Spectrum in World (I'll change SUBJ, ok?)

Hello, Sergey!
Sorry, for offtopic!
> >> So in Italy there is only 1 Spectrumist :))

> AS> I told you that the Spectrum is a Russian people's computer :)

>It doesn't make it any easier for us =(
It's even easier :)... if it's Russian-folk, then we'll endure and overcome everything ;)
Well, what if seriously, then folklore is the most valuable thing that any nation has.
If only to give room to the flight of imagination. Sometimes some people have already succeeded and are succeeding quite well. In general, everything doesn’t matter, what matters is talent and the ability to “breathe soul” into a piece of hardware. And there...first out of curiosity, and then for pleasure, users will gravitate back to the Spectrum. Well, if they start to lament
that “such authors on the Spectrum are “disappearing””...THEN THE WORK IS DONE. In general, I am 100% sure that the real biography of the Spectrum in Russia is only just beginning.
Unlike the pussy, where there is simply no way for US, POOR RUSSIA (cut off
by the global West-East counter) :(, from the Spectrum, like from clay, you can
“sculpt” whatever your heart desires. The crookedness of a pussy is like a nail in a shoe...either wear it, or throw away the shoe...and walk barefoot. But with Spectrum
we can do something and correct the crookedness.
But to the subject :)

>50 richest.countries? Offhand:... ? Five in America, five in Asia, 15 in
Europe... That's it. The rest live poorer than us, i.e. in general, read, they don’t live.
Serega, what do they teach you in the academies?...at least they don’t caulk your brains...
a man from the States just wrote to me, $15,000 a year is the level of poverty,
he himself has $70,000 a year as a programmer. And when I started a conversation in relcom.talk on the topic that it would be nice for Russia to give its people a salary,
all sorts of mongrels of the Russian bourgeois attacked me with foam on their fangs...
They need to make capital, you see, and they rob Russia all and sundry,
so you sit on $200 for the rest of your life! :( and for $500 they will squeeze out of you everything that is
possible and impossible!!!
Our average in Russia is $2400 a year, just think. All of Europe, including
Serbia and Estonia and Lithuania are better than us in terms of per capita income, Europe is not 15
countries (you are small, count the richest ones ;) ) Asia is on one Arabian
peninsula, and indeed to the north to Turkey - you can’t go wrong, EVERYTHING IS RICHER. Everyone that is not Vietnam and eastern Burma is richer than us! Indonesia is richer. About Australia
and New Zealand, I hope you also don’t think that anyone there is content with
$200 a month.
In India, the average salary of a beginning programmer is $1000 a month. South Africa
I hope you have no doubts about the insolvency (solvency) of the population. And finally about LatinYou don’t have a high opinion of America, but nevertheless, things are somewhat better there with regard to income. So 51st place is unlikely,
more like a hundred or something there in the world - this is POOR RUSSIA.

> AS> found in 3-4

>Well, where do Spectrums come from in Japan?
Ha... they and Zilogom are all o'k. There are Yamahas though. But I don’t know,
I won’t lie.
>Even if that’s the case... What? What are they worth? Tomorrow they will take Speck off the shelf and take it to the landfill, and then they will launch C&C2 and, believe me, they will have no less fun.
They have idiots who organize clubs for 4004 programmers.
You don’t get it...mass is synonymous with cheapness for them...piss is trash, cheap!
Spectrum, Amiga - rulez!
