1. Well, as it should be for a start Name, Nicknames, age, place
habitats :)))))                                                 
                                                                
- Baglay Andrey Nikolaevich, August 16, 198O. Born and live in
Minsk.  I had a lot of nicknames. When Spectrum was in its heyday, I
really didn’t do anything and didn’t know anyone. So - wrote programs on
Basik, tried to learn Asm.  Then I signed proudly -
Megasoft.  Thenwas nicknamed Andystriker, now just Striker.
The story of the last 2 nicknames is simple - I watched a match once
European Football Championship 1988, final - Holland - USSR.
And there Van Basten scored a crazy goal against Dasaev with a volley from
zero angle.  And the commentator shouted in English - Super strike
from the super STRIKER! That's how it happened from there, because I'm football
I also love it very much :)                                              
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
2. Historical Motherland :)                                       
                                                                
- Minsk;)                                                      
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
3. Well... Question straight forward :) 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?                                     
                                                                
- Of course I was, my dear aunt lives with me and I have a bunch of friends.
;) Cool city of Grodno, I really like it! And the women in Grodno -
Finally rulez!  I don't go there as often as I would like, but
I definitely visit several times a year. Now I will go to
business trips there (my poor liver) ;) I love to sit with you
there on Sovetskaya or at the Drama Theater with a bottle of beer ;)        
                                                                
H.  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?  
                                                                
- Yes, I know.  Breeze, Alex Psych, Tom Hial, Sinus, Fox ;) Personally
familiar with Breeze and Sinus. I think that I will soon meet personally and with
chief editor :) ...                                                
                                                                
FOX > Already met :)                                       
                                                                
...I don’t want to single out anyone - everyone in Grodno was great - and the softwaremade, and drew pictures, and wrote music.                   
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
5. Tell us a little about your biography - how did you spend your youth?
                                                                
- Well, what’s special to tell? Studied at school with music club. I'm playing
on button accordion, piano, trumpet, accordion and guitar. More precisely for the first
The word “played” would be more appropriate for the number of instruments, since already
I haven't picked them up for a long time. I like to sing and play the guitar.
After school I entered BSEU.                                  
b.  How did Fate, the villainess, bring you together with Specki? How did it happen
what time (short story)                            
                                                                
- For the first time I saw the Spectrum at my neighbor's place. His older brother
I bought Santaka -OO2 Ch8k on cassettes.  And one day he
invited.  It was a blast... We played Rambo 2 all day long,
Bomb Jack, Bruce Lee and much more... For a long time I
I went to see him, because at that time my financial capabilities
For a long time my family did not allow me to buy a Spectrumyourself. 
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
7. What is your main specialization on the Spectrum? Right away
did you come to her? Did your education help you with this?     
                                                                
- Unfortunately, I only learned to program in Basik, ASM
I know only VERY superficially. I never knew how to draw, but
It's all a mess with music - there's music education - but I couldn't write.
Apparently because I didn’t know people who could help. Now
I took skill lessons from Fatalsnipe himself, people also helped
- Bugsy, Jeffie. I'm trying to catch up. At least
I'm trying... Well, actually, I found myself in
warez collecting and swapping.  I am a newspaper dealer
Paragraph and site Virtual TR-DOS in Belarus, changing Varez archives
with many people. This works out well for me. At least
I probably have the largest archive among Minsk residents, and I am with them
I can share my pleasure with everyone. Sine can
confirm ;)                                                  
8. Speaking of hares! What is your specialty? where did you study?      
                                                                
- I graduated from BSEU with a degree in accounting. However, I worked
I have only been an accountant for a year, now I work as a specialist in
regional sales and development.   The work involves
business trips, that’s how I met Kvazar in Gomel, in
Grodno - with Sinus and Breeze :)                                  
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
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?                           
                                                                
