(C) Filosof MDM 253-5230 - Beauty will save the world... Hello, dear readers. On this time I decided to propose to your judgment some thoughts on the topic of salvation Speckies from death. Encouraged me to write this article is primarily love for creation of Clive Sinclair. From my past reasoning you might come to the conclusion that 1) Specky almost died; 2) what am I crazy; 3) that I'm wrong. In truth speaking, I don’t know what conclusions you could draw come - no one has an opinion yet expressed, at least I didn’t talk about it I know. Although I am deeply convinced that Spectrum is doomed, but I still hope for how it is possible to delay this tragedy for a long time. The attentive reader might have noticed that expressedsuch an opportunity. Maybe mine thoughts will seem somewhat chaotic to you, but excuse me, I write as best I can. The main reason for the death of the Spectrum I considered moving to other platforms simple users and the reluctance of anyone switch to ZX. This week my opinion has not changed, and therefore the main decision I see the question about the fate of Specky precisely in them. We need to raise our popularity Speckies among the people. But how can you not having neither mass nor high quality, no obvious application? The only possibility is talent. Only with him we are still staying afloat. Only with him we still keep the price low product (although there is another way to say it). Only with him can we survive. Yes you and you yourself could probably already notice that where No matter how you look at Specky, he’s all talented. Alone very good musicians. Others skilled programmers. Still others draw amazingly. Only a talented person will squeeze out everything You can use this car to make a name for yourself. Who can name names right now though if only the chief programmer, who wrote on pc UFO: Enemy unknown ? A on Specky? I think there's more to come there is no need for evidence, you already have it you understand. And that's what I meanI'm leading. Let Specky will become a platform for creativity. Let there will be more beautiful drawings, amazing music, attractive dems and of course more competitions like Enlight. "Spectrum for creativity!" - let's go with With this slogan we will enter the new millennium. What a millennium. Hey users! Give it up consoles, try yourself in drawing music, look for some books and master them assembler! Enough with the boring expression faces wait for the good guys from N... they'll write a new game. Are you worse ? Maybe you don't have brains or hands? This is the only way we can stay Sinclairists and not look with envy at some pc. No, then you can look at the same pc with regret - you have you ever heard of an ordinary PC guy, after playing DOOM, sinks Corel Draw to finish your drawing ? Although there is no need to go too far representatives of other platforms - the same it could be you too. And there is no need to renounce from other machines - what bothers you except Speckies also have a PC or Amiga. I also want to say that many people came up with all this without articles similar to mine. I was especially struck by a delightful example of the city's inhabitants Rybinsk. Apart from their amazing atmosphere creativity for the sake of pleasure they alreadyexperimented using Specky as a music computer - arranged a small concert at the local club, and in their opinion it was a success. Yes and how could it fail? Better rave than in Rave Time Xtasy I'm not on any cassette heard. We may well release it on cassette an anthology of music from Spectrophones and I I think she would have been successful. Of course, without fresh arrival of new ones nothing will happen to users. Without we will soon be left without proper advertising a fresh influx of new talent. But what what's the problem? So much is published computer paper publications about pc and at least one of them would have a line about ZX-Spectrum. How they like to fight among themselves our electronic publications, and although someone could write a note on advertising rights in the same Radio Amateur. A then you buy it and see an article about incompatibility of ATM-Turbo with any crap. If you truly love Specky, then at least make it popular among your friends. I advertised a C-DOS modem I saw it only once in some Minsk advertising newspaper. But ours, dear Reading Radio Amateur - Your Computer published in Minsk, why not write there. And then they complain about the absence demand. Less swearing -more to do. Not you can draw, code, solder or at least write music - become famous yourself a large collection of screensavers, dig information about Rodionov’s childhood or organize a new Enlight, but in your own city. A gigantic space for activity opens with the creation computer networks. If you really don't care not capable, but can dial and send funny or erotic remake of Red You will definitely get the hats. No untalented people, have a bad mood and fear will disgrace itself. There won't be these two obstacles - there will be a Spectrum. There will be a Spectrum - we will be. P.S. Everything you read here was written under the influence of an impulse of the soul. Very free expression of thoughts and I hope there won't be any grammatical errors. an obstacle for you to fully comprehend. P.P.S. All reviews and attacks for this and Please download my previous article at Delerium BBS, preferably before one in the morning. P.P.P.S. I apologize if I could someone offend, I was just trying to expressfacts. LPR> Another letter on this topic, came from Werewolves.
