ZXNet echo conference «zx.spectrum»

From Vyacheslav Mednonogov To All 17 January 1998


Get Msg, Andrew!

13 Jan 98 15:07, Andrew Savichev reported to All about {About the estimate of the number of
spectrumists (Slava Mednonogov)}:

AS> The population in our regions is also approximately 3:1.

That is. and there are three times as many Sinclairists in Moscow? ;) What if we evaluate it by traders
? In Moscow - 2..3 (FFC,MS(?),...), in St. Petersburg - approx. 10.

AS> the number of spektrumists in St. Petersburg is 1000 people, but IMHO this figure
AS> is somewhat exaggerated ;)

It’s too early to say, but I can only give data on UFO1/2 sold in
_St. Petersburg_:
1. 1500 - 95-96
2. 1000 - 96-97
At the beginning of distribution CV I can assume that the number of Sinclairists
has decreased by another 25%.
What is the ratio of those who bought_legal/(pirated+not_bought) is difficult
to estimate (maybe multiply by 1.5-2?)
What is the situation in other cities - all the more questionable.

AS> That is. There are really from 2 to 4.5 thousand of us and perhaps more

:-?


Warm greetings, Slava!
