This is when everywhere in Moscow they write for $3-5 ;)

Now we’ll make something like Nikron here, we’ll throw advertising and price lists?


Yours sincerely, Alexey Ivanov

Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?

And why is it so expensive? Here in St. Petersburg, including in our company, all the same
services are provided at exactly half the price, i.e. FIVE dollars, including
the cost of the disc, with undoubtedly no worse quality. Apparently, life in Moscow is indeed much more expensive.

Antiofftopic:
Since we are talking about recording a CD, and also, in view of the frequent
conversations and letters about recording the first (and probably the only)
CD for the ZX Spectrum, we invite all interested parties to cooperate.
Our plans are to publish such a CD for our IDE controller SMUC. Of course, I really want to make it so that virtual people can use this CD, but that's how it will work out. In any case, we invite you to cooperate, since we
will be able to offer the publisher of such a disc at least two important things:

1) a very low wholesale price for the finished disc - 20 rubles and below, even with
relatively low circulations,

2) the widest distribution channels throughout Russia.

Serge !

Everything Amiga is three times more expensive :)

AI> Now here we’ll make something like Nikron, we’ll throw advertising and price lists
AI> throw in?

So, is Nikron losing all his money in advertising and price lists? =8-[ ]

Warm greetings, Slava!


From Alexey Ivanov To All 3 February 1998

AI>> throwing out price lists?

VM> What, Nikron is wasting all his money in advertising and price lists? =8-[ ]

Well, there is enough advertising there... almost a quarter of the usable area.

Sincerely, Alexey Ivanov

From Andrew Savichev To All 4 February 1998

IMHO there is a reason for you to take everything under your wing, for starters you could publish a
mixed disc 1:5 (and don’t forget to put an emulsion on it without putting protection), and
so as not to offend straight people, let these 5 weight parts be useful
reference information.
I.e. no programs (except for the emulator and bells and whistles for it, which are not available on the Spectrum).
Where can I get 500 megagrams of interesting texts readable on the Spectrum?
To do this, you need to write a converter program that converts any IBM PC text
format into packaged Spectrum screens.
Maybe someone has already done this? Share then with everyone, plz!
Then the Spectrum will have access to a sea of reference information and all that remains is to
filter it into the river (but you must agree, there is useful information in no way
connected with the description of IBM software and hardware, in various areas of human knowledge)
Let users also on the Spectrum get a taste for paperless textbooks,
reference books, fiction and other things (and such There were already about a dozen TEXT disks for writing, if I'm not mistaken, i.e. 6G!!! - a third of them are in Russian)
And a mixed disk is needed precisely for payback, because so far no one has drive on the Natural Spectrum, but on the virtual one (as there are quite a few of them, there will still be 100 people, IMHO). 2/3!
So you can safely write on gold ones, 50 discs will go away with a bang IMHO.
And from them,As naturalists install compacts on their Scorpios and Sprinters
it will be possible to stamp them.
And the protection can be piled onto discs with original programs, CV class and
specially rated magazines.
Still, I hope that the compact for the Spectrum will not be the only one!

In 5020, Verbatim blanks can be bought for $1.7

From Victor Moskalyov To All 6 February 1998

It physically cannot cost that much, since a decent blank
costs about $4. No need for bare facts, please. Addresses of companies, if it’s not
difficult ;)

Again, you didn’t get enough examples from different cities? Decent
VERBATIM in Moscow $1.5

Addresses of companies are a no-brainer. Or, if you’re not too lazy, look in the same Mobile.
