GOLDEP MAX ACCUSED ME OF BEING (DSHT) WHOLELY AND COMPLETELY
TOOK CONTROL OVER 'ZX-TIME' AND WON'T LET ANYONE TO BREATHE
CALM. ALLEGEDLY I DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE’S OPINION, BUT I DO EVERYTHING
JUST AS I DECIDED. I WILL INSERT THE WRONG MUSIC OR THE WRONG ARTICLE
I'LL EDIT OR SOMETHING ELSE. HERE'S MAX AND TO THE ORIGINAL
THE ZX-TIME#Z STRUCTURE HAD CLAIMS. THE POINT IS THAT FIRST
THERE WAS NO 'MAIL' SECTION - IT WAS COMBINED WITH THE 'FROM' SECTION
EDITOR' AND WAS COMPLETELY HARMONIOUSLY COMBINED WITH HIM. 'NO!' -
MAX AND VPP SHOUTED OUT IN ONE VOICE, AND THREATING WITH TORTURE WITH BOILING WATER AND
HOT TIN (WHICH HAS ACCUMULATED AFTER REPAIRING ANOTHER
COMP) WERE FORCED TO ORGANIZE 'MAIL'... (OF OF COURSE,
THEY FORCED IT - MAX WENT TO PUT THE KETTLE ON, AND VPP ALREADY TURNED ON
SOLDERING IRON...) :)))... MAX, ARE YOU SATISFIED?

                         - - -SINCE THE RELEASE OF THE SECOND ISSUE, NO MUCH OR LESS HAS PASSED - THREE

WEEKS. DURING THIS TIME, A SOME QUANTITY OF
REVIEWS, SUGGESTIONS AND CRITICAL REMARKS ABOUT
NEWSPAPERS IN GENERAL AND SOME ARTICLES IN PARTICULAR.
HAVING ANALYZED ALL THE LETTERS, I MADE SOME CONCLUSIONS - ONE OF
WHICH IS THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN THE CORRECT
DIRECTIONS. NATURALLY, SOMETHINGS REQUIRE CHANGES, IN PARTICULAR
NEWSPAPER DESIGN AND ITS EXECUTION.
SOMEONE COMPLAINED ABOUT A LOT OF SPELLING ERRORS. HERE
NOTHING CAN BE DONE - WHEN YOU READ ONE MATERIAL EIGHT TO TEN
ONCE, SOME ERRORS YOU JUST DON’T NOTICE. BUT IN GENERAL - I DO
DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO AVOID MISTAKES.
SOMETHING WAS SAID IN ADDRESS TO SOME MATERIALS (ARTICLES AND
SECTIONS) - BUT ABOUT THIS IN THE SECTIONS THEMSELVES. AND HERE I WILL CONSIDER
SOME REVIEWS CONCERNING THE NEWSPAPER IN GENERAL.

THIS IS WHAT DJ NOOLIGAP WROTE TO US...

JN: ''I READ THE SECOND NUMBER OF YOUR NEWSPAPER. HE APPEARED TO BE STILL
MORE INTERESTING THAN THE FIRST ONE.
ABOUT THE WHATCHUNKAKH YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND WHERE IS YOUR FACE AND WHERE IS YOUR ASS :) YOU
RIGHT. BUT STILL CHUNKS ARE A SPECIAL PHENOMENON ON STAGE AND THERE ARE
THERE ARE GOOD CHUNK EFFECTS AND THE BAD EFFECTS. AT ALL I
I HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE ABOUT CHUNKS. IT'S BAD WHEN YOU ARE OVER CHUNKS
DEM, BUT LATELY THERE SEEMS TO BE DECREASED...''

DShT: AND I DIDN’T SAY THAT CHUNKS ARE BAD. IT'S BAD WHEN THEY
LOSLY PROCESSED. AND IN GENERAL - IT’S TIME TO COMPLETE THE UNIVERSAL
'CHANCMANIA' - IS THIS THE LIMIT ON THE SPECTRUM?

DJN:''...AND ABOUT HUMOR I'LL TELL YOU THIS: THERE ARE JOKES OR
UNFUNNY OR VULT :) SO KEEP UP IN THE SAME SPIRIT :)
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO NEW NUMBERS.
PLEASE INCLUDE MY ADDRESS DJNOOL(A)UANOO.COM IN YOUR MAILING LIST
NEW ROOMS. IN YOUR REVIEW OF ZX INTERNET RESOURCES WE WOULD LIKE TO
HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR BABY (HTTP://ZXFILES.GASHSH.PET)''

JST: OKAY. :)

AND HERE'S WHAT VITALY VASILIEV FROM KRASNOYARSK WROTE...