- I was not and am not a member. Projects... Together with our neighbor we released
I remember 3 issues of my newspaper, with a torn cover and music.
I just can’t transfer them to PC.. This is how I wrote the programs on bass under
your needs - like calculating a matrix, simplex - a method for that
to do homework fasterin higher mathematics ;)  
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
9a.  Do you have any projects that remain so? B
dreams?                                                        
                                                                
- I believe that everything is still ahead.                                    
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
1O.   How did Spectrum affect your future life?
(Acquaintances, connections, choice of profession) did the hobby influence
your future destiny?                                        
                                                                
- The love for the Spectrum that I acquired has not faded to this day and
I think it will never fade away. Spectrum rules! although many of mine
friends with whom we previously hung out over toys can already hear
they don’t want about it. But I’ll tell you for sure - either I know you now or personally,
or I correspond with many, both current and formerspektrumists. So - none of the exes spoke about the Spectrum
with notes of contempt in his voice. I remember once I brought it to Gomel
Quasar has a disc with Varez, there was music and demos - we are sensitive
When we looked at it, Sasha almost shed a tear from nostalgia.
The main answer is that it is impossible to throw those years out of life...        
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
11. Was your first Spectrum? (what?) What were they like next?     
                                                                
- The first model was Orizon Micro Ch8 k, then I connected it to it
disk drive  I still have it lying around, I don’t even remember it.
expanded on her. Then my neighbor gave up on spec and bought himself a PC -
I requisitioned a Pentagon 128 + TR-DOS from him. And in the spring I took it
Byte 1О2Ч + TR-DOS+ AY+Sounddrive from the famous Belarusian
muzaker Midnight - author of the super-duper publication Ueformal.
It's true that it's a little buggy, but they promised to help fix it. :)      
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
11a. Which model do you consider the most successful and advanced?     
                                                                
- Pentagon                                                      
                                                                
                                                                
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??           
                                                                
- This is part of my life... I spend most of my time online only on
zx-oriented sites.  I follow the news and new things
Varez, and regularly go and write on the zx.rk.ru forum. I am distributing
Paragraph in Belarus. And just a month ago Paul Pavlov suggested
me to become one of the co-authors of the Virtual TR-DOS site, because
that he has much less time.                          
                                                                
13. What ZX sites do you visit?  If you are visiting?

well, and something else there :)                                         
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
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?                             
                                                                
- I don’t accept antagonism between realists and emulators -
because I respect any person for whom the word Spectrum is not
empty sound. How does he prove this - either he writes in real life, or in
emulator - it doesn't matter. Moreover, enough have been created on the PC
powerful tools for creating programs on ZX. From emulators
I prefer Unreal Speccy andSpectacular.

But just a man who did a lot for the stage.  Well here
definitely - Sasha Xor (Axor) - print edition alone...
Paul Pavlov - as the creator of "our answer to Chamberlain - Virtual
TR DOS" and one of the most successful swappers of those times -
Alexandra Selezneva aka Quasar.                                
18. Do you consider yourself a Stager and how do you feel about it?
"concept" What is this in your opinion? Scene and Scener?       
                                                                
- I don’t think and never did. the stage for me is just virtual
bringing together people based on interests.  Well, I don’t feel the power of it
words ;)                                                        
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
19. Can you assess the state of the Stage today???            
                                                                
- No, I can’t.                                                  
2О.  Have you personally attended any Parties? As a viewer either
participant? What did you like? What's not?

It was in my hometown!                                           
21. Is it possible to make money on the Spectrum? and how?
                                                                
- It would be possible to earn money, but we need to change
mentality.  And how - usually - to support
people who do something, financially. Money has always been there
will be a good incentive to work. BUT our mentality is not the same. That one
Sasha Ksor doesn’t earn anything from Paragraph - God forbid that in
zero worked. And me too.

- There is a future - and what it will be like depends only on us!

Do you have your own family (wife, children)                         
                                                                
- No.

activities on spec - searching and collecting warez :)
