(S) Sponsor of Bolder group Monroe of Bolder group Nowadays, many words are increasingly heard that at home, in everyday life, Spectrum is used difficult to use, and accordingly, conclusions are drawn about the inconsistency Spectrum's usefulness as a home computer. Our group has been using it for a long time control system, which we called "Pistolet". This system takes on functions of BBS, PBX and clock with alarm. Complex of software and hardware includes: 1) CMOS clock based on domestic useddilnik "Glory"; 2) Power on and off circuit computer (Controlled by clock alarm through the drunken watchman Uncle Vanya; also controlled by a phone call to Housing office - a sober plumber answers the call Uncle Vasya is coming for half a liter. Half a liter mechanically connected to the power switch computer knowledge); 3) TR-DOS activation scheme when turned on Research Institute of Nutrition. Ensured by establishing new items on the "Enter" key of a red fragment bricks; 4) EMS + BADPROG overlay; 5) EWS or HONEY COMANDER + similar overlay to these programs; 6) PKUNZIPm (m - may work, but maybe not); 7) LARA CROFT for Pistol. Not yet we know what it is... The work will proceed as follows: zom: -At 23:00 the alarm goes off.-The watchman Uncle Vanya comes up and turns on computer power supply. -A piece of brick presses on the Enter key and activates TR-DOS. -The program is loading. -The current time is checked against the list of beings that can turn on a computer. The computer determines that at 23:00 it is necessary work like a BBS and runs a task WORK_WITH_BBS. -Set the response time of the bu- dilnik (1-2 hours ahead). -Some variables are set and the zero track crashes so that in case freezing, it was possible to blame everything on the re- food battles. -The EMS program starts and performs certain actions and returns to ROM TR-DOS at #0000. -With the help of a pussy standing nearby, prog- Ramma crawls onto some website and downloads it to the computer's hard drive. Pisyuk transmits the site as a picture in jpg format. The JPEGVdemo program starts and converts titrates the picture into a regular screen. Converted The new screen as a splash screen is sent to the caller's computer. In mind that the image conversion time can be can range from 1 to 20 minutes, before this is downloaded to the client’s computer MODplayer program to get started which also takes some time. And induring this time the computer user The driver is continuously reset. Program works out and returns to TR-DOS. -The next program starts - LARA CROFT, which formats the hard drive pussy, compacts the (already crashed) disk, and over this data writes the memorized directory created by previous programs (in in general, if the process reaches here, then the BBS owner is, in general, lucky). -Task WORK_WITH_BBS completed. Boo The clock is triggered and the program is installed sets a new time for its operation - for example at 7:00. At the same time the guard Vanya hears the alarm clock ringing and comes up and turns off the power. -At 07:00 the alarm goes off, the watchman Uncle Vanya turns on the power to the computer. -If the disk directory has not crashed, start- the task WORK_WITH_BBS repents and everything begins - first.
