MY REPLY TO PEACE USER
New ENLIGHT, AMIGA in the darkness,
SPECTRUM forever imperishable....
And everything that is happening now
in the country
Also part of the UNIVERSE!

Dear Peace User! I can't leave without
answer to your question about my personal-
ty, because the global nature of this problem is more
bigger than it is. So below, you and everyone
Samara (I emphasize the regional sign-
note - I’m not yet concerned about the scale of the country -
I chuckle) SPECTRUM users, you’ll find out
who is M.M.A, and why does he call
himself as the Leader of All Samara Hackers
Overall it will look like an autobiography
with elements of suggestion, but I think that you
you can read this to the end and understand
in general. I wish the same for everyone else, in-
interested in my personality.
Somewhere in the late summer of 1978, when
School holidays are already over, and classes in educational
institutions have not yet begun, the light was born -
is none other than himself Leader - Ve-
faceless and terrible M.M.A.
His birth was accompanied by thunder
eruptions and eclipses of the Sun, Moon and
Oberon. Many people's balls got stuck in their rolls -
ki, and many never noticed the appearance
M.M.A, as they were passionate about the celebration
Day of Soviet Cinema.
Less than two years have passed since Clive Sinclairinvented the first computer from the ZX line...
Meanwhile, M.M.A grew and multiplied. Somewhere
by the beginning of the nineties of our table-
tia, the masses became aware of ZX-PE-
VOLUTION (not to be confused with REVOLUTION) and in Sa-
Mare, then still in Kuibyshev, began to appear
the first points of distribution as
the computers themselves and the software for them. One
of such centers became, oddly enough, Av-
Central train station. Living nearby
from this place, M.M.A simply could not help but
undergo computer cultivation
nyu.
By the middle of '92, he had "BLUE-
TEZ-2", and after a year - "PENTAGON-128.
Another six months later something significant happened
event: a person was found who could
insert the drive cable into the
connector and the drive was able to start connecting
fulfilling their direct responsibilities
tey.
Having visited Moscow in the summer of 1994, M.M.A
I brought with me the only disc I bought
Oddly enough, at SOFTSTAR. Everything went in
the channel, as it went, until after
six months, M.M.A accidentally did not go to the store
zine underthe name "SERVICE", known at that time
time is like a large dot on the SPECTRUM map
Samara. In this store the seller is stubborn
told customers about completely new games
ry only on 128KB and at the same time tried to pro-
give exactly that disc from Moscow. Already then-
yes, the thought of a strange thing crept into M.M.A’s brain
system for delivering programs to one’s hometown.
Soon this store closed, and
I had to get the programs somewhere...
This is how M.M.A became acquainted with the underground trade
the big tycoon - VASILYEV YURIY. But
It turned out that he is not the first
authority in the delivery of new programs.
So came the cold summer of 1995....
This summer M.M.A, as usual, went
to Moscow, but this time with a firm decision
bring back as much as possible with you
disks with new toys, demos and systems
mine. M.M.A carried the first SOFT disc with him
FROM SAMARA vol.1, which included
programs of our city programmers.
Thus began the revival of SPECTRUM in SA-
MARE and SAMARA's entry into the global SPECTRUM
arena! Today, I, (M.M.A) am the only
the bearer of everything new and
progressive in our entire city.
Only I have absolutely fresh programs
frames from all over the country, only I know
where, what, and how much, only I can organize
create some kind of programming process, and
then take care of spreading the semi-
special program. If tomorrow I leave
SPECTRUM, then the day after tomorrow all of you, dear
Hey Samarans, SPECCY users, you will find yourself
not behind the native and familiar 192*256 screen, but
for some vulgar 640*480 or that
worse, you'll go to DENDY. Leaving me with
SPECTRUM will lead to the complete collapse of everyone
connections with other cities. New programs
will not come to the city, and our Sa-
Mar software products will not be seen
light.
Besides, I'm one of the few who knows
what and how to write, what programs
necessary, and which ones are not so necessary, etc. etc.
For example, group STARSOF KELADAN,in pre-
a conspiracy with which I entered in the wrong way
for a long time, consists of beautiful, gifted
programmers who want to write software for people
beamed SPECTRUM.
But essentially, they, knowing how to program,
could not benefit the country because
the whole style of thinking, all the principles that
they included in their programs were not
true and not suitable for the current moment
time.
Having seen the first number of OBERON, and then
Having participated in its hacking, I realized that if
right now to support these guys,
be able to provide music, graphics, ideas
and in the end it’s easy to explain that
is necessary for a simple user, then from an obviously mistake-
barrel magazine project for the city, maybe
turn out to be excellent competitive
a product that you are not ashamed to show to the country.
Most of my ideas were implemented in
second issue of the magazine. But with today
From a point of view, I consider this number a failure -
nom, and I sincerely hope that this third
the number will be exactly as I see it.
If, again, today II'll leave OBERON,
and in general from SPECTRUM to some
stinking "Penthium", then the magazine instantly
will lose music, articles, distribution in
other cities and much more.
Thank God, I'm not going to do that!
And therefore I ask you not to challenge my
title of Leader of the Hackers of Samara and pro-
sneeze of regalia. If another worthy appears
nice man, I'll be happy to look at
him, but I doubt that there will be any in the city
another so active senile person,
which is ready day and night, entirely and completely
Dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to SPECTRUM's cause.
I TOOK YOU TO SPECTRUM, I'LL TAKE YOU THROUGH
TO THE CORPSES OF THE FALLEN LAMERS, IN THE GLIGHT WILL BE-
MOREAMIGA!
I hope everyone understood everything. On this I want
finish my speech, take the podium,
I shuffle and leave.
