- At the end of 1998. Of course I kept in touch with some
people sometimes criticized their programs, read newspapers, but
Somewhere in 2OO2 I completely gave up on almost everything.                  
13. What ZX sites do you visit?  if you visit?                
                                                                
- Almost none.  But when I’m on the internet, I’m on the IRC channel
#speccy is on Forestnet (where the EG channel is also located), so
sometimes I know some ZX news :)                             
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
1H. Your attitude towards Emulators, which ones you used, is it necessary?  
Is this even a thing? And then we were arguing with Sinus... :)            
                                                                
- Of course it’s necessary. The best emulsion is Unreal Speccy - that's what I use.
Well, I also very actively use AY-Emul from Sergei Bulba, usually
on my computer it plays either winamp or AY-Emul.               
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
15.Name your favorite on Spectrum DEMO, GAME, Uewspaper,

- I won’t, because it doesn’t make sense. I only remember that
was in my time, but I hardly watch the current ones, so I don’t
I have the right to judge this.                                      
                                                                
                                                                
1b.  Name the best Graphic and Music Editor, Best
Assembly language or other software, the authors will be pleased!               
                                                                
- Again, I don’t know what’s where and how now. In due time
used Art Studio, occasionally Artist II (I think he
called).  I didn’t write the music, so I don’t know. Assemblers I
used in this order: GEISHM, TASM, PASM, MASM, ALASM.
They were all good for their time. Well since I'm done
program in ALASM, then imho it was the best at that time. More
I tried ZX-Asm (I think that’s what it was called), but I didn’t like it,
ALASM is cooler.                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
17. Well, if we have already talked about this, Remember those Great Ones who
deserves to be mentioned - Favorite Musician.                       
                                                                
- MMSM - still 9O% of what I listen to in AY-Emul is his music.
Although on PC I was not impressed by his music, although maybe I didn’t like all of it
heard.                                                         
                                                                
....Coder, Artist, Just a person who made it for the stage
a lot of good things!                                                
                                                                
- There are no obvious leaders here, so I won’t say anything.                     
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
18. Do you consider yourself a Stager....                            
No.                                                            
                                                                
....and how do you feel about this “concept” of what it is in your opinion
What are Scene and Scener?                                          
                                                                
- 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. Or do you prefer Freeman's definition? ;) 
                                                                
                                                                
19. Can you assess the state of the Stage today???            
                                                                
- Objectively, no, because I don’t follow the ZX-Scene now. But for now
she still seems to be alive, although not as active as in the past
millennium :)

- To live on this? If so, then the answer is no!

- As long as those who used it are alive, they will remember him and
It is possible to occasionally have drinking parties and run emulsions. But yo
After 2O, Speccy will definitely have no future. This is
life. The scene on SBC is even more active :)

- Cosmos. Although, apart from the Elite and the X line from Egosoft, almost
there is nothing worthwhile.  But these are very good. I still love
strategies (Heroes, especially the fourth ones, StarWarcraft) and
of course GTAZ, GTA VC and GTA SA - decide for yourself which genre it is
