Sob@CHATnik - hello neighbors, fellow countrymen...

      
OVSlanicH:> Once, on my birthday, namely, June 8 
2000, I looked in my mailbox and found 
there... (no, not a bag with rekcorehom, and not a cake with candles:) 
...a parcel with an address unknown to me until the village. Turning into 
in the hands of this Gift, without thinking twice I unpacked the envelope and found 
it contains a floppy disk with a newspaper and an "open letter" from the guys from the Ufa 
creative team: "MSD". The letter is cool and so interesting, 
that I decided to give an answer to it “live”.

 Hello neighbors, fellow countrymen...             
                                                                
 I am MAX SNAKE, a representative of the Ufa Spectrum group 
MSD. A couple of months ago we learned from Shirokov A. about your 
existence, and were pleasantly surprised :)              
      
OST:> And us too!:)It's nice to know that we're not the only ones in the area 
We work on Speccy!                                             
                                                                
I would like to immediately provide some information about the life of Speccy 
in Ufa. From approximately 1995 to December 1997, our city represented 
one group called "ChemneSoft". In December 1997, the seller of Chemne- 
soft stopped selling software on the radio market, which plunged everyone into 
despondency. 1998year the speccy market was completely free, all spec 
Trumpists fled in all directions, Chemnesoft group completely 
ceased to exist. Its former members moved to dogs, 
who is on Amiga. There are about 10 (!) Amiga (and 600 and 1200 models) at UF.   
                       
 Spring 1999 we are former users, terribly dissatisfied with the absence 
Spectrum support themselves entered the market. Although official 
date of birth of MSD group - August 1996 (!)             
 It is June 2000. We think we did the right thing 
when they entered the market. We publish an electronic newspaper, which c 
It's more of an advertising catalog than a full-fledged newspaper. To attract 
niya spektrumistov back to the Spectrum, a promotion was implemented: in 
at the end of April this year we brought Scorpion to the radio market, part 6 
monitor, amplifier 2x6 W and 2Okr battery. (Just citizens- 
feat) This undoubtedly awakened the activity of those who had abandoned 
Spectrum. And we even started receiving several offers 
for conversion (VpGrade) 48 cars before Scorpion. (The procedure for 
included in the installation of the finished Scorpion board, takes 1-2 minutes 
Delhi, costs up to 350 rub.)OST:> No words!!! The "battery" promotion is a great idea! 
If 6y are all stagers, instead of yelling that Speck is dying 
repeated 6s your idea there was no need to 6s and rant about 
the inevitable demise of the computer.    
                       
 Unfortunately, we haven't done anything with software yet. 
Iron is designed (after all, there are 3 iron workers in the group):        
 * Ycomm modem - developed by almost all members of the group. 
 * 1 МБ SIMM connected to Scorpion (This Scorpion is currently on- 
I take the text.)                                                   
 * MultiCard - Kempston mouse & IDE HDD controllers (c)Nemo 
Naturally, the controllers will be cheaper in the cnapehhom version. 
Nemo wrote 4 sheets of A4 by hand, just to express his 
dissatisfaction. ;) Offered cooperation...                   
Unfortunately, on April 26, the Chernobyl virus killed the source codes of the 
the same board (.pcd) and the whole screw at the same time.

OST:> Carefully read the "Peraonalia" section in this issue 
magazine. In addition, in the package with which this number will arrive 
"OST" - all previous numbers will be stored.                     
                                                                
What kind of party are you holding, maybe he will come?                        
 (When? Where?)                   
   
OST:> 0f c0zE, come! Party is held spontaneously, i.e. co- 
where there will be a reason to have a drink and a snack. This is usually at the beginning and end 
summer season. So write and come. Details we 
We can always discuss it separately ;)                           
                                                                
Global software projects?OST:> Well... Until the big guys from the big companies kill you 
we will release this magazine and distribute it throughout the network

I don’t know much about Sarapul and Specc. I haven't seen Merlin 
already two months. Extremer disassembled his "Profi" into candyuks and 
handed over Yulia. I myself am currently setting up a TV for the Scorpio.  Se- 
today I'll go toExtremer and I'll take the remaining parts.            
                                                                
OST:> :((( B VLG looks like the ZX-season 2000 has already closed. 0-very 
It’s a pity that Yurik (Extremer) cracked his computer for the sake of a penny 
years. I think happiness comes from owning a couple of hundred rubles earned 
Selling a "friend" won't last too long. And a month later, 
another, Yura will still regret what he did. Amen.
