!    Случилось чудо, и я узнал кое-что o бывших учacтни- !
  ках известной в прошлом  ульяновской группы Technology  
  interactive system, сокращенно TNL. Получилось это co-  
completely by chance - the person who contacted me  
 communicated on icq withMike (miketz, Forever Hex org party)  
 and Mike asked to check the response he sent  
 to me after receiving the work for the competition. And this thing  
 the reader sees the text of the letter and email address and understands -  
he knows that I am his neighbor. After this you are quite active c  
 We corresponded with him, but now he has disappeared somewhere. We will  
 hope temporarily. So, what did I learn fromFaster.  
 Maxwell. Now known asShuffle. Powered by  
radio "Dynamite FM" by a sound engineer.                     
 Mr.John. Now known as BJ-FEAT. Site owner  
 www.deluxeware.com. Working with him are  Groove  and  
TomCraft                                                
Faster.Does practically nothing, except  
 brings to life his website - www.sourceZ.info.            
The group itself actively existed until '99, according to -  
 then Maxwell stepped away from management and handed over the brass-  
dy of the boardFaster.They are together with Groove something else -  
they tried to do it somewhere before 2002, but then everything  
faded.                                                
I think that almost no one knows what the output is -  
dili 15th and 16th issues of the newspaperVirtual World. Layout-  
 were they on some website in html format.  Then there was  
a frame shell has been written, but it will never be released  
 will take place... Well, there is still hope that Faster  
will collect releases ofJurassic SoftandTNLand post them somewhere  
 something.                        !

  TJ - now I spend very little time on computers  
 since the work and development of the diploma has begun  
 then they don’t let me sit down at the Spectrum.  There are plans to continue you -  
launch of the newspaper, and I will also follow the events on  
 Speccy Scene.  Serg became a dad, and we congratulate him! (as follows-  
 life - a lot of diapers and sleepless nights :) - editor's note)  
I practically don't use Spectrum, only occasionally  
 turns on in order to view new software.         
Nikola.He's the one they wouldn't expect.  
The man actually admitted that the Spectrum was dead for him,  
 and the reason for this isPC.In the near foreseeable future for  
The Spectrum will not work.                                      
 (games, games! Stupid piss games are the reason! Or  
 something else - editor's note)  !

  proceed to more global events.                !

!  But the most global event was the past  
 party so long ago Forever Hex.This year the organizers  
 we went to some restrictions. In particular, the number-  
 works in the nominations were limited to 10 pieces, which  
 in comparison with last year it is somewhat alarming.  
 However, the limit onquantity could improve quality -  
 your work, which did not happen.  No, music as always  
 was at its best, perhaps even too much :) Almost  
 any work could count on prizes, but  
 There are 10 works, and only 3 places.                               
  Another thing - some graphic works and demo  
 "1st demo". The envelope that took 2nd and 3rd place is nonsense  
 some kind, onAntique Toy'o4 I remember the preselect on pre-  
 Catching conversions was carried out, and there was something  
 selected :b. Dema,executed in BASIC, caused two-  
 what kind of feeling - "why is it like this?" and "why should I in  
Can't do something like this next time?"                     
  There was also a real-time nomination. Graphics - envelope, demos -  
 in BASIC. As a result, this staff was simply disqualifying  
 cited.                                                
  Controversy was caused by the work that took first place in the nomination  
 nation graphics - "Indian"It was too similar to  
 an envelope, but according to authoritative artists, that's all -  
 taki handdrawn. The idea, however, is not the author's - the muzzle is in-  
 the figure is actually the face of a sorcerer from one pussy  
 games. Nevertheless, it looks good.                    
 "Metropolis" - as mentioned above, terribly similar to  
 the same as an envelope, and also quite processed  
 roughly. So anyone can become an artist. I don't argue  
 that some draw first on paper, and then through  
 PC is distilled to spec, but this is clearly not the case. By  
 In my opinion, the work is not worthy of 2nd place.              
  "Spiderman2" - another converted picture, in something that won 3rd place.  Although, voting  
 was held among party visitors, but they were unlikely to be  
 it was clear that this was an envelope. Voted for the fact that  
 I liked it - well, God bless them.                          
  "Slon" - this is more fun, this is already high quality -  
 no. And it’s immediately obvious that it’s the author’s work. What's wrong with it?  
 I looked at the voters - it’s unclear.  The work is quite cha-  
 no winners.                                          
  "Tulen" - work from the author of the previous picture. To-  
 samenice, although a little sad. (maybe because  
 what is Grigorian's playing in the center?)                       
  "Attributes in work" - want to know what the attributes are  
 do it in your computer's memory? - then I oblige you -  
 You really need to look at this picture. Raising the mood -  
 ensured.                                        
  "Tools" - somehow undeservedly deprived of attention  
 this work.  Even though it's just  
 redrawing of a rather old picture, however-  
 everything is done quite beautifully and colorfully, not like  
same "Spider-Man2".                                 
  "Ryba" - some kind of scanty picture. Mini  
 the same amount of costs - the same result.  In this case I  
I agree with the opinions of those who voted.                      
  "Party!SM". Hmm, drawn, of course, not so much  
 bad - the theme of the picture itself is far from first place.  
People already know what happens at all kinds of parties.  
 Last place, perhaps well deserved :)       
                                                          
In music, my preferences could not be identified  
that one job done better than the rest -  
 I was pleased with all the work. Alarmedwhat is again in bu-  
Rzhuysk party work from jeffie, now together with  
n1к-o, again found itself in last place.              
The thesis is confirmed that our Western brothers  
I like qualityoldschool in music.  What also  
I also like it, so I won’t describe to you all the details.  
 bots, but I’ll tell you everything at once (except for my own - these are several  
does not fit into the overall picture, and someone could see-  
 there is bias in my words :)). It is clear that something is different  
a musiciansSpectrumis stronger than ever, and it is not mo-  
 may not please you. Cool music!                       
(I still can’t resist and tell you about my work. I don’t know how
it happened that way, but for some reason its name was nepebpaho. in re-
results, which are located just below, everything is already fixed -
but... :))                                                   
 The demos and intros don't particularly impress me at all. Intro  
is good not separately, but as an integral part of some  
or a project, be it a newspaper, magazine or game.
