait for now, or maybe they won’t exist. All this is simple
Spectrum.  He forces us to act this way and not otherwise.
The end of the outgoing century is the life of the Spectrum.  But the century is not yet
ended. We all have one more year - the last year of the 20th century.
Let's make it bright!
