So not all amigists and spektrumists are the same!!! It’s too early to draw conclusions based on a single message! Opinion may also depend on your social circle, and this circle is different for everyone! But when you explain to a person for a long time that there is an Amiga, but he
then buys a PC, since the janitor Uncle Vasya also has a PC, this can make
some people a little angry! In the end, all living people
make mistakes! And in this dispute I do not support either one or the other
half!!!
With respect, Alex from FFC COMPUTERS.

This was an opinion, and the opinion of Max Romanov, and no one
supported it. What was it based on? It is enough to remember this echo
six to eight months ago. A primitive flame on the topic rules vs suck,
the true background of which was a showdown on the topic of who is cooler,
who is lame (ZX-Format vs SPF).
Moreover, the most ardent participants had
a very distant idea about the opposite platform.
Note that Max did not come here with this letter and he did not
blame the Spectrum, which cannot be said about those who appear with enviable regularity here
cool pussy hackers and just visual basic programmers.
About people; an offtopic computer (not a PC) survives in the vast expanses
exUSSR also because Amigans know how to help each other, and these are not
empty words.
Nicolaus.

What do you want? After all, the PC is an office computer, and a good part of the users are complete dummies. And look at what they teach in our non-technical universities - it’s just a nightmare! The head of the Department of Informatics of the Kirov Pedagogical University is not able
to format a floppy disk, the content of his lectures is abstract nonsense about algorithms
and not a word about the computers on which we work and the programs that we
use... :(
Besides, in the provinces, besides PC and Speckie, there are no computers, I’m not talking about
domestic Vectors and BC, they are just extinct :(
So long!