BB: ''FINDING A NEWSPAPER ININTERNET I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED THAT SOMEONE
IS STILL PUBLISHING NEWSPAPERS RELATED TO SPECCY, AND IS JUST BEGINNING
RELEASE (...SKIP...) BY RUNNING THE NEWSPAPER ON THE EMULATOR I READ
BOTH ROOM, I REALLY LIKED IT AND THE IDEA WAS GETTING IN MY HEAD
WRITE YOU A LETTER BECAUSE I KNOW HOW NECESSARY RETURNS ARE
COMMUNICATION ESPECIALLY WHEN STARTING A PROJECT...''

DShT: OK, IT'S JUST GREAT THAT I WROTE.

BB: ''A LITTLE CRITICISM:
1) POORLY READABLE FONT, BUT THE SECOND ISSUE PROMISED THAT
7-1 ABOUT THE NUMBER THE FONT SHOULD CHANGE SO WE WILL WAIT.
2) A LITTLE INCONVENIENT VIEWER, BUT THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION, I
I'M USED TO READING MAGAZINES WHERE THE ARTICLES ARE DIVIDED INTO SECTIONS AND POSSIBLE WITHOUT
TURN THE PAGES START READING FROM ANY OF THE SECTIONS.
H) NOT ENOUGH MOUSON.''

DSHT: I WILL REVEAL A LITTLE SECRET: THIS LEAF IS A TEMPORARY PHENOMENON.
IN THE FUTURE IT WILL BE SLOWLY BUT PERSISTENTLY DEVELOPING (SOMETHING YOU
YOU'LL EVEN SEE IT IN ISSUE FOUR). AT THE ACCOUNT OF MOUSON - UNDER IT
ALSO 1B KILOBYTE OF MEMORY (1 PAGE) IS ALLOCATED, BUT OUR MUSICIANS
(ADD2S7) DO NOT HAVE OPPORTUNITIESWRITE MUSIC (ONE (ALEX) - LIVES
IN ODESSA AND HAS PRACTICALLY NO ACCESS TO SPECKY, OTHER
(DMITGU) - WITHOUT LEKHA WILL NOT WRITE ANYTHING (HE DOESN'T HAVE ACCESS TO
THE COMPUTER AND CAN'T USE THE PROTRACKER)), BUT WE STILL
LET'S USE THEIR LEGACY (WHICH WILL END SOON) - WHAT TO DO
NEXT - WE DON’T KNOW, WE’LL HAVE TO STEAL... :)

BB:''WHAT I LIKED: I LIKED ALMOST EVERYTHING
SECTIONS AND I SUPPORT THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE AUTHORS THAT IN THE NEWSPAPER,
IT SHOULD BE NOT ONLY ABOUT SRESTGIM, BUT ALSO ABOUT OTHER INTERESTING
TOPICS (BY THE WAY IN THE FIRST TWO ISSUES IN THE SECTION 'ABOUT EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING'
COOL ARTICLES)...''

DShT: STRANGE AS IT IS, THE AVAILABILITY OF NON-COMPUTER MATERIALS
ALMOST EVERYONE LIKED IT.

BB: ''WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE:
1) NEWS OF THE SRESTGIM WORLD...''

DShT: UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE - WE DON'T HAVE
CONTINUOUS ACCESS TO THE ONLY MEANS OF OBTAINING FRESH
INFORMATION (INTERNET)... ALTHOUGH...TIME WILL SHOW...

BB:''2) REVIEW OF NEW SOFTWARE FOR SPECCY, INCLUDING GAMES...''

DShT: IT IS POSSIBLE. HOWEVER, YOU DON’T WANT TO WRITE A TYP, YOU HAVE TO
CONSIDER ALL PROGRAMS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A SPECIALIST: SYSTEMS
REVIEW FOR CODES, GAMES FOR GAMERS, MUSICALS FOR THEIR ADVERSERS.

