                Hi Nemo!

:) I'll start this letter with words of apology for
previously written letter; I'm sorry
for obscene language. I'll have to belt
thread the situation and why I had to ru-
go back to the last letter.

1. I started to swear because it was over
my patience - tired of waiting for the computer...

2. Now I’ll tell you about my activities
on ZX-Spectrum and why I'm tired
wait. It started back in 1992. Tog-
Yes, I went to school, in seventh grade.
I once saw it at my school friend's place
computer - it was "Leningrad-48K" wu ZS (Zo-
new assembly).  That's when I got fired up. Not-
for a long time I begged my parents to

More precisely, I chose. You could choose two
option either "Binom-48" or "Lehning-
rad-48". I made a choice in favor of "Lening-
I'm glad." I took out the cassettes, copied the games and
system, but it didn’t last very long.
Having met my best friend (those-
of course he is my best friend).
Zverev Anton, I found out that he has a
there is Spectrum. at that time he had
"INTER-48", but with a disk controller
rum (more precisely it was a “shovel”, not a counter-
rollerball brought by his father from
St. Petersburg) and a 5'25 disk drive.

A month later, his father bought him a radio beam
in Khabarovsk "Pentagon - 128++". Here I am
and became completely infectedSpectrum.

Having bought a controller for the radio beam, dis-
leader, music processor and new power supply
Niya, I have improved my "Leningrad"
to a more or less "computer view"6 you
Can you imagine what kind of computer it was -
motherboard + controller + AU-8910
+ PSU + disk drive + fluoroplastic harnesses
wires

I started drawing well in ART-STUDIO,
started getting interested in programming and
break programs, let alone adapt and
there is nothing to steal.  But here by the year 95
128 games began to appear more and more
systems and more and more Russian programs.
You should have seen my surprise when I saw
the first release of "ZX-Formata". I realized
that I won’t “survive” for a long time on such a machine
(in the literal sense of the word). Having saved money, I
I went to the radio market in Khabarovsk. There I am
I bought myself a used Scorpion-256. I'm everything
began to “drown” more and more into the sea
software, games - in one word - I love spec-
cy!!!  But there’s a problem here (although from which side?
look), in 1997 I was drafted into the army
and I went to serve on the date. Thought about
Speccy never left me and I ordered
price list in LOGROSe (this is my first
letter), I learned about new developments -
GS, XTR-MODEM, etc. In the spring of '99 I was fired
leaked and the first thing I did was repair it
your Scorpion, because he began to bend,
or rather completely bent, not long before my
coming home.  After hanging Coxox I started
enjoy the music.I ordered from you
"ZX-Format", started programming. Summer
2000 My computer crashed again.

This time the cause of the breakdown turned out to be
simple - a microcrack in the track. Recover
having new Scorpion, I went to Khabarovsk and
looked on the INTERNET. Downloaded a bunch of new ones
software, games and music, came home. but
I won’t be able to enjoy the new for a long time -
elk, because  breakdown again this time
also a microcrack. A week later another one
and again and again, in short, Comrade. Zones and
I didn’t think what would happen to his board through
a couple of years. The problem is that the text
lith dried up and the inevitable torment began with
microcracks.  It was necessary to have a special one.  varnish
cover.

3. I started thinking about where to buy a computer
either at Scorpion or Nemo, because ra-
di market in Khabarovsk was filled with Rski and
TV - sellers of loose powder.  Prescribed for myself
price list from Zonov and from you. Began fresh
price and where is which computer (in the sense of
which is better). But not only did he come from Zonov
price list, but also a bunch of papers with catalogs
gami, and even for a lot of money and for 1998.
I looked into the Scorpion company again through
INTERNET and what do I see there? advertising about
that they have low prices, etc. etc.
But Zonov miscalculated here too - ha, ha, ha.
.. The price of the motherboard remains the same
her in USD, but here is the paradox of Scorpion
25-256 + ....142 USD (mother board)
ta), but what is the equivalent of the c.u. - 27.52 (if pa-
crumpling does not change), but thiseven more
than $1. So it turns out that Scorpion is expensive
the same as Pentium-133; did Zonov think where
here's the meaning:

1. You can buy the same thing cheaper from Nemo
Speccy

2. Speccy will eventually fade away anyway

3. And there are more and more owners of Rsyuks

4. On Pentyukha it’s possible and under emulsion it’s not bad
work.

So I had to order KAY for myself.

