Inforcom ordered to live long

YM> Subject. Today, after a telephone conversation with Friedman
YM>, the recent fears of the firm's clients were confirmed. Inforcom has released
YM> the latest issues of the Review, thereby fulfilling its last obligations to
YM> subscribers. Programs for distribution
YM> no longer accepts, it has said goodbye to Spectrum activities.

And what will happen to us now? :-(((Where to get Hard&soft? From whom? How
to exchange information?

Bye, with a pack of vicious, Pavel Fedin.

:))))) This was clear back in 1994, when they began to gradually creep away to IBM and Amiga, and Spectrum was not treated with the same zeal...

Good luck! Evgeny.

Sysopnik/Fido to choose from :)

... Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my Soul to keep.

As for Hard-a, it is better directly from us, since Inforkom sold
only ours, and only part of what we send out by mail. And this is more than 60
positions. And the software, although with a delay, is also appearing with us.
In my opinion, the remaining spektrumists on the periphery will not particularly feel the
lack of Inforcom, from the point of view of purchasing goods. As for the exchange of
information, it is, of course, sad that Inforcom no longer exists, since
Inforcom's main merit is precisely the publication of printed Spectrum publications.
Some of them were more successful, others less so, but the most important thing is that they existed, and
we will miss them now. On the other hand, maybe there will be more letters
to well-known electronic magazines, for example, ZX Format, as well as to the new St. Petersburg
magazine Spectrum-Expert.

How to pay? Money in an envelope? I'm not crazy. ;-)

Yes, he has a ZXNet node, but it doesn’t link to anyone. All four nodes in
Moscow were disabled. And restoring links is a problem for him - he is offended by the whole world.
He said a hundred times - link to 095/462 and everything will be fine...

He will now say that in Moscow mail does not go and echoes... They go everywhere,
except for his node.