BB: ''Z) REMEMBER THIS PRINTED MAGAZINE 'ZX REVIEW' WAS THERE
SECTION 'FORUM' WHERE READERS THEMSELVES DISCUSSED THINGS THAT INTERESTED THEM
TOPICS. I SUGGEST YOU TO OPEN SOMETHING SIMILAR, BUT NOT HERE
DO WITHOUT US, THE READERS AND FANS OF SPECCY, SO I CALL
TO ALL WHO ARE PASSIONATE IN RESTGIM OR EMULATORS, DO NOT BE SILENT AND
WRITE TO THE ZX-TIME EDITOR AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE A LOT DEPENDS
HOW WILL THE NEW EDITION FROM YOU AND US DEVELOP AND LET'S NOT
LET'S LET HIM BEND. LOVERS, FANS, SPECCY ADVERSERS...
UNITE.''

DSHT: ZX-REVIEW REMEMBER AND HONOR HIS MEMORY :). ABOUT THE 'FORUM' -
WE'RE NOT AGAINST - IT'S ONLY UP TO THE READERS THEMSELVES

BB:''...AND NOW A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF.THE SPECTRUM APPEARED IN MY
1992 AND I MAINLY JUST PLAYED. A YEAR LATER, MY FRIEND
I BROUGHT THE GAMES TO DIZZ 1-B AND I HAVE BEEN HAPPY WITH THESE THINGS FOR A LONG TIME...
NOW I HAVE MY OWN IPTEGPET PAGE DEDICATED TO THIS
TOYS AND ARE CURRENTLY WRITTING A GAME FOR PC CALLED
DIZZU HR: FORWARD TO THE PAST. 2 PEOPLE ARE WORKING ON THE PROJECT,
IT'S ME (VASILIEV VITALY) AND RM.DEPVAS. WE HAVE TRIED FULLLY
CONVEY THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE SPECTRUM DIZZ, EVEN THE GRAPHICS REMAIN
FORMER. A DEMO VERSION OF THE GAME WILL BE RELEASED IN THE COMING DAYS, WHERE WILL BE
COMPLETELY PART ONE. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE DEMO VERSION FROM MY
PAGES. THE GAME IS WRITTEN ON PC UNDER SHIPDOSHS, BECAUSE NONE OF US
CAN WRITE ON SPECCY, AND STILL MOST PLAY ON
EMULATORS SPECCY AND MEANS THEY HAVE RS. IT'S A PITY TO PLAY THIS GAME
THOSE WHO ARE STILL 'SITTING' ON THE SPECTRUM WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY. FOR
I'M LEAVING THIS, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.
MY PAGE NTTR://ШШШ.VДВДIZZУ.PESHMAIL.GI''

DShT: SOMETHING I DID NOT LIKE SOME 'NOTES OF REGRET' AT THE ACCOUNT
THE FACT THAT NOT EVERYONE HAS MOVED TO PUSSIES YET. IN MY POSSIBLE
VERY SUBJECTIVE VIEW, 'ORIGINAL' (REAL SPECKY) IS BETTER,
THAN, THOUGH IT IS A HIGH QUALITY BUT A FAKE (EMULATOR)... AND NOT FAR FROM
EVERYONE IS SITTING IN EMULATIONS ON PUSSIES. VPP,KILLEGHAM AND I ARE REAL
SPECTRUMISTS. WE HAVE PENTAGONS. AND WE, UNFORTUNATELY, CAN
SEE YOUR DIZZY ONLY ON GOLDEP MAKH'OV PUSSY...

AND HERE ARE TWO LETTERS FROM UKRAINE (THE WAITING, FINALLY!). WORD
SEGGIO:

S: ''A SOME SERGIO FROM Krivoy Rog WRITES TO YOU. YOU HAVE A COOL
NEWSPAPER. KEEP IT UP! I LIKED IT AND I AM AGAINST THE 'LEFT' ARTICLES
I HAVE NOTHING (ALTHOUGH IMHO WITH THE LUNATICS WHO MINE
MINERAL RESOURCES :) - YOU WENT A LITTLE OVER...)''

DSHT: THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOOD WORDS ADDRESSED TO OUR. IS THE STORY ABOUT
LUNATICS CAN'T TELL THE TRUTH? AS PARADOXICAL AS IT IS,
BUT THE MORE INCREDIBLE A STORY IS, THE MORE TRUE IT IS (THIS IS MY PERSONAL
OPINION).

