From the editor.
It took about 2... well 3 months,
and you have the pleasure (we hope) of
Consider the second number of the Expert. We, then
there are authors, we are very glad that our magazine
caused some resonance in the Spectrum
com society. The joy, however, was not
long, since the reaction of those interviewed by us
users was extremely ambiguous,
one might even say inadequate.
Bypassing injections with spades from the authors
Format, let's express our displeasure
assessment of our activities by some
users we surveyed. Unsatisfactory
our pleasure is caused mainly by the fact that
that both criticism and words of praise are expressed
were called not at all about what they thought
we will cause a basic debriefing.
So, what's the displeasure? Ninety
nine point nine percent reviews
about the magazine concerned the design. Reviews about
design were divided into primitive
“coolly designed” and “not coolly decorated.”
The biggest displeasure is about the buttons
in the main menu: "You see, they are...
not what we would like to see,
and what we would like to see, we ourselves do not
we know." Secondly, I don’t like the inscription
"Expert" in intro. She, again,what-
it's not like that. Plus all sorts of funny cri-
tika: the text viewer was torn out of For-
mat; intro color is bad, it’s necessary
was to do as in Format; buttons in
text viewer trembles merrily -
bad; mouse cursor while scrolling
doesn’t disappear - that’s also bad, it should have been
do as in Format. And so on...
It turns out interesting... A vicious circle
some kind. Do it like Format - you
accused of stealing an idea, you won’t do it
as in the Format - they will say that it was necessary
do as there.
The description caused some excitement
drunken party on Inlight. That's all. In from-
wearing everything else deafly, as in
tank. No reviews (almost), no good
great, neither bad nor average. Everything else-
However, the users seemed to have lost their minds.
(Not all users are like this, of course, but
you can’t argue with statistics).
I wonder why there are electric
Ronny magazines on the Spectrum platform?
Is it really just to look?
play the intro and turn off the computer until
blowing number? Then you can organize
profitable business - riveting rendered
cartoons and sell them for the price of a magazine,
having previously placed protection on the mug
from copying.
Pleasant surprise - Pospodin NEMO, co-
who, having deeply studied the contents
pressing the first number, pointed out to us the opening
bloodI'm getting along in the article about 3D graphics (not
general, but in one place), why should he
and thank you. We also apologize for
assigning him the patronymic of Mikhail Akimov
(Logros company). Those who want to know the truth
patronymic of Pospodin NEMO - see rec-
llama in this room.
And now about what we ourselves don’t like
appeared in the first issue. About the buttons in
menu - there's really something wrong here
yes, but, you see, this is not fatal.
After the magazine was published, a glitch was discovered -
the log does not work correctly in mode
turbo, in this room everything seems to be
it's okay to be. And finally, ours
shame - this is the wildest amount
grammatical errors, why are we doing this?
Format people were pinched painfully. As he says-
Oh, don’t dig a hole for someone else... Here, your own
frankly speaking, and everything that we ourselves do not
I liked it in the first issue. In everything
we will follow for now, guided by
guided by my own considerations,
until we hear real
calls.
More news: from the next issue
children support GENERAL SOUNDa. This has become
possible after MIKE BLUM created
gave a special program that allows
lose on GS, the so-calledchipo
new modules. They are small - they take up
disk 5...15 kb, i.e. comparable to Mouzon-
mi for AY both in size and sound
ku, maybe four-channel. Modules
there are many of them. Very.
Yes, by the way. In the process of preparing the second
number was found to be very serious
The main problem is the lack of music
AY8910 for the magazine. This has become mainstream
the reason for the “brakes” with the output of this number is
ra. The cry we threw into SPbZXnet was
probably heard but ignored mu-
sicmaker-ami. With direct
talking with some musicians here
there was an opinion that no one was a Mouzon
he wants to paint even for money - he’s lazy,
Looks like people. Therefore, I (DANGEROUS),
as editor-in-chief of SPECTRUM magazine
EXPERT responsibly, directly and no matter what
I officially declare - if to the exit
We won’t dial the next number
number of songs under AY, then the owners
only this “music coprocessor”
may find themselves in complete silence in the pro-
while reading the magazine. As soon as the music
it will be enough - the current number will be and
with AY support. That's the perspective.
Those wishing to place their AY music in our
magazine - readadvertising.

Shortly before the release of this issueRUSTER
(ZX-FORMAT) gave us a mountain of Mouzons for
AY, who sent him for the Format,
about 100 pieces (thanks), with the words: "Po-
dig into this, maybe pick a couple
those". When did we start the competitive selection?
this "music", then our nervous laughter is not
stopped during the entire listening
nia! Such a terrible anti-musical
We've never heard nonsense before! And how
“composers” don’t mind riveting the same
what kind of obscenity should I give it to someone else?
Just terrible. And the names, the names! We
decided to make of the most remarkable
hit parade titles and place them in
humorous section, and the winner of our con-
stuff the "nonsense music" course into an article about
computer music in this issue (not
be afraid, initially it will be turned off -
on).
