 Well, in this category I will stick to
live traditions...

The birth of Cossackos refers to the
period discussed in today's ma-
teriale "Argumentation of degradation", one-
who may be a figure in that article
only partially. Perhaps he is rather "relatively
strength" (in the past tense) to those times
initially known moments of life
Spectrum.  And, it seems to me, I should
serve as an example of successful conversion from
one essence into another.                      
                                        
 Since the subjectsanalysis are
(sequentially) 18th and 19th issues
newspapers, and they in turn are
part of the whole object, then we will consider

 ...Opinion regarding the first releases
kov Cossackos is quite skeptical. By
essence, and there was no opinion, since
what Cossackoswas at its stage
rather short development
could not be called either a newspaper or a magazine
cash - so-so, a combat leaflet.        
                                        
 However, perseverance and perseverance, and
also, apparently, the seriousness of the intention
they were doing their job. Already from the fourth
release  Cossackos it was possible to be careful
hehbko call it a newspaper. I remember one day
noah from the editors "Review of the new" for
ZXTime#14 I did what I think was successful

things that, along with everything else, are positive

 However, the authors did not eradicate all
these shortcomings, and in some cases
they were even made worse.  Although I won't

began their correction. Let us note at the same time,
that Cossackos with reluctance and hostility
accepts criticism.  I understand that
sometimes Newart with his ironic dissatisfaction

can piss anyone off, but in pain
in most cases it is poisonous in form
criticism is constructive.
It should be taken into account and not splashed with saliva
in all directions and consider yourself offended -

Number 18. Plagiarism and imitation are not
always good, although in some cases
can also be useful. Personally, I remember Spect-
rofon and its latest releases. B part-

 I’ll speak separately about the “new

acceptance by the authors Cossackos criticism

irony, how the Cossacks rush with lightning speed
went on the attack. Although, probably, I still have experience

stupid, incomprehensible and pretentious. Want-
I would like to push the reasoning a little
SCLto the correctthe direction of the suggestive question
pocom: is there a difference between the word
"free" and the wording "paid, but
responder pays"?                     
                                        
 It remains only to state that
Cossackos today is a kind of sub-
poctkom. I would like to hope that this
the protracted period of growing up acquires
tet more intense tempos.

 I can’t say for sure, due to
no matter what the circumstances are today,
rnalPromised Land - whether he died or for-
lost in a mess consisting of life
circumstances, but with all confidence
I want to declare that his niche was occupied by the worthy
ny - new magazine bceykpauhckoro mash-
taba - 3BIT. Although I really want to
rely on the fact that nevertheless Promised Land
will come out someday and we will watch
healthy competition between these two... Hmm...
Today we can say MON-
STROV (in a good way, naturally).  
                                        
 If the magazine title is read on
in Ukrainian, mistaking the three for the letter Z, then
this will be the word zvit, which in translation oz-
starts - report.  However, nothing like that
what is inherent in the dry word “report” in journalism
there is no nale, rather it looks more like an alloy
several directions of Spectrum
journalism and is still inclined to prefer
property technical direction, what is
remarkable. However, here you can find
ty and news, and thoughts, and articles on re-
themes treated from Spectrum. But about
everyone is in order.                        
                                        
 In order not to linger on technical
com aspect of execution3BIT, we point out
quite a classic stylistic re-
shell design (a laZX-Format).I like
something, as an association came to
such a mind, a once popular magazineunder
Edited by Mikhail Maksimenko Chernaya Vo-
rona.  It seems to me that there are obvious
similarities.                               
                                        
 By the way, in many respects the direction
3BIT looks like a favorite Ukrainian bird
magazine production.  However, there is no such quibble
arrogance that was inherent
Maksimenko.                             
                                        
 But let's get to the point. I
I respect the right of the editor-in-chief to his
wide choice of material that should
be in the magazine. However, still, the opinion
the reader must continue to be taken into account,
to avoid unnecessary attacks, I will
consider the magazine precisely from the point of view
reader's understanding - no more and no less. Time
cases, when reading which some
that ambivalent feeling, I will commeh-
I'll write it separately, and I'll try at the end
generalize.                               
                                        
 "The day before".  I cited the paragraph above as
"preparatory" basis for
say about the material "On the Eve". Him, on
my opinion, there was no need to include
part of the magazine, sohow can he not but-
sieve of some useful content. This
personal correspondence that does not concern
directly to the reader... Hammering
empty space to make it seem bigger
terial?  I don't want to think like that because...
in fact, the material in the magazine is pre-
exactly...                              
                                        
As for "Speccy news",then
wives note that this is more like
assortment consisting of a review of p/o, new
tei and results of competitions. In principle,
interesting and concise method. Chief
minus, in my opinion, the lack of own
opinion.  If in terms of news
this is even a plus, in part
evaluation of competitions and programs - explicit
minus. In principle, this is a problem for many
publications today. It feels like...
tors (in this case not specifically 3BIT)
only for show they pretend that in-
are confused by Spectrum events/
programs...                          
                                        
I was very pleased with the section "Programming
tion". If "Print characters" and "Collection-
nickname codes"  can be called "chasing
yesterday",then the rest of the articles
represent something even new in
genre. For example, noteworthy materials
"Source Design"and "Mighty Shorty-
ka".  The author calls for order in the original
nicknames, so that reading and analyzing them does not exceed

And this is quite fair.  And in the article

 I was stumped by something I didn’t understand,
as a spektrumist article"Another World".Pe-
zone question - why is Spectrum in the publication?
Do you need a review of new pussy products?  For
that's why there are all kinds of SNIPs out there,
Computers and other colorful spellings

page magazines. This article is somewhat
ruined the impression of 3BIT.           
                                        
 Material "SpeXtream'04"  Rob F. and
my material with the same name from
ZXTime#14 are, it seems to me,
complementary.  However, there are questions
to the one who structured 3BIT - why
materialSpeXtream'04is not in

It seems to me that his place is right in “Raz-

 Evaluating the magazine as a whole, I want
