Hello, Andrew !
In a letter dated 19 Oct 97 you wrote to me:

AF> ZX.SPECTRUM will die...

Under no circumstances. We don't need a bunch of lamers at all

^^^^^^^^ (Here we are talking about gating ru.amiga in Spb.ZxNet)

Warm greetings,Слава!

VM> Continuing my favorite topic :)

And would you like to continue it?

VM> Sinclairists of all countries, think thrice before
VM> before choosing a new platform!

And also think that after all, you are going to move to the _platform_, and not
to the _people_ who have this platform. :-)))))

And if I write how many psshniks, when they see Spectrum discs for sale on the market, start laughing like idiots, even 100 such pages will not be enough for one trading weekend. And for some reason, for example, RU.WINDOWS too
why they _really_ won’t want to involve spektrumists, and there will be even
more “warm” words! And what starfucker said about speckies and spektrumists, you forgot to add to this message for comparison (it was the view of a psshnik), and there would be a contrast on the face. And if so, then it is not known who is better to treat speckies,
Amigists or Ptsshniks!

P.S. This is IMHO, fanning hostility between platforms, and quite a major
provocation.

With respect, Alex from FFC COMPUTERS.

No, not that big :)

Warm greetings, Slava!

:) So the work speeds are the same :)))
Tell me, is there at least one person who has a point on his Speccy?

IMHO, people are to blame for this attitude towards us, not the platform.

PS: in your opinion, since I have an Amiga, I’m the last piece of shit, right? :-E

Bye, with a pack of vicious, Pavel Fedin.

AL> Then why ru.amiga. They were going to connect to it.

Agree, ru.amyga exists, but ru.ibm does not (?).

With all sorts of regards and wishes.

I was in ru.amiga Pavel Falcon from Speccy, so they probably disconnected him from there because
he was talking nonsense. It's from 5030, if necessary I'll look up the address.

I haven't tried working in ZED yet, but for now yes.

This is my address. This is a zkhnetchik. Only used it as a user of my bbsa. Via
terminal and writing modem.

AL> I haven’t tried to work in ZED yet, but for now yes.

;) On spec it’s cooler. ;)

No idea. I don’t see that echo in my grandfather. Only echoes of abuse in the form of increased non-soap traffic to the network and back are visible. ;)

ZED is almost a copy of golded. Not even almost, but a copy. :) Convenient, everything is at hand.
The only negative is 64 characters per line. Moreover, if the “header” of the letter is still
clear, then it would not be a bad idea to implement the text itself in 42 characters, well, like
IS-DOS (to read - it’s fashionable to add, to write - using the config we find the number of
characters in the line, then transfer it).

And I don’t like GoldEd.

hmm.. well, I don’t know. for example, on my TV everything is perfectly visible and readable. and
colors can be adjusted to enhance readability. in general, in fact, I'm too lazy
to redo the text engine :)

Goodbye.

It’s quiet outside the window, and I’m sitting and writing a response to a letter written from Evgeny Milun to
Igor Gruzdev Fri Nov 14, 1997 at 10:13 am...

Docs and user manuals in bbski need to be read. ;) In settings on the BBS, you just need to simply set the screen width to 64/42 characters. Well, or the height of the screen is two times smaller. And a request for more[Y,n]. No problem.
