Despite the ridicule of those around me

Dear N...... N.N.!
1. Well, about the ridicule of users
IBM PC - that's natural. Reasonable arguments
They don't have cops. But there are serious ones
money invested in IBM PC (read, American
Kan economy) and a lot of wasted
own time. Much more useful for

like a joke.
2. Regarding Spectrum, unfortunately,
There is nothing particularly to please. The likelihood that
that it will be possible to “raise” this matter so much
it is small that a successful outcome of the enterprise can be

I see things a little differently. Publications
can be considered as a transfer of know-how,
received in the process of working on Sp-topic-
tikoy, - this is, firstly, a “sobering up” of the
society from obsessions with information
(in PC style) - this is second. And finally
only inthird, support, promotion and
Sp-platform support. This doesn't mean
that I don't want or don't do something in this
direction, - I want you to correct it -
but they understood. The situation is almost out of my control.
sieve First of all, for the reason that
The problems are not technical.
The problem is the inadequacy of people. Corresponding
specifically my role and degree of influence as
manufacturer is kept to a minimum.
3. "... about the hopelessness of "pissing"

a share of deceit. This can also be considered
as a terminological issue. And then what
mean "in practice"? There is a pre-
the pressure of people is the real situation, -
so they differ. That's why
we are talking about the inadequacy of people, bordering
cabbage soup with INSANITY. I prefer, for example

Deputy, this is exactly the situation. For example

users of Sp-machines are teenagers,
who sleep and see themselves sitting at
PC-com. Sp-machines are considered as
toys, roofing felts as teaching aids... That’s it
Yes, there is a general reluctance to invest money
theft (fueled by PC publications, -
"freebie"). Now it is added to this
and lack of perspective - because some
are already beginning to understand that in a transplant to
PC no prospects.
Therefore, we have to analyze WHAT
WHAT IS POSSIBLE AND WHAT IS IMPOSSIBLE IN PRINCIPLE -

if the inadequacy persists, then NOT
NEITHER ONE OR THE OTHER IS POSSIBLE - neither Sp nor

at the expense of <...> PC." This is my oversight.
There was a situation of time pressure with materials

very simple, - a payment is required for services -

Then there will be less stupidity. The problem is
that the printer (no matter where - on a PC, or
on Sp) is very expensive to operate (rent),
- but in PC IT IS SUPPLIED. (goats, - which-
some have to be called “Third Parties”,
- a tribute to political correctness...), thereby provoking

They are simply misleading, i.e. moron-

sorority).
5. "<...> out of order for two years
back "Compisite 128 KAY". I'm pleased
how to the manufacturer of these machines, that the computer
worked out its entire resource - EIGHT YEARS.
(128 KAY has been discontinued
sometime in 1993)
6. "...an advertising campaign is being carried out
KAY 1024/ЗSL/Turbo". Yes, that's exactly it.
Another thing is WHAT is meant by advertising
mine. Advertising is only background, like background
radiation. That is the most harmless - in
difference from IBM PC. Example. A year ago on
former All-Union (now All-Russian)
radio one high-ranking pissyukan
boasted that they organized a school
LAH(!) writing an essay on the topic “How
convince parents to buy an IBM PC."How do you like it?
do you like this ad? Need to understand
the following. While someone is robbing schools and
kindergartens I am put in a situation where

We are not yet familiar with such “intruders”. And we
here in Russia we are already up to our ears in this
shit. Massive advertising in general
should not, because she turns people into
a flock of sheep. Much better, of course
when users themselves demonstrate technical
nick at work (with all the pros and cons -
MI) to your friends. It's somehow more honest.
If you want to act, you have to...
repent - well, there’s no getting away from it.
Although you can, of course, wash your hands and nothing
don’t do it according to the principle of “grow everything here”
fucking grass." And one more thing. Nice post
costs good money - about $20-30 per
page. These are regular expenses that
must be replenished - otherwise published -
until it dries out.
