So, dear users, it has arrived
time to say a decisive "NO" once -

with the newly minted and it will immediately become clear
that there is regression. Moreover, completely

there was no longer enough strength to bring her to

But no, it doesn’t even smell like efficiency,
on the contrary, some information has clearly become
Rovata.
With leaving the team (isn’t this the beginning
end?) the great and mighty DICTATORA

hole groups of the visually impaired, as well as class-new and so far unsurpassed Amiga

your nose and ears, so as not to see, not to smell
and not hear healthy constructive
criticism and advice not only for beginners
slowly grumble users, but also
their immediate well-wishers,
with all their souls who once rooted for the beautiful
nal magazine.
The result was not long in coming.
There has been a clear decline in the interest of
callers for this publication, which immediately
significantly affected the demand for the magazine. A
since ZX-FORMAT was the only
rum, spreading at least some information
about SPECTRUM by country, then users
they could easily lose any
more information and then write - it’s gone,
complete isolation and information vacuum

what kind? No? Well, if still not

computer model falling at speed

Bill and flying at you from above.
It’s good if the user is mentally mature
Surely, then the energy of the falling brick

Spectrum users are still young, and
the brick falls with a pleasant soundblast-
with a roving sound on their heads, punching holes -
ru in their outlook and intellectual
zvitii. The poor user hasn't been around for a long time
can think, he will only doomatb
(duknuke, descend, quake (or
croak?) and so on...). That's how it is
interesting: sit at one hundred thirty-third
I’m eating hemp and quack... And someone’s already pe-
sat on the two-hundredth stump.. And that’s all for the stumps
there is no count, they multiply like blackbird flies
Phils promise that a “stump” is about to appear
two or three hundred...
So, dear SPECTRUM users!
We would like to inform you that the brick,
your personal brick is already in flight and
rapidly picking up speed, and than
the more speed he gains, the more
your temptation to catch this treasured
brick and become its owner. We, in
in turn, we do not advise you to catch him,
why- see just above, and, by virtue of their
opportunities, we will help and advise
you how to avoid it and at the same time
don't get hurt by those flying nearby - bricks
These are flying like hail.
Due to all the above circumstances,
we take upon ourselves a difficult

rum may also be materials not related
directly with Spectrum, but, in our opinion,
in my opinion, arousing interest specifically among
this part of computer scientists.
