The fourth issue is packed with sharp demoscene criticism, personal letters, and discussions surrounding the ZX Spectrum platform. Articles feature reflections on the disbandment of scene groups, heated debates over previously published stories, and rankings of the local Ulyanovsk scene. A major focal point is the confrontation between the Spectrum and the IBM PC, featuring analyses of Windows 95 flaws alongside humorous user tales. The literary section offers absurdist micro-novellas, a satirical play, a sci-fi story, and folk tales, complemented by a hardware review of Hayes modems using the V.42bis protocol.
