      Dear Sergey Drozdovsky!

   I have to bother you again.

   You're in trouble again.  At N10 per
2000 published the article "FAQ" ZX-Tra-
ders"", containing ALREADY AT THE MOMENT OF RECEIPT
MATERIAL, - not to mention the moment of publication

Returning to our previous conversation
on TLF, let me remind you that we were talking about IDEOLO-
GII.  It is necessary to understand that computers
IT DOES NOT exist without ideology. There are misunderstandings
tion of this. If there is a computer, there is an ideological
ology, no ideology - no computer.
Ideology arises at the platform level.
These IDEOLOGIES are different. Therefore platforms
exist separately, without intersecting.

(2) - creation, promotion and development

opportunities, countering information

(4) - reorientation of users from the cultural

as an end in itself) to a meaningful and purposeful
directed work to create a
high-quality household computer (Home com-
puter) and its consumer content
due to tasks external to

   Now the actual proposals:

   1) At the moment, "8 bit world" is
20% of printed space. I need 50%
from the "8-bit world", i.e. 10% of areas in KAZH-
HOUSE ROOM. The remaining 10% of the area can
stuff with anything, i.e. 4-5 required
pages monthly.  (but not less than 50% of
"Mira 8 bit").
   2). Lack of your editorial rights -
ki on these 4-5 pages, i.e., essentially,
powers of the subdepartment editor.
   3) Forward links(why - see: paragraph 6 for-
notes above) for 6 months (or better yet, a year).
   4) All correspondence, or copies from
addresses received by "V.K." by mail must
to cross to St. Petersburg (I have provided the channel)
