   Hi! Here I am. Long time no see. A
all for the reason that I'm stupid
I decided to fold my newspaper. Now
I finally understand how difficult it is. Therefore
I appeal to everyone who comes to mind

   Well, I’ve spoken out. Now what about
events taking place on our network:       
   After reading the latest issues
Lprint I have developed a stable
the opinion that Speccy will die before

moment), and Minsk ZXNet is dead already
several days.  A good half of sysops

can we talk? Gentlemen SysOps, you yourself
you do not want the Minsk network to have

If so, then your idea was a success. But
if every user and every system
at least tried to do it for Net (that is
for HIMSELF) what comes out of him
best of all, the network immediately changed

250 active users (as far as I can tell)
I know the total number of Sinclairists in our
capital is not less than this number) ? Let's

   Okay, I dreamed a little and that’s enough.
Now I want to turn to Comrade. Werewolves
(I've been meaning to for a long time, but I still can't
it worked).  I, of course, understand that you-

Lprint should not have been. Think for yourself, for what purpose?

I'm sorry, brother, but I don't understand you.
In my opinion, your explanations are like “to me
tired of stirring up the sleepy
users" are unconvincing;  look,
how many people are now trying to support
Lprint materials (for example, Hamer,
Ivan, Brom, Zevs, Filosof, Bobruisk residents,
Brest residents, etc. etc.). And you yourself, how
I see, in spite of everything, you write for

   2) "Protection of programs" (Does this include
any sense?)                        
   It would be very interesting to know your opinion
Sinclairists of Minsk, Brest, Bobruisk,
Grodno, Gomel, and everyone in general...         
   Oh!  I almost forgot about the most important thing:
Today is Lprint's next anniversary!
Number fifteen, after all.   In general,
congratulations to everyone who loves this newspaper

   In principle, the work of such a publication as

you need to highlight it in pink, for example.
Then click Extend and when prompted enter

code pink).  The result will belike this (instead of triangles there is a “√” sign):   
                                          
 To be, √Зor not to be, is question       
                                          
   Now everything after the word "or" will be pink-

 √What to be, √Зor √Хnot to be, is question
