Questionnaire - Stryker's analytical conclusion.

                  
                         Сводный отчет                          
                  
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
  Если  честно  ,  мы, авторы, давая заполнять анкету для газеты
направо  и  налево,  так до конца и не продумали, что же будем с
ними  делать  %).  И  когда  их  набралось так много, что делать
раздел  интервью  стало  как то нелогично, мы решили попробовать
сделать  небольшой  свод  по  ним,  а  сами  анкеты  поместить в
отдельное  приложение  к газете. И вот что из этого всего вышло.
Отмечу,that the summary was made not on all issues, but on those
to which the data could be summarized.                          
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
  1. Well, as it should be for a start Name, Nicknames, age, place
habitats :)))))                                                 
                                                                
  A total of 27 people, representing
3 countries - Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.  Middle age
respondents fluctuates around 2H-2b years, but there are also people
respectable age :)                                           
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
  b.  How did Fate, the villainess, bring you together with Specki?  How is it
happened, at what time (short story)                 
                                                                
  Most people saw the ZX for the first time in the 199O-199H years, in
age approximately 12-13 years, which isnot surprising at all, or
It was during these years that there was a rapid growth in popularity
of this computer in the former CIS.  Someone saw it on the computer
hall, someone with relatives - friends - neighbors, someone
parents bought it.                                                
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
  9a.  Do you have any projects that remain so? B
dreams?                                                        
                                                                
 The lion's share of respondents answered this question unequivocally -
"Yes!"  They said this both from current spektrumists and
retired.  These are the games - Rogulike - RPG in cyberpunk
entourage (Surfin Bird), Uumerical - never released game from
Ellipse group, although it was already 95% ready, CHIF 2 (Spectre) and
Fantastic Dizzy (Mast);  OS - Doors (Breeze, but he says that
how the thread gathers its strength and finishes it. By the way, Oleg - personally
I repeat to you the words of Maxim Timonin - let’s master it as much as possible
faster!), developments of GriV and SpeccyFan from the same opera;
computer magazines (Astral Project - Zeg);music albums
(Scl); browser for spec from Specter.                            
                                                                
                                                                
  1O.   How did the Spectrum affect your future destiny?
(Acquaintances, connections, choice of profession) did the hobby influence
your future destiny?                                        
                                                                
 Well, here the results are the same for many. These are friends and acquaintances,
and choice of profession (programmer or IT personnel). I think that's it
readers will agree with the phrase "If it weren't for Spectrum, I would be
a completely different person."  And even that to some Spectrum
prevented me from studying at the institute - again, this does not contradict this :).
Bugsy says it right - “Still, this is a strong drug
Spectrum".                                                      
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
11a.  Which model do you consider the most successful and advanced?
                                                                
Pentagonand Scorpion were out of competition. Less popular
but nevertheless, the same thing was mentioned more than once by Profi, KAU and
Atm-Turbo. However, as Breeze said - an important detail
- the best model can be considered the one that works and does not glitch!
because the problem on the Spectrum N1 is that there is always something
buggy :(((                                                    
                                                                
                                                                
  *13. What ZX sites do you visit? If you are visiting?              
                                                                
  Almost all respondents visit the zx.rk.ru forum.  Excellent
an indicator of popularity for him. Considering that he already (only)
one year! Virtual TR-DOS is no less popular among the people, although
it is immodest to praise what you are related to;) Among
sites that, by their content, can be classified as news,
Scenergy, Ellipse and Optical remain very popular among people
Brothers. In general, different sites are needed - different sites are important!      
  But by the way, few people mentioned a site like WOS..
I wonder why?  Either they just forgot, or it’s English
Does bourgeois language scare them? I doubt there are those who don't
knows about the existence of thissite..                             
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
  1H. Your attitude towards Emulators, which ones you used, is it necessary?
Is this even a thing?  Because we were arguing with Sinus... :) Darling
(emulsion) maybe eat? Which one is the best?                             
                                                                