And KAY has more opportunities. The main thing
made me smarter.  But more on that below. But come-
I waited a long time to receive my order and I didn’t
endured it, started composting (yes,...
just fucked up Nemo's brains) brains.

There is only one explanation for this - I’ve been sitting for three months
without Speccy, because Scorpion restore,
It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Yes
that I am in no way an “imaginary user”!

Now let's deal with LOGROS. "Send
Where did you take me" would be completely "glo-
ball." Once I ordered a price list from
You, I also received a list and prices of games
output and system programs from LOGROS:

games magazines

UFO ZX-Format

OBERON's stellar legacy

Field of Miracles

Winnie the Pooh

Here is a sample list, unfortunately it is not
preserved.

At that time I was repairing my Scorpion and
so as not to waste time, I ordered
get yourself a ZX-Format for 15 rubles + translation =
18... In the price list there were really such
prices: in rubles, and not in conventional units
tsakh.  The only question is this - why not?
they had to send me wherever
Well, I didn’t cheat or commit a scam,
the price was really therelike this (sorry not
preserved); and where did the money go???

5. I received your previously written answer,
but later than written the second time???
:(

6. I did not confuse delivery times with Zonovs-
in no time, but was simply inattentive
when reading the price list.  I will from now on
more attentive!

7. Why KAY is made smarter than Scorpion
(my opinion):

KAY compared to Scorpion and others
computers made more like a company
exchangeable Spectrum/

The disk controller is inserted into the slot,
like other peripherals, which makes it easier to re-
installation of peripherals when they fail.

The disk controller does not have RTCh chips
with fusible jumpers (not very reliable
microcircuits).

Full port compliance with Pentagon-128
(it is the fastest car on
at the moment).

Memory is faster due to
changes in faster-acting micro-
chem.

not very many buildings and naturally
less current requirement.

Good compatibility.

What I would like to see in RAY-1024.

The proprietary Speccy used a microcircuit
UL-A, which generated the video signal -
why was it faster? Note
The use of such a chip in KAY is significant
will affect its workload. Will require-
there are fewer cases to form video
signaled. You can even use a microcircuit
from Altera. Zonov didn’t do a very bad job
good solution by using "Alter" in the turbo
Vania.  Well at least look atvideo card
RS.

There is a BIOS "emulator", but only in
IS-DOS, I would like a BIOS in TR-DOS (under
"emuls" I mean saving config
computer gurations, something like m/we
"Dallas") Tenevik is not a way out of the situation -
niya, he will not make a computer, or rather pro-
multitasking processor.

"Frame for Idiots" - I like it
Sorry I don’t know M. Zadornov. Something
like "The gate opens suddenly!" Od-
in a word - a classic. Frame - frame
(Window's 2001 by), but it's time to make a price list
new.  Madhouse, of course, common -
but he can absolutely fall into complete chaos
transform. (I'm talking about Speccy).

              Sincerely, Yakimenko Anton.

P.S. Have the stamps arrived??? Joke!

P.P.S.  No offense said, but with people
You need to communicate, not explain concepts!
We watched "Brother-2", and so, the taxi driver was there
everything, in my opinion, was said about this - and this
right.

For the highbrow: the Marquis de Sade, in fact,
was doing research on some class
degenerate objects obtained by "moving-
in the small" stability point of some
of a complex prototype object. (Analo-
similar to the first variation in variational art

arrange such objects by designing

my opuses should be confused with such works -
