   The tenth issue ZXTime was one of
those few who simply caused a storm of
charged with emotions. However, positive
there were still more than negative
nykh. By the way, after analyzing one
from negative responses, we can call
to be the author of one of the issues Lamergy,
where ZXTimewas not very flattering.
But we will not do this, since
the torus will naturally unlock. Yes and oh
There is no question of one hundred percent certainty. 
                                        
   Well, after such an introduction
you can ruin your mood again
a letter that arrived at the soap address
ZXTime from a well-known personality by
name Deadie:                          
                                        
 D: "...So I decided to criticize you here-
I'm looking for a newspaper.  It's good to run into stupid people
present for such cool things as:
GenZ, Skrju, Quick Commander, etc.!!!"  
                                        
   DWT: Well, about GenZ you can still help
argue - was there a collision? If you hit a
call for baseless criticism,
supported by not a single argument, then hitting
there wasn't. I tried to control all my thoughts
argue thoroughly.  In general, it’s mine
the opinion was highlighted according to
mark (subjectively), which means - so du-
I do it personally and I don’t force anyone else
accept my position.                  
                                        
   Well, aboutSkrju- I don’t deny it. Here
there's nothing you can do about it. There was a precedent.
I don’t deny it, it’s my fault.                  
                                        
   Quick Commander. Where is the collision? Comparison
two programs of the same class, which
practiced by almost all computers
Terrestrial publications, including in "bu-
major" press, from today
Is it normal to call it a collision?                  
                                        
 D: "...You make it cooler, and then you-
marvel..." DWT: I don't have to know how to cook
porridge to say that it is tasteless. 
                                        
 D: "Finish" the shell first
(by the way, the keyboard also has a
rsor keys :)..."                  
                                        
   DWT: Wooooow! Really?                
                                        
 D: "...Your Newcamer thinking is so
and right from all the cracks of ZX-Time, and behind
"crooked" turns of phrase hide only
your incompetence in the topics discussed
max..."                                 
                                        
   DWT: Interesting... Hmm... guess
nie... There is no other way to call it.   
                                        
 D:"...News and review of new software in
Issue 10 was moldy even before release

   DWT: It's that simple and it kills. Honor
ZX-Format, it's basically the end of the world. What
As for news, then I am in anticipation of such
marching ZX-Time  I haven’t seen it in the press, but
that means they had to appear.       
                                        
 D:"...Review of Internet resources imaginary

didn’t dig through “old rags”..."      
                                        
   DWT: In one of the first issues there was
something similar, but not the same. If only
If you read carefully, you would understand that
it was a “look after a year.” Information about
that has changed and the assessment is for the better
or worse.                            
                                        
 D: "...It’s somehow not even worth talking about the OS
I want to, but still. Who needs this? you
count the number of failed attempts
make a new OS on Speck, and everything will work
to their places. Other people are at least something
did - you're just scratching your tongue..."  
                                        
   DWT: You can count anything.
For example, how many galoshes were produced?
for the entire period of Soviet power. And for what-
th?  Is it really possible that some number will
twistobsessed with the idea of a spektrumist before
carry to the end what you have already started. If
want to know Deadie, then we (KilleRam and
i) are working on the OS. While we are arguing
about the general concept, but some structures
tours have already been discussed and even implemented,
what we will write a large material about in one
from the next issues ZXTime.           
                                        
 D: "...Aren't you tired?!."                 
                                        
 DWT: No.

 D:"...And don’t insert yours anymore

   DWT: Well, it's not up to you to decide,
Deadie.  And a “blue” face” is likeevaluate? Insult?

this for the soul. But if you've seen these non-

about this from a magazine/newspaper? Difficult couple
