3. Well... Question straight forward :) Have you ever been to Grodno?    
                                                                
- I haven’t been, and I don’t even know where it is. :) If you come,
first of all, for the sake of a demo party, or to hang out with the Amizhniki.   
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
Ch. Do you know the Grodno spektrumists? even former ones?
Who do you think is the most prominent representative? :) Name it
whomdo you know personally? Who do you maintain relationships and contacts with?  
                                                                
- Until today, I only knew Breeze aka Dead Herring
(ts)TsTs.  ;-) Cool dude, positive.  Sometimes on the Internet
Let's meet him. I would also like to chat live.         
                                                                
                                                                
5. Tell us a little about your biography - how did you spend your youth?
                                                                
- Born and raised.  Everyone has been through this.  :) First
kindergarten, then school, technical school. I was too lazy to go to university
because by that time he had already given up on the army. :) Currently working in
meat processing complex Atyashevo (sausage and all that)
Head of the Analytical Department.                              
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
b.  How did Fate, the villainess, bring you together with Specki? How did it happen
what time (short story)                            
- The first time it happened was with my neighbor friend somewhere in 1992.
It was the original Spectrum, black, rectangular, on Ch8
keys  We spent all the evenings (and sometimes nights) together
computer  Of course, they were not interested in anything other than games. Saboteur,
Elite, R-Ture, Exolon, Silkworm, Commando, Uether Earth, Dizzy,
and other cult games of that time. Then another neighbor bought
Speck, and more. Almost every weekend we went to the Znanie store
for new cassettes. In about a year I will also have a Spectrum
at home.  Ch8k memory, tape recorder, small screwdriver for twisting
tape recorder heads, and a black and white TV! what else is needed for
happiness?                                                        
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
7. What is your main specialization on the Spectrum? Right away
did you come to her? Did your education help you with this?     
                                                                
- When I got my own computer, at first I continued
just play. Afterlocal craftsmen increased the
memory up to 128k, added a disk drive and AY music.  Floppy disks
allowed us to start meaningfully collecting software.  So
Thus, I began to have different editors, demoscene
material, and the like.  Local trips have begun
radio market, search for new software.  At the same time it became
think about how to transfer everything from cassettes to floppy disks.
Slowly I began to study assembler and make floppy versions (although
it didn’t go further than me and a few friends), I wrote on
screensavers mentioning your little work done (and
met ArtStudio).  In fact, I didn't go any further.
Dispatched games, broke defenses, built infinite lives,
drew a little.                                                
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
8. Speaking of hares! What is your specialty? where did you study?     
                                                                
- My specialty is exclusively for factory workers -
metal forming technician.  In our
everyone in college is about the samedistributed.  :) Work on
I didn’t major in...                                     
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
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?                               
                                                                
- On ZX I was more or less creative with my friend
SeaExplorer. In joint projects, he coded and I drew. Group u
we were not called in any way, there were virtually no serious releases,
and no one knows them.  The most successful (with a stretch)
you can probably call it a rather convenient music AY player,
able to play music made in different editors. Was it
somewhere in 199H.  There were unfinished intros and something else
(I don’t remember now). I remember I got so into SwitchBlade that
I even drew a splash screen for the game.                                 
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
9a.  Do you haveprojects that have remained so? B
dreams?                                                        
                                                                
- No.  There were no special plans at that time, so all that
thought - it was done immediately.                                  
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
1O.   How did Spectrum affect your future life?
(Acquaintances, connections, choice of profession) did the hobby influence
your future destiny?                                        
                                                                
- The maximum with whom I periodically communicated as a spektrumist is about
ten people. There was no way out into the world. Our "Internet" was
creepers in gifts/intras/games, and radio market. I'm on it
and got acquainted with the Amiga, and began to think about buying it. Only later,
having become an Amizhnik, I appeared on Fido and the Internet, began to communicate with
new friends who, as it turned out, also came from
spektrumistov.  Expanding your social circle and joining the Amiga community
the community did what the Spectrum couldn't do -
I started doingmore meaningful things at the computer (or maybe
just grown up?). Although still with pleasure and interest
I communicate with spektrumists, look at the software in the emulator. Spectrum instilled
I love computers, the Amiga helped me distinguish between interesting things
among the mass of computers.                                        
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
11. Your first Spectrum was (what?) What were the next ones?       
                                                                
- The first and only one was Delta-S (Ch8k). Later expanded
up to 128k, disk drive, AY coprocessor.                              
                                                                
                                                                
11a. Which model do you consider the most successful and advanced?     
                                                                
- I don’t follow Spec’s hardware very closely, so
Let me skip this question.                            
12.  What is the Spectrum, zx scene for you at the moment.
Are you doing anything, just being interested?news or a long time ago
sent all this??? :))) if so, what, how and when?            
                                                                
                                                                
- I think that some time ago Spectrum moved into the category
underground platform. This is neither good nor bad. It's different. :-)
It’s just that ordinary people no longer understand this culture. Of course
this does not mean that the culture is dead. Leaving advertising covers
Spectrum continues to amaze. New motherboards and hardware,
people and software.  Yes, not as much as we would like... Also pleasing
creativity on the demoscene. I generally express sympathy for creative
to people.  Although I haven’t done anything on the Spectrum for a long time, but
I support the community as an organizer of demo-parties (CAFe, DiHalt).
Without live communication and exchange/distribution of software/works
the platform will die. Unity? this is the key to a successful future.      
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
13. What ZX sites do you visit?  if you visit?                
                                                                
- Every day I visit the forum zx.rk.ru, scenergy, echozx.spectrum
in Fido, less regularly raww.org. In other words, all news
sites that are more or less updated. I go to them using the links
to private sites and other related ones.                        
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
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?                             
                                                                
- Quite positive. Because there hasn’t been a real ZX for a long time.
I myself have used emuls at different times: ASp, ZX-Live, CBSpeccy
(the same one from CodeBusters), fbzx, x128, ZXAM, Speculator, maybe
I forgot what else. Currently only the following work on my Pegasus:
ASp and fbzx.                                                     
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
15. Name your favorite on the Spectrum DEMO, GAME, Uewspaper,
Magazine (or several in ordercoolness)                  
                                                                
- Don't judge strictly.   :) Insult, Commando/WDW2, Uicron,
Spectrofon.                                                     
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
1b.  Name the best Graphic and Music Editor, Best
Assembly language or other software, the authors will be pleased!               
                                                                
- I liked working with graphics in ArtStudio. Coded in Zeus.
Decodil in STS. I wasn't interested in music.                            
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
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!        
                                                                
- Oh damn.  :-) A whole bunch of peopledid a lot of good and
legendary on the Spectrum.  It's easy to single someone out
impossible...                                                   
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
18.  Do you consider yourself a Stager and how do you feel about it?
"understanding" what this is in your opinion? Scene and Scener?       
                                                                
                                                                
- Yes, I think so. I periodically monitor newly emerging works.
on different platforms, communicate with people, go to demo parties, and
I’m finally organizing them myself. :) I'm working on the demoscene now
I hardly do anything (the last one was Wild work
DiHalt_Rulez with DiHalt 2OOS, made the night before the party). For
me Scene is still that underground subculture
art that arose in our country at the end of the last century. And
I don’t even perceive it differently, and I don’t want to perceive it.    
19. Can you assess the state of the Stage today???            
                                                                
- We must admit that things are not so good. The peak in Europe was like
once at the time when our first Enlights were just starting.
Later the wave reached us (the peak was around 1999-2OO1).
I would like to believe that there will be others behind this wave, perhaps
more powerful. And I will contribute to this!                    
2О.  Have you personally attended any Parties? As a viewer either
participant? What did you like? What's not?                           
                                                                
- Yes, of course.  I started as a spectator with SS'OO and SS'O1. Later
joined the team of organizers of CAFe'O2 and 7O3. Then
looked at SS'OC and decided to revive DiHalt'O5. This year
I invite everyone to DiHalt 2OOB!                                  
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
21. Is it possible to make money on the Spectrum? and how?
                                                                
- I don't know.  I've never thought about this question. For me
my passion for computers is still my hobby. Although if
think about it, then I think you can find enough ideas for application
quantity.                                                     
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
22. Does Spectrum have a Future and how do you see it???    
                                                                
- I'm not Nostradamus, but I think for some time people will
get involved in the demoscene, develop software, make operating systems and
new iron. I do not undertake to predict further. :)               
                                                                
                                                                
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)                                            
                                                                
- I don’t think so on the classic Spectrum. But in principle I believe that
it will be created.  And the day on which this happens, I
I'll mark it in red on my calendar. :-)                    
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
And a couple more “life” questions:                               
                        
                                                                
Have you served in the Army? Where and when?                            
                                                                
- No.                                                          
Do you have your own family (wife, children)                         
                                                                
No, no.                                                       
                                                                
Will you tell them on quiet winter evenings about the Spectrum
 ?? :)))) Or already??                                            
                                                                
- Naturally :) and even show it.                             
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                
Do you have MS, what kind? (or maybe Amiga, MAC?) You create
what are you doing? you either use it for creativity or just play
games (which ones)                                                  
                                                                
                                                                
- Games are extremely rare, it takes up too much time
wasted.  At home there are Pegasos2, Amiga12OO+OZO, A12OO, AbOO. Now
I'm still waiting for Efika.

- Sony Ericsson T1OO. I quite like the phones of this brand.

Do you have an idiot's dream?                                          
                                                                
- Fortunately, no. :)

Have you ever read our newspaper? Wishes and suggestions
are there?
