В различных компьютерных изданиях, в
кругах спектрумистов не раз обсуждалась
такая проблема, как "сколько ещё существо-
вать любимцу SPECCY?". Признаюсь, я и сам
часто мечтал о более мощной машине, не раз
предавал SPECCY такими речами как: "Хочу
пентюх, а спекки - вчерашний день, отжил
он своё..." - но сегодня я каюсь в этом, я
не представляю, как бы существовал без
привычной структуры команд, без его специ-
фической,unusual music, without its screen-
no region and without much, much, without che-
It’s impossible to imagine "SPECKY"... I understand-
but, a user who just let him play
games, this is why he will climb to more
powerful car. Spectrum will belong to
those people who looked into his inner
niya world, in its features (charms). And
if this person ever switches to
another platform then he will never forget
Speck, I guarantee it. He will always be
protect and remember with kindnessZX-Speccy.
The following problems are usually identified
speckies: insufficient technical power
ti; lack of protection by copyright laws
(!). We will touch on the last one - COPYRIGHT
RIGHTS.They exist and have always existed
li! I don’t know how it is in Russia and other countries
nakh CIS, but in Ukraine copyright oh-
are injured LAW (Article 136 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine,
Articles 472, 475, 497 of the Civil Code of Ukraine).

Recently I was thinking about the current situation
situation, and a crazy idea came to me. A
what if you create a distribution association
tion, which would be engagedLEGAL
distribution p/o for SPECCY? That is
some kind of association of distributors. I will give
example: the association consists of ten
distributors. Distribution license
Learning a program costs $10. Each of
members of the association contribute $1 and she (association)
ciation) buys a license at the distribution
tion. Each of its participants receives rights
forlegal distribution of this program
frames. In this case, the winner also
distributor, and software manufacturer.
Gradually, with the development of several competitions
rating associations p/o manufacturer
will be able to increase prices for
license. Finally coming out of hiding
"pirates"who, having enrolled in some
something "...distribution association",
will become OFFICIAL distributors.
New items can be shipped by
mail. For example,in some city su-
There is acenterassociation. And in case
the appearance of some new thing, it (the center) is dis-
sends (by mail, of course) to others
representatives of the association photocopies of
licenses, as well as master discswith new ones. Co-
Of course, this will require money. Here
there is a way out - every distributor regularly
will pay a membership fee.
In this way it will be possible to create a
the largestdistribution networkwhich
the swarm can be spread not only
p/o...
Well, okay, for today it’s still fantasy-
tika... This idea is, of course, imperfect,
but at least think about it, gentlemendistribution
Yutors, "pirates", hackers, programmers!
By bringing this idea to life, SPECTRUM will
given the necessary impetus in the commercial plan-
no...If you have any questions about all this
ideas, then write to the editorial office, which
published in sections "FROM AUTHORS", "AN-
KETA".

Let's digress from the topic associations and touch on
it may have lost its relevance
theme, 8(16)-bit (SHIT!) prefixes, which
which are still popular in non-
big cities (for example, like ours).
Sometimes some of my"friends",those who see
I have some business Speccy, they say that the console
(dandy-like) is better than him. I'm holding back
laughter, trying to explain to them that absolutely
it is impossible to compare personal computer
yuterwith a toy for preschool children
Rasta. They begin to nervously prove that
they say it has better graphics, a smaller point. Well
ok, but look at the price of the cartridges, and
to the price of a recording disc (cartridge = 8...15
grv, disk = 3...3.5 grv). May you spend
put on the console (it costs from 15 (support-
Zhanna) up to 40 UAH)less than a computer
(from 60 (128k+AY) to 140 (128k+ AY+FDD). On
a good cartridge contains one game and
it costs about 12 hryvnia, and on the disk
(collection of games) somewhere from 5 to 10 games
costing only 3 (3.5) UAH, that is,
the same 12 UAH can buy 4 discs, about
35 games!
And this constantly replenished 10-
thousandth (and more) world of multi-genre games
for your beloved SPECKY? And with this quantity
no dependence is observed - the more
games, the lower quality they are. Most likely
such a dependence can only be observed
on these "dumb" (but why in quotes?
editor's note) prefixes. Why not? There's only
one meager genre, so to speak, a school for
"children-thugs" - senseless fears
dolls-flyers-grabbers. And in general, we find
living in the company of "gamers" becomes
bored when they discuss the narrow world of gaming
cars, endlessly changing old cars
three games, which they played 20 times.
You can list the arguments for a long time
in favor of "ZX-Spectrum",but in my opinion, only
words "personalcomputer"capable
tear to shreds any arguments of the parties -
nicknames of consoles. As they say, the prefix
it will remain a console on which you can
but only press buttons on the joystick.

That's all I wanted to say, though.
