1. My name in Spectrum Land is DWT.Slo-
evechko consists of three English letters and
correctly read kok "di-double'yu-ti",
however, among the spec people they simply call me
"devete". Nick came from my Earthly one,
so to speak realname, and contains, in my opinion
look, two gross mistakes. First of all, mine
patronymic in Russian Vasilievich, means in
in English must begin with the letter V.
Secondly, it would be more correct to write
TDW (full name), not DWT (full name). Errors
arose because when I came up with
Nick, I was 9 or 10 years old :).
2. How did the hobby begin?.. It would
would not have started if my father had not been pa-
amateur dio... Once upon a time, somewhere in 1988
year he assembled the first computer RADIO
86PK. Actually, this was the first...
Blow :) for me too, I was 4 years old then
(or rather, 3.5 :)). From this moment it began
my total passion for computers. Co-
Of course, at the age of four I did not immediately start writing
write programs. Naturally, I played those
primitive games that were in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
I don't remember when I learned BASIC, but
this happened even before the father
ral first Spec. And this is a significant co-
existence happened somewherein 1991. Yes-
It’s funny to remember :) - I took Speck
cold, didn't show him the slightest
interest, I liked RK more. But with
Spec time with its colorful graphics
and interesting games lured me to
your side.
By 1993, my father had changed several
Spekov: Krasnodar, Leningrad, and finally
The Pentagon, which with faith and glitches :) before
still serves us.
But all this was just a prelude. I'm up to
still playing with toys, pointless
wasting time... The turning point was
my acquaintance with VNN,which to this
time (1993) is already quite active
quacked toys, Russifying them and making
disk versions. This is what made me
I need to seriously study programming
roving first on Forth (in BASIC I
already programmed), and then in assembler.
By the way, in learning assembler I really
books helped "How to write a game 2" and
"ZX-Spectrum for users and programs
muctob",which are in shabby deplorable
they still serve faithfully...
Actually, that’s how my hobby began
Spectrum:) ...
3-4. HowI study on Spec?.. Program-
I am making peace, I write articles, I publish the newspaper ZX-
Time...
5. How do I feel about the statements “Spect-
rum is dead"?.. Hmm... I think so
can only be said by a person who is not
got into the Spectrum. He didn't understand him, pa-
I was fascinated... And like the Inquisition in
times of Copernicus, does not want to admit
obvious phenomena... In general, the Spectrum does not
may die. This is not a thing, not an object,
which can be burned, melted, yto-
drink, sort it out. This is the spirit, the way of life...
This is not the meaning of life, it is part of life...
6. I personally relate to other platforms
tolerable. Although I do not accept PC as a home
car. If it was made "multifunctional"
national calculator", then all sorts of
makeweights make it not only expensive and
glitchy toy, but also bulky, divisible
affecting not only children, but also adults
psyche monster...
7. I maintain constant correspondence (by mail)
withRGB/P7S, Alex-S, Stormbringer. And that-
I also keep in touch with many people
thanks to e-mail.

9. First of all, do not be disappointed in
that you chose Spectrum. After all
everything that is done by registered PR campaigns,
is aimed primarily at ensuring that
honor your faith in Spectrum. So es-
if one day you don’t want to turn on Spec -
remember my words and overcome yourself!
Then, you will see, it will become easier! :)
