5. Tell us a little about your biography - how did you spend your youth?
                                                                
b.  How did Fate, the villainess, bring you together with Specki? How did it happen
what time (short story)                             
Answer 5&b:                                                      
                                                                
- This significant event began almost 12 years ago, when
Dad brought a computer from his friend called Spectrum.
I was completely delighted, and, like everyone else probably at one time,
played until I was blue in the face in Captain trueno and Chase hq, Joe Blade and
many other cool games. at that time literally on the next door
at the tram stop there was a store "Margo", where they were selling
cassettes and discs. in half a year I bought almost everything from them
floppy disks. then it turned out that a person also lives in my house
with Spectrum, which has 5 times more disks than mine...     
                                                                
...We could call it a day.  I can only say that somewhere in
in the mid-nineties, my parents and I moved to another area of the city
and I’m losing touch with the spektrumists. but for some time I talked with
one person rummaging around in iron. through him I learned that
It turns out that my Ch8k "Leningrad" has a music coprocessor.
later, thanks to him, I received a Pentagon 128 s
with a chopped mouse and a General Sound card... hobby
Spectrum is still alivedespite the dominance of the PC. and all this is like
it seems to me because Spectrum is much more democratic and
more convenient than PC. you have complete freedom of action, and within
Ch8/128kb you can do things you never dreamed of
super-duper sophisticated pussy.                               
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
7.  What is your main specialization on Spectrum? Right away
did you come to her? Did your education help you with this? 
                                                                
- For a long time, besides using toys, I did nothing on spec
was studying. but one fine day I had the urge to have a little fun
with Sound Tracker editor. the first experiments were unsuccessful, and
I gave up the idea of writing music for a while. somewhere
a year and a half ago I switched to the latest version at that time
protracker, and that’s where things slowly started to take off. however this
just a hobby, in a year and a half of writing music I only have
about 70 modules, but I’m not chasing the quantity :) in parallel
wrote a couple of scripts, one for the game Fairy Wight 2, the other for
games that were planned for the competition"your game" but because
Graphics problems, the game still hasn't come out :(                 
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
8. Speaking of hares! What is your specialty - where did you study?     
                                                                
- Grandfather mazai =) but seriously, I won’t say. Company secret =)      
                                                                
                                                                
9. What groups were you in, are you a member of, what projects have you released? 
Which one do you think is the most successful?                               
                                                                
- Group - March Cats, the first and probably the only group in
of which I am a member.  if we take projects released personally
me, then there will be no such people at all, because without an encoder an ordinary user
nothing to do.

              Maybe I forgot something else... =)                     
                                                                
                                                                
9a.  Do you have any projects that remain so? B
dreams?                                                        
                                                                
- This is just one project that was conceived a year ago,
when I wanted to release the album VOX CLAMAUTIS IU DESERTO. part
tracks migrated to SFCV, others simply settled on mugs...   
                                                                
                                                                
1O.   How did Spectrum affect your future life?
(Acquaintances, connections, choice of profession) did the hobby influence
your future destiny?                                     
- It's hard to say. Perhaps it is precisely                           
Thanks to Spectrum I am now the person I am. More
than the 10th summer period of passion for the Spectrum will not be in vain =)
Thanks to my hobby, I met new interesting
people, broadened my horizons, filled out this questionnaire in the end =)
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
11a. Which model do you consider the most successful and advanced?     
                                                                
- I’m not a hardware guy, much less a coder, so I can say with
the position of a simple user - nothing better than 128k Pentagon
For me, no and unlikely to be. all these "cool" bells and whistles,
firstly, I won’t be able to install (and to be honest, it’s too
they started making them late...), and secondly - 128k is
standard, there are more machines with such memory than anyone else.                  
                                                                
                                                                
12. What is the Spectrum, zx scene for you at the moment.
                                                                
You are doing something, just interested in news or for a long time 
sent all this??? :))) If so, what, how and when??           
                                                                
- For me, Spectrum = hobby + nostalgia. nothing more. ZX scene...
oh well, she's in the swamp =) I usually just look through new stuff and news
on spec websites, from time to time I write music at parties, and
When I’m completely shaken up, I release a new issue of the Sinc newspaper
he-stared                                                       
                                                                
13. What ZX sites do you visit?  if you visit?

  VIRTUAL TR-DOS TRD.SPECCY.CZI used to go to ZXFILES.RAWW.UET, but recently hosting
raww.pet crashed with all sites.  zxfiles kind of like that
restored, but it hasn’t been updated for a very long time, and it’s a pity - there
the fresh guy sometimes appeared before everyone else...                          
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
1H.  Your attitude towards Emulators, which ones you used, is it necessary?
this thing in general: Otherwise we were arguing with Sinus... :) Beloved
(emulsion) maybe eat? Which one is the best???                           
                                                                
- Positive, but the real car is much nicer. The only one
and unique, which I used, use and will
use - z8Ostealh ь Kirill Kolpakov. According to
in my opinion it is the best (only tr-dos emulation is not there
by 1OO%, something needs to be corrected =))

FOX > And we are just checking to see if you know :)                                                                
                                                                
18. Do you consider yourself a Stager and how do you feel about it?
"understanding" what is this in your opinion? Scene and Scener? 
                                                                
- The scene... that's all bullshit, it's just a word, not for me
meaning absolutely nothing.                                      
                                                                
                                                                
2O.  Have you personally attended any Parties? As a viewer either
participant?  What did you like?  What's not?                     
                                                                
- As a participant was on СС'2OOS, Antique toy 2ООЧ-2OOS, Forever
5-b, Raww Orgy party, Kidsoft 2OOCH, of course, virtually.
I simply don’t have the opportunity to attend a party, although very
I would like to chat live with other spektrumists,
try to feel the atmosphere that reigns on
party place, especially at the moment when your
work... =)                                                    
21. Is it possible to make money on the Spectrum? and how?
                                                                
- You can make money on anything, and modern Spectrum is not
exception.  Another thing is that you can’t feed yourself with this alone.
if so that there is enough for beer, then with due diligence
it can easily work out =)                                     
                                                                
                                                                
22. Does Spectrum have a Future and how do you see it???    
                                                                
                                                                
- The future is very vague... only those who remember will remain
golden times, who did and is doing something for the Spectrum, and who
doesn't want to be a stupid game eater. and after a while
The Spectrum will be a kind of rarity in which they will invest
money (as now - in rare cars, etc. =))                 
                                                                
23. Is an advanced operating system possible on the Spectrum, how?
Should there be Spectrum itself for this and is it needed at all?
Do you believe that it will ever be created or do you think that
it already exists (what kind)                                            
                                                                
- operating system - possible (the same IS-Dos, for example - the only one
of all the spec operating systems created so far,
in addition to TR-Dos). It just won't take root. Basically, everything that
maybe an “advanced operating system”, you can do it now, without
special research.  The question of necessity is the most important. I don't think so
that everyone will use it (128kb+tr-dos is quite enough),
and most importantly, who will write software for this operating system?    
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
And a couple more 'life' questions:
