ms> Hello Wolfgang. have you forgotten me yet?
;)
wo> good morning, Macros :-) (we have now
early morning) - yes, of course I remember :-)
ms> I scanned several pages
from "Paragraph" and I can send it to you if
you want.
Now I'm writing a text about Speck in
Germany, using information from your
letters.
wo> it would be nice. I think you already
I received the latest issue of my newspaper..
In general, I'm interested in everything related
with Speck, all over the world.
Winter has come, I don't like it
:-(
but there is time to feel nostalgic
("retrocomputing") ;-)
at the end of the week I'm going to a big one
computer exhibition and will take it with me
camera to take a few
picturesin the corner of the speck.
--
wo> hi, ms.
unfortunately, I was three for offline.
but now I'm back from the exhibition, and
I'm sending you a photo of me and mine
son (I hope you will understand who is where...).
I will develop my website. in plans
- place several photos from our
meetings.
--
ms> thanks for the photo
wo>hello, Macros.
I hate to say it, but two more for me
was cut off from the network and very on it
I miss you.
but now, I hope everything will be alright
ok. you can live for 5 days
without internet?
ms> when I finish working on the text
about Speck in Germany, I will either suggest it
the owner of a website for
publications, or I will publish them somehow.
I'm sure all of us will be interested in this.
wo> I will keep you updated on developments,
although the days fly by quickly and sometimes I
I ask myself what have I done forlast few hours..
ms> listen, now in Germany someone
writes software for Speck?
wo>for myself - perhaps, officially -
no.
ms> there are active commands or separate
people?
wo> from active teams - only
"Unbelievebles", and even those are not so active,
as before.
ms> at your meetings you look
computer hardware or classic
programs?
wo> both. our meetings are very
important to keep in touch. also
we watch new programs (mostly
ours), we have an emulator scene,
Well, let’s share our thoughts on
software/hardware.
ms> something new is being produced
(hardware, software)?
wo> Some people in our club work-
are above the most interesting at the moment
ment piece of hardware: zx-pc interface, which
rygives a 4-bit exchange with the PC screw.
I know that in Russia there is another way,
direct connection of the screw to the Spec. But this
the solution requires a lot of space in the workplace
table and in the computer case, so sometimes
It's not entirely convenient.
ms> now there is only one left in Russia
iron manufacturer: Nemo. They
making a KAY-1024 computer with a controller
drive. as for the software, then
there are a lot of teams and just people, but none of them
they do not lead large projects (such as
pussy, kolobok zoom).
Yesterday I received 2 issues of the Birdie newspaper.
very interesting :) unfortunately I don't
I know how to translate some points into
English, but the lyrics are very, very
funny :)))
Here's an example - how to cook "holy
Spectrum water" :)))
take the z80 processor, grind it and
place in a jar of water. this water you
can be used to wash your hands after
how you touch the PC, or to
wash your mouth if you say anything about pts
good..
no, not like that, well, I can’t do it right
translate.. :))
wo> but I got the idea...
--wo>hello, Macros.
...you write two letters, you receive three.
I've never been so sociable before
;-)
ms> these are the people who use software for themselves
they write - is it possible to use this software somehow?
look?
wo>one question from two people at once. I
I usually look for software like this, but not like that
just find it. we need to find it
people who want to show it
to the people. there are some people who
saw only a few cool demos and
believe that their programs do not correspond
some standard. sad..
ms> where can I look at the software of these
Unbelievebles?
wo> since they are demosceners, look for them
programs on www.zx-demo.org
ms> it's great that you're at the party and the hardware
look, and prog..
Unfortunately, now in Russia there is no
There is a party purely for speck. in
Most are all multi-platform.
wo>sooner or laterwe will be the same
most. but there will be real fans
meet every year.
ms> it's nice to hear that you are at the party and
exchange thoughts on hardware/software.
Speccy alive all over the world in 2002
year!!
wo>sometimes I understand that our club
mostly rests on
enthusiasts. but it's getting more and more difficult
select material for the newspaper. for example,
in 2003 we will be 13 years old (name
me the editor who lasted
longer)
