 To everyone who brings their computer to PMS
(Spectrum Modernization Point, former
EMZ), Kotsoft promised to donate a box
beer. Crowds of Sinclairists rushed to the PMC and
everyone wanted only one thing (here scientists

led to the appearance in Kot'dum of the left
faction "Cockroach 1024000000".            
 In the morning they learned about what was happening in Zet-

to Kotlas, but by noon the beer ran out and
the whole party scattered to their towers.
After the president found out about this

take down the network because of nonsense.