 A hackneyed question, of course... I immediately remember articles in various
publications from the series real vs emulator. And yet - the majority
answered - they use an emulator!  And the leader is unconditional -
Unreal Speccy! And that's why people use an emulator - You can
highlight several reasons...                                     
                                                                
A) Absence or malfunction of the real Spectrum             
B) Availability of many opportunities for the programmer and user  
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
  15. Name your favorite on the Spectrum DEMO, GAME, Uewspaper,
Magazine (orsomewhat ok in terms of coolness)                  
                                                                
  Well, it’s the same here - at least hold a competition. However, so that no one
offend - we will not put them in their places. Let it be
everyone will do it for themselves! So, what did people call more often?

  18. Do you consider yourself a Stager and how do you feel about it?
"understanding" what this is in your opinion? Scene and Scener?       
 Most answered? No! But what is a stage and a scener?
Well, read the thoughts of others :)                                
                                                                
                                                                
    Surfin Bird                                                 
                                                                
I associate “scene” with “demo”. I don't like the demo
like an idea.  As one smart person said, “A film made for the sake of
script is like a life lived for the sake of an obituary." Here
there is something here similar todemo-making :)                     
                                                                
                                                                
    Misha Brom                                                   
                                                                
 A scene is something abstract, a kind of spiritual unity of people
like-minded people (in computer terms). How bent!

What is a SCENE Freeman seems to have not defined, so in my opinion
look it's just a CHIMERA!  A concept that everyone understands but
cannot explain! These words don’t make me sick, I even think
that it all exists! The question is different? what is it?

 A scene is when on some computer platform someone and
does something.   If there is activity, parties are held,
regularly something comes out of programs, music, graphics,
newspapers, magazines, etc., then the Scene is there. And those who do it -
Sceners.

In my opinion, a scriptwriter is a person who is nothing specific

a very controversial opinion, but thanks to Sergey Sturm (now DJ
Psych), it stuck with me thoroughly.

  But there is another definition given by Freeman. From it
By logically understanding the phrases, one can deduce the following:
definition - “Scenery” is someone to whom women don’t give!? ;)        
                                                                
                                                                
  19. Can you assess the state of the Stage today???          
                                                                
Optimists, that is, those who answered that the scene exists and is alive - with
Gulkin's nose. But extreme pessimists - on the contrary,enough.And
These are the words people use to express their thoughts: “in the ass”, “dead”,
“nothing at all”, “deplorable”, “decline”, “everything is just terrible”, “how
everything is running"                                                   
                                                                
                                                                
  In light of such assessments, the definitions “pulse is present”, “sluggish”
moving", "calm", "weak but there" at least a little more
make me happy...                                                       
                                                                
  But personally, I agree with Mast - “there was a scene in 1998.
not now" The following question smoothly follows from this -       
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
  22. Does Spectrum have a Future and how do you see it???  
                                                                
                                                                
  Perhaps forecasts are a thankless task... As Prusak notes
- there is most likely a future, but what kind of future I don’t
predictorTransman notes that to date
Spectrum has long been based on sheer enthusiasm, and will live
While there are people for whom this computer is not indifferent. Bye
although one person does something for the Spectrum, he will not live
only in our thoughts and memories, but also in real life?
So says Brom.                                               
                                                                
                                                                
  Surfin Bird is optimistic - Question from the area -

and it will be, it will be miserable, it will come to the point that the old
egg-headed grandfathers will remember how they fought in the spec of years
bO back" (Rasmer).                                             
                                                                
 What should we do to support the platform? Here's the point
which Surfin Bird suggested - let's discuss!                
                                                                
  1. Refuse pirated software.                             
  2. Buy reals.                                             
                                                                
  3. Buy bells and whistles (if necessary in the 19th century 2Sbkb of memory,
HDD and CD can generally be considered bells and whistles!).                     
                                                                
  Ch. Make the spec more convenient and friendly (due to the above-mentioned
bells and whistles and programs).                                          
                                                                
  5.Use speck in everyday life, finally! (Ialready
I've been waiting for a long time for them to finally connect to the Internet... Why?
don't they? See point 1!)

