Open letter - I have the opinion that an electronic magazine should not be like a book. Reading from the screen is tiring, and your vision deteriorates.

 Dear programmers!  Co

ask you not to forget
us, the users.  Remember that your
programs are intended primarily for
those who do not program, but only

leisure time and for useful and
then the necessary work.                  
    Judge for yourself, I load it into the computer

    I don't encourage you in every program

    In some electronic magazines,
which ones I happened to read are provided

(Well done, Roshchin!!!).And I also have this opinion, electronic
a magazine should not be like a book.
Reading from the screen is tiring and spoils
vision.   Text in the magazine is required

actions.   Images must be in
movement.    If you are writing something
program, so be kind right there in the text
and demonstrate it. Photos also
must be alive, otherwise why a computer,
print on paper.                      
    And one last thing. Many system programs
come out with imperfections, and the authors of such
programs, apologizing to users,
