1. Well, as it should be for a start Name, Nicknames, age, place
habitats :)))))                                                 
                                                                
- It turns out that my name is Tarakanov Grigory Aleksandrovich aka
Scorpion, 1977 :) I live in a small town
Severodonetsk (Ukraine)                                         
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
2. Historical Motherland :)                                       
                                                                
- Siberia, Mother Russia, or rather the city of Tyumen                                                                
3.  Well... A straight forward question :) Have you ever been to Grodno??? A
want to visit?  If yes, how many times, what did you like?
liked it, Impressions??? Compare with your city? what is
purpose of the visit, will you come again???                                   
                                                                
It wasn’t, so UoComments :)                                   
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
Ch. Do you know the Grodno spektrumists? even former ones?
Who do you think is the most prominent representative? :) Name it
who do you know personally? Who do you maintain relationships and contacts with?  
                                                                
- Oh, to be honest, I remember the good old E-Mages with
comrade KVA at the head :). I always admired his work.
He did some serious things, worth it Lara Croft Mail
Editor. Well done, by the way, where is he now? I don’t really remember the rest
I don’t maintain contacts, I’m unsociable :(                                                                
FOX > Went to Minsk after entering BSU, seemingly without any exams,
Probably still there to this day :)                                     
5. Tell us a little about your biography - how did you spend your youth?
                                                                
Yes, how I spent it :), I ran around computer clubs, and since
They gave me little money, so I mostly watched how others played.
It was about 1991, and there were Ataris in the arcades. Later
Spectrums appeared.  Even slot machines were made on their basis.
That's how we lived :) It was a happy time.                     
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
b.  How did Fate, the villainess, bring you together with Specki? How did it happen
what time (short story)                            
                                                                
- Well, as I already said, I ran around playing games on the Atari. Later them
began to displace various Spectrum clones.  So it's possible
to say, my first acquaintance with spechappened in one of
gaming halls.  In the meantime, get yourself a real homemade one
A spec computer was an unaffordable luxury. Therefore,
I could only dream about it. Several years have passed before
how I got it.  Around 9:00 I borrowed it from someone
good person Ch8 spec. Well, obviously tape, still not 
I know what kind of modification it is, but I definitely remember that there are a lot of games on it
didn't work.  Wesley, the most offensive thing is that the Elite hung up. I disassembled the computer
I looked, the first thing I did was pull the data bus to one :)
so that the interrupt vector does not fail.  Well then AY appeared,
hung it according to some buggy scheme, the indicators did not work anywhere
but the sound pleased me :) At the end I finally bought myself a 9Sro
homemade Leningrad-1 with 128kb of memory, AYkom and most importantly with
BetaDisk :)                                                  
                                                                
                                                                
7. What is your main specialization on the Spectrum? Right away
did you come to her? Did your education help you with this?     
                                                                
- I always loved learning how to code. The main question that bothers me
always wondered how it works? In particular I loveprick
effects in demos, write your own, but we also write system software. Sometimes
I’ll pee some music, but rarely.                                      
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
8. Speaking of hares! What is your specialty? where did you study?      
                                                                
- In 2000 I graduated from our local institute with a degree in KISS
(Computer and intelligent systems and networks), in other words
systems engineer.                                              
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
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?                               
                                                                
- We once teamed up with Looker to form the DigiTech group. But under
This label has released almost nothing jointly.  On
I'm currently a member of the RSM gang, although I'm not active either
I'm watching especially.I've always been a solitary coder, and it seems like
I'll stay.  From what I did, X-Tracker deserves attention,
MOD editor for DMA USC. Although it looks more like quality
mod player, due to its incompleteness. Recently I wrote more
one tool X-Jpeg Player, jpeg viewer. There were also a few
int.                                                           
                                                                
                                                                
9a.  Do you have any projects that remain so? B
dreams?                                                        
                                                                
- I try to finish everything I start. That's why I don't dream much
:)                                                              
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
1O How did Spectrum affect your future life? (Dating
a, connections, choice of profession) did your hobby affect your long-term life?
what fate?                                                    
                                                                
- Thanks to Spectrum, I started coding in Asma. You could say he
was my teacher, and still is to this day.                  
                                                                
                                                                
11. Was your first Spectrum?  (what?) what were they like next?    
                                                                
- The first was Leningrad-1 128kb with AY and a disk drive. Later collected
our local Quantor-1O2Chkb with a bunch of bells and whistles, such as a DMA mouse
USC, etc.                                                      
                                                                
                                                                
11a. Which model do you consider the most successful and advanced?     
                                                                
- In general, I always wanted a Pentagon, because it’s very demo
I love it, but on our clones the IUTs are crooked. Maybe it's a mania, but it's
yes :)                                                          
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
12. Thanis the Spectrum for you, the zx scene 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??           
                                                                
- At the moment I am the proud owner of a simulator
UnrealSpeccy :) I don’t have Real, so we’re huddled in the PC. Interest in
The platform did not disappear, nor did the desire to code a thread. Yes
that for now I am not passive and as interest and time arise
I'm creating.                                                          
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
13. What ZX sites do you visit?  If you are visiting?

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?                             
                                                                
- If it weren’t for emulsions, I would have already given up on spec and turned into
nostalgic whiner. For me, emulsion is a working tool,
Moreover, it is very convenient for soft making. By the way, you can
quietly use it at work, which is what I usually do :) So my
both hands in! :) Favorite emulsion is assigned to UnrealSpeccy.          
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
15. Name your favorite on the Spectrum DEMO, GAME, Uewspaper,
Magazine (or several in order of coolness)                  
                                                                
- Well, let it be like this: SChV, Batty, ZX-Time (hi guyz), ZX-Format.
But also many many others...                                  
                                                                
1b.  Name the best Graphic and Music Editor, BestAssembly language or other software, the authors will be pleased!               
                                                                
- From the graphics it’s definitely BGE. From music, although inconvenient,
I use PT3.   There is only one asm for me: STORM+STS=Rulez
forever!!! :) It's a pity that they didn't finish the 2nd version of the storm :(.         
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
17. Well, if we have already talked about this, Remember those Great Ones who
deserves to be mentioned - Favorite Musician, Coder, Artist,
Just a man who did a lot of good for the stage!        
                                                                
- This is actually a super difficult question%) Some of the music I liked: IMP,
Mm<сm, Must.  Among the coders I always liked RST7 :) Artists:
Fil, Gas13, pROF, Diver are much shorter.                           
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
18. Do you consider yourself a Stager and how do you feel about it?
"concept" what it is in your opinion - Scene andScener?     
                                                                
- I have never been a stager :) I think for this you need at least
be a regular participant in various computer festivals,
which I am not.  Also, these comrades (sceners) usually
they do speck for the sake of creating works for the party. To ultimately
as a result, to amuse your vanity and show your importance, they say
look how cool I am :-). I don't like this either.          
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
19. Can you assess the state of the Stage today???            
                                                                
- It exists :), that's all I can say on this issue.         
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
2O.  Have you personally attended any Parties? As a viewer either
participant? What did you like? What's not?                          
                                                                
- Apart from our local SpeXtream there is no, so not particularly
I can judge this. In 1999 he exhibited virtually at CC99 with
intro Beyond/CHK.                                               
                                                                
21. Is it possible to make money on the Spectrum? and how?
                                                                
- Now we’re not sure. Our ranks are thinning, thinning...                  
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
22. Does Spectrum have a Future and how do you see it???    
                                                                
- And it already is this future - under emuls :) So it’s not all like that
scary, there are a lot of nostalgic retro fans left :)) We'll wait
we'll see...