  I started quoting Briz a lot - well, apparently Oleg is efficient

"The future will exist for those who see it and will not exist for those who do not

 Logical!                                                       
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
  This was where the end was planned.  However, Fox's soul
demanded a continuation - he wanted me to be more personal
dug :). Well, then let’s touch on vital issues.       
-Have you served in the Army? Where and when?                         
                                                                
  I can immediately say that for a spektrumist the army is more likely
exception to the rule! After all, we are modern people, and the army, like
Surfin Bird truly says - this is “complete nonsense and atavism
primitive communal system" :).  May Fox not be offended by us,
Rasmer, Breeze (if this is not in the room, it means they were offended
 :) and especially the unforgettable author of Batva Brom, who proudly
carries through life the burden of a career officer ;)                       
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
  - Do you have your own family (wife, children)                     
                                                                
  Gee - Well, no conclusions come to my mind here!
when everyone decides to start a family personally, well, sometimes even under
pressure of circumstances :). But here are some interesting answers received:
Question: will children be told about the spec? Most - yes.
This is exactly how I imagine uslike this - we sit next to the children
PC monitor screen, showing where and what the keyboard and mouse are
and suddenly we say: “You know, I had one like this many years ago
cool computer?.."                                             
                                                                
 Or so - our son (daughter) comes home from a computer science lesson in
in class and shouts “Dad! Dad! I got 10 points for
that I wrote a program for calculating the factorial on some thread
Delphi 75, or C+, who knows how many advantages :). And you tell her, “Clever girl!
But this is nonsense, but at your age I used a computer like
ZX-Spectrum, and there a good program could only be written
in assembler! How? You don't know what assembler is? This is for you
They don’t talk about computer science? Yes... Well, times have moved on!" :)          
                                                                
 Or maybe it will be like this - finishing a liter of vodka for two with my son,
you will say to your offspring with a drunken tongue - “But
when I was as old as you, we drank with friends and
they called it pointing.  Moreover, we were drinking and drunk
able to write awesome programs for ZX!  Yes, yes, yes, it is
exactly the same computer that I am holding in my hands in the photograph of a 25-year-old
recent.  And we also conducted it like thiscalled demopati, on
who competed not only in the coolness of the code -
graphics - music, but also the amount of drink in the context of individual
individuals - groups - countries - :).                                 
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
  - Do you have MS, what kind? (or maybe Amiga, MAC?)
Are you doing what?  something on it from creativity or just
play games (what kind)                                        
                                                                
                                                                
  The question immediately evokes memories of those times when
every intro any self-respecting hacker wrote not only
"Disked by Hacker Vasya from Mukhosransk", but also necessarily "IBM
shit (sax) and mast give! (mast - from English must, not nickname
muzakera ;) ZX and Amiga Rules Forever"                           
                                                                
  Life is such now that all spektrumists have a PC (or
almost everyone). Few people have an Amiga. I recently re-read
article in ZX - Review N2 for 199H - "Amiga vs PC" - I cansay
that everything turned out exactly as they predicted (IMHO
of course).  What can we say about the configuration? everyone screws up
him the way he needs.. The main thing is that life doesn’t
turned into a complete upgrade :).                             
  And we all party a little (and some a lot). And beloved
the genre of PC games often corresponds to the genre of your favorite

leader?                                                       
                                                                
                                                                
  Trying to be listed as morons! I remember a long time ago, about 15 years
ago I heard a conversation between two guys in crimson jackets:      
                                                                
                                                                
  “Vovan, do you know the phone number of that Seryoga from Polotsk, with
whom you introduced me to at Rubin (Rubin- one of the casinos
Minsk)                                                         
                                                                
  - And he doesn’t have a cell phone.                                     
 - How? Is he a businessman?! And without primary sexual characteristics???
                                                                
  Gone, of course, are the days when a mobile phone was a luxury - now
Almost everyone has it.  Well, the leaders are still the same - Motorola
Siemens, Sony Ericsson and Uokia. But here's an interesting point -
a friend like NA, who calls himself a “former stager”
- no mobile phone! Maybe this is another distinguishing characteristic
scener?  absence of it!  By the way, it works out well if
combine with Freeman's formulation? "Women don't give scriptwriters, and
They don’t have a mobile phone!!” :).                                         
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
    - Hobbies besides computers???                                   
                                                                
  People have a lot of hobbies!  It was even difficult to single them out
categories,but besides computers, our people are interested in:             
                                                                
1. Oddly enough, computers :)                                    
                                                                
Varieties of point 2 (what do you think)                      
                                                                
2.1. Active recreation in the form of hiking and other things?                
                                                                
2.2. Active recreation in the form of active consumption of beer and vodka with
friends, colleagues                                             
                                                                
3. Study of women's logic, practice?. (c) FOX              
                                                                
H.  Art - music, drawing. I'll also include anime and hentai here.
all sorts of science fiction and fantasy, digital photography and art in
in some sense! Although drinking beer and vodka is an art in some way -
I mean, if you do everything right ;)                         
                                                                
5. Wheelbarrows (but not carts,and cars of course)                  
                                                                
b. Sport.                                                       
                                                                
                                                                
    - Do you have an idiot’s dream??                                   
                                                                
 The unforgettable character of Ilf and Petrov Ostap Bender, when he could
to overthrow the underground millionaire Koreiko on the grandma said "Here I am
and a millionaire... An idiot's dreams have come true."                        
And what do we dream about, even if not great, but to some extent
combinators - Optimists?  Spectrumists dream of having a lemon
bucks, bribe a bunch of Spectrums for half a million (well, or get
them into the production of a homemade clone), use the rest
on advertising on TV, thus getting everyone hooked on this
drug and spec will steer Forever!  (one way is
distribute it free to schools?  Gee, I immediately remember
articles on Konstantin Sviridov’s website about how spec was implemented in
schools in the 80s of the last century :).). By the way - I will only be for
:).                                                             
                                                                
  Rasmer's dream is also connected with Spectrum - to realize all projects
on spec (namesake - subscribe!) and SpeccyFan - port
bash on ZX. The second dream of the last comrade is to strangle the creator
Dandy and throw a cake at Billy Gates. (strange, why then
Yura didn’t write Blame in his favorite demos???). Bugsy wants it all
know?  We advise him to cooperate with Breeze - let him
caches the entire Internet, writes it to blanks, and Roma carefully
studies.. And the fairy tale will become reality!                                
                                                                
  And only Misha Brom has no head in the clouds... He wants
build a house, raise a daughter and rise to
general? The latter is good, of course, but bad luck may lie in
that the general can have his own children? :)                   
                                                                
  And we can summarize it in the words of Sinus and Fox - in general, when
An idiot's dream will come true - you yourself will understand that it was exactly her!
                                                                
And everything will be fucked up!                                            
- What is the happiest moment in your life?                   
                                                                
  A long white stripe - a long black stripe! And the happiest
Everyone has had moments in life, and very different ones...                 
                                                                
  Some people, as soon as they were born, immediately felt
happy, but someone was dissatisfied until they gave him a tit :)
For some, the first computer was just a bright white flash! Someone
got a great buzz by losing his virginity, and someone - by forcing
run General Sound or an assembly language procedure written
personally.  For some, the birth of children - For others, a wedding -
Well, may you, dear readers of this crazy opus, always
good luck!  May every happy moment be more
happier than the previous one!  For it is true that they say ON and Breeze - good
when all sorts of different worries and problems fade into the background,
when it turns out what you intended!
