    Our second ten began to count
most wonderful newspaper. And this section today
will fill in the text I typed, like this
has already become accepted among us, but completely different
goy, but also directly related to
NETUS networks.
    I present to you lyrical reflections
sysop Rulez Station (VEC-04.00), Alek-
Sandra Ragozina about speck and ours
Dear users.
    So...


        Some thoughts and more

      Summing up the results of the competition announced
in January, I came to a not very comforting
my output: users do nothing
want.
      At the same time, pay no attention to any gingerbreads.
they don't pay attention. At the beginning of the competition a short story
5-6 people wrote, but almost all
lamed in the echo and calmed down at that. Not
despite the fact that the main prize was Prof.
ROM 256Kb (the cost of such a ROM today is
nice moment 11 dollars), I received in
There is only one short story in the finished version.

    Therefore, some thoughts come to mind:

 1. Users today
just got lazy (or they were so fed up
sit at the computer) that they don't even
are thinking about upgrading their car.

 2. Most users have enough
money so that it can be easily upgraded and
calmly play games, not thinking about anything
May.The second idea is not very plausible,
because today's user is not
able (or simply unwilling) to pay
real money for worthwhile software and
iron products. This can be traced to
various examples.  For example, the distribution
General Soundlow popularity among users
not very large, and not until the autumn crisis
more than 10% users had this music
cal card. Today these figures, if
have changed, not much.

      If we consider the first thought, then
What happens is this: Many people don’t have the opportunity
opportunities to improve their machines, but
even if everyone gets the opportunity
hands down.

      PEOPLE, LET'S MOVE!!!!

      It's not good to abandon your computer
to the far corner.  Currently being developed
a lot of peripherals and software that can
bring our platform to a decent level
Ven, but all this is being developed alone -
mi. And if everyone doesn’t help, then they
nothing will work out. Was thrown into the net
information on the video card collected
Vladimir Pavlyuchenko, but no one bothered
even lived to write what he thought about
this.  And how can you create normal
things when no one is interested in them???

     Looking through the echoes you can see that in
They are written almost exclusively by sysops.

     Echo users are not interested!

     Soap traffic is minimal. After all, I received
It appears that the network is only just functioning,
it has enormous opportunities for development
tia, but it’s the laziness of users that gets in the way
networks will further develop.  All that is now
created and working. Almost completely working
melts on the enthusiasm of sysops.

But this cannot go on forever!

      Eventually the network will wither and through
a year and a half will turn into a set of separate
nal stations, if they will be available by then
exist.  After all, the sysop invests his
personal money, time, nerves in the development of se-
ty and Spectrum platformsin general. And don't see
for no result, any person starts
is trying to lose patience. Anyone will get bored
waste himself if his work is of no use to anyone
needed.  Tired of banging your head against the wall
and see that no one is paying attention to you
attention.



      All of the above are my thoughts
for a year and a half of maintaining the station.
