Remembering the old joke that "Chukchi
not a writer, a Chukchi - a reader"(or something
in this kind) I would like to irreconcilably separate
deal with the letters you sent
or to the addresses of the editorial office of "OBERON".
Letters, I must admit, there were a fair number -
lo. We were especially pleased with the letters from “us-
standing", real readers, and not from all
what kind of VASYA SOFTWARE are there, which are written for the purpose of
exchange software. 3a years ago (main
the flow of letters was in winter/spring) I can’t
conduct names all who wrote, their textsmessages etc. However, I want to once again
Please confirm that all letters have been received study
appreciated and taken into account...tnx!
At the moment, when already "typed" number,
one more letter appeared. You can
read below. Let us leave this
opus without comments, although I (M.M.A) sharply
I do not agree with the author in terms of freshness
software available in the city. I repeat:"In Sa-
Mare for reasonable money you can buy practical
everything in the shortest possible time!” By
at least I do forthis is all possible
possible!
Due to the fact that we have another number
this is the last time, we recommend the publication to others
formagazines to study the comments of the correspondent
pondent and take them into account when creating
giving away your children!
Let's give the voice of the people the floor:
"Hello, Dear editor
"OBERONa", writes to youSergey Moskalev,one
from many, I hope, Samara users
tel ZX-SPECTRUM. My friends and I live in
very wonderful area of Samara - on Su-
hoy Camapke. U us all there are: two rivers
(Volga and Tatyanka), one island (Koroviy),
two deserts (reclaimed for construction). And
everything is good with us, only one thing is bad -
We are too far from the hippodrome,
main ZX-Soft distribution center
and places meetings of Samara spektrumists.
Therefore, with new software, not everything is fine and
we are in a kind of information isolation
tions. There are only three of us Speccy lovers:
Andrey Plotnikov, Anton Luzhnov and me, widely
known in narrow circles, or rather triangular
Nick, as, respectively, Andy, LAS-soft,
and SUMcoder. And communication, as you understand,
not enough if someone doesn't go
on a Sunday trip to the Hippodrome. The only
a great source of food for thought are
various electronic magazines and newspapers.
But, unfortunately, they are usually satisfied
but outdated, and although it is pleasant to read them,
but it’s a little offensive: you read, you’re happy, but
what are you reading? - something that everyone has forgotten for months
back and have long been enjoying something different, new, and
SPECTRUM life is passing past you. Not
only all-Russian, but also Samara no-
You won’t recognize the news. That's why we are unspeakable -
but rejoiced when found out (from very
reliablesource) that you release
Number 5 is yours, I would even say ours-
wow, wonderful magazine. We are happy about this
fall even more than your third
place on FUNTOP (we are very happy for you). Di-namistic music, cool video (if
far look, then it seems that you are looking
TV), the authority monster who took over the situation
in country under your control, magnificent
digitization (I thought that out of the blue
radio), we think, appreciated
according to dignity.
"OBERON" -our favorite magazine (don't count
for the compliment). I really like the style
wife, comradely and friendly.
Varied content allows, I think
May satisfy the interests of various
representatives of the ZX world. Most interesting-
special for me, for example, categories are
"educational education", "hardware", "about everything" and "review".
They are listed in the order in which I
I am looking through them. Out of respect I read the section
"from the editor". Here's my friend Andy first
looks into the "scroll" and "box". Everything
I suggest adding a few new rubles
Rick (not to the detriment of existing ones, of course):
ASSEMBLER - bring interesting,
fun, useful procedures (a couple or three).
NO LAMERS! - expand specific
common examples of lameness in software
framing so that beginners are not allowed
whether this in your works.Very, you know
Is it a shame to be called a lamer just for
then, you don’t know and can do everything yet.
RUSSIAN HARD - tell us about what
done or done in Russia in the area
computer engineering. Tell us about the development
kah based on Russian processors and se-
Z-80 family.
If you enter at least one category,
I will be very grateful to you.
In conclusion I want to say: we are sure
that "OBERON" is very needed by all Samara
for spektrumists like a sip of fresh chilled
of beer on a hot day, like a cup of hot
th tea in the harsh winter. And in general, in Samara,
in a city with suchtalented programmers
tami not may not be own
electronicmagazine. Let me wish
I wish you creative success, success in your studies and
work, moral and material well-being
receipt.
Let me finish here.
SUMcoder/ASA. 09.28.98.
P.S. If you don’t want to, you can enter nothing
damn, just don’t give up the release of “OBERONA”,
please!
