This issue focuses on the state of the ZX Spectrum demoscene and the quality of scene press in the early 2000s, featuring a broad review of prominent network publications. Key highlights include the organization of the TwilighT Demoparty in Grodno, Chaos Constructions 2001 results, and the scene's gradual transition to the PC. Technical material delivers a deep analysis of ZX Spectrum operating system concepts (IS-DOS, DoorS, DomenOS), an architectural breakdown of the video subsystem by Nemo, and an assembly code routine for full-screen frame scrolling. The issue rounds off with an ironic short story about a novice 'hacker'.