S: ''AND IN GENERAL - EVERYTHING IS NICE, DON'T THINK OF LEAVING THE DISTANCE.
AND AS TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE FEW REVIEWS, THIS IS UNDERSTANDING, THEMSELVES
THINK - TWO WEEKS AFTER THE ISSUE RELEASED, HOW COULD HE
WILL IT SPREAD? EVEN WITH IPTEGPET-NUGY COMRADES. I AM FOR EXAMPLE
ZX.DA.GI GOT TWO NUMBERS AT ONCE, NATURALLYCOULD NOT RESPOND
FIRST... AND SOME MAY SEE YOUR NEWSPAPER WITH AN ANNUAL
FRESHNESS :-(, I KNOW FROM OWN EXPERIENCE (I GOT TO IPTEGPETU
COMPARATIVELY RECENTLY...)
OKAY, I HOPE YOU FELT A WASH OF INTHOZAZIZISM AFTER
READING THIS uh, LETTERS.
BYE. KEER ZX ALIVE''

DSHT: ENTHUSIASM IS SPEAKING OUT :) - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
LETTER.

AND A LETTER FROM ROLAGIS FROM UKRAINE (FROM WHICH CITY, TO
SORRY, UNKNOWN):

V:''I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT THE NEED FOR THIS
KIND OF PUBLICATION IN OUR COUNTRY. I HOPE IN ADDITION TO INTERESTING ARTICLES
SEE WORTHY (COMPETITIVE WITH OTHER PUBLICATIONS)
SHELL, BOTH IN DESIGN AND IN CONVENIENCE
MANAGEMENT (UNTIL IT LEAVES MUCH TO BE BETTER, I WILL NOT
LIST ALL THE IMPACTS, THEY ARE PRESENT).''

DShT: EH, NUMBER FOUR... WHEN WILL YOU FINALLY COME!?! :)V:''WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE NEWS ABOUT LIFE
ZX PLATFORMS IN YOUR REGION, I THINK ALL THIS WILL HELP UKRAINIANS
SPECTRUMISTS SHOULD GET ORIENTED AND FIND SUPPORT IN YOUR FACE IN
YOUR BEGINNINGS.''

DSHT: THANK YOU. HOWEVER, SPECTRUM IS IN OUR REGION (DONBASS)
WEAKLY EXPRESSED. AND IF THERE ARE SOMEONE, THEY ARE NOT IN A HURRY
'GET OUT'. UNFORTUNATELY :(. SO THE NEWS IS HARD (ALTHOUGH
I WILL NOT APPROVE!). BY THE WAY, HAVEN'T ZX-TIME BEEN SEEN IN
DONETSK, DIMITROV, ZUGRES AND OTHER CITIES IN THE REGION? WHATSOEVER
THERE, AS far as I KNOW, THE SPECTRUM BREATHES SOMEHOW. OR NOT ALREADY?

AND NOW A LETTER FROM BLAST OFF - ALREADY, COULD BE SAID, PERMANENT
OUR READER AND COLLEAGUES (ZAGILEM#O1 - EXCELLENT):

VO: ''THIS IS SPEED!!! EVEN WE CAN'T KEEP UP WITH YOU. VERY
IT WAS NICE TO READ ABOUT MYSELF AT THE VERY BEGINNING. AND HERE'S MORE
QUESTION - HAVEN'T YOU THINK ABOUT THOSE WHO READ ZX-TIME FROM TV?
EVEN FOR ME IT WAS HARD TO READ FROM THE MONITOR. AND SO, EVERYTHING IS OK AND
I LIKED THE CONTENT.''DSHT: THOUGHT. THE FOURTH ISSUE WILL BE CHANGED FOR THE BETTER
SIDE.

WE, AS ZX-TIME PUBLISHERS, WAS VERY PLEASED TO READ YOUR OPINION
ACCOUNT OUR NEWSPAPER IS A QUITE FAMOUS PERSONALITY ON THE SPECTRUM.
HIMIK'S ZXZ WORD:

ZXZ:''...REGARDING THE SECOND ISSUE OF ZX-TIME, I WILL SAY:

• THE MUSIC IS JUST WONDERFUL, METALLICA HOWEVER. ME
  I LIKED THE BASS, SO QUIET, BUT AT THE SAME TIME LOUD.

• THE CONTENT IS NOT STRICT, BUT IS NOT LOADING.
  FROM THE MINUS - CHANGE THE FONT URGENTLY! I BARELY UNDERSTANDED YOUR E-MAIL!''

  DSHT: ALMOST EVERYONE COMPLAINTS US ABOUT THE FONT. BUT NOT IN THE FONT
  THE POINT IS ABOUT THE SIX-BIT CODING... AGAIN - IN THE FOURTH
  THE NUMBER WILL BE CHANGED.
