  From the editor: the following “thoughts out loud” are from me,
ART, sysop ZERO BBS and, compatible
government, editor-in-chief of WP, decided
format in the form of a letter. Because they touch
not only the points of my station, but also, in
to some extent all the Sinclairists in Tashken-
those and not only in it.

          ─────═════════──────

  The topic of my letter is quite extensive and
specific. We will talk about computer theory
internet networks (CN) as applied to human
ku in general, and TashZXnet in particular.
  Once upon a time, a long time ago (relatively
of course), the man came up with an idea
connect several computers to re-
giving information from one to another. Later
other positive aspects have emerged
this connection, for example, work "in re-
load sharing mode", that is, the same
local solution of one problem by several
computers.  Then the term arose
"local network".
  Much later, computers began
communicate via telephone lines. This
preceded by such parents of the Internet,
like the Arpanet network, which was created for
military needs and used special
dedicated communication lines, as well as large
theoretical work on theory creation
data transfer.
  As a result of the technical evolution of the CS
evolved into what we have today.
Thiscommercial networks, in total
representing the Internet, this is not
commercial networks, among which the most
greater fame and popularity
uses Fidonet.
  Currently in some countries
CIS urban networks ZXnet are gaining strength on
based on the SPECTRUM platform. Characteristics
of these networks are almost all attributes
booths of large CS: echo conferences,
e-mail, etc. Moreover, mail can
can be sent/received to/from Uhtephe-
ta, Fido and some other networks.
  But what’s interesting is that the users of these
they ZXnet are active, lively
participate in the life of the network, are “general
tors of new ideas."
  What do I see in this regard in Tashkent?
among TashZXnet users? Depressing
passivity! More than half of users
I'm only interested in one thing - to call and confirm
get something new from the BBS. Understand
same that BBS is a MEANS OF COMMUNICATION, not
warehouse of new toys. Of course new games
but mostly not games, and will continue to be re-
regularly appear on BBS, but only when
availability of free disk
space.  The BBS function will remain
classic - the ability to tie
users with each other. And don't be afraid
ask questions - whoever can help
zhet.  This is a unique opportunity to lead
conversation with all users at the same time
Specifically, through the to_all letter system. And obligatory
answer carefullyletters to_all,
even if you can't help the car,
toru, write on: they say “sorry, XXX, yours
I received the letter, but on this issue there is no
competent." The person will be very pleased
but at least they couldn’t help. What if
to his desperate call for help in response
there is only cold silence,
next time he won't have the desire
not only write letters to
everyone, but also to respond to similar ones.
  I ask all Sinclairists to think about this
topic. If you have any questions
or send me suggestions at:
