Hi, All!
Hello, Paul!

Where will they get so many? ...not buyers, but ready-made boards?
Besides, they are not going to “flog the fever”, IMHO this is the race,
not then they worked so hard so that now "tarnish your reputation with unnecessary haste", cool down!

programmers.
Software will be paid according to sales (100% copy protection - general director's guarantee!) Where did you get 500 rubles from the air ;)

Are you planning on _the entire_ screen _redrawing _every frame_?

And there is no need to do it! in 256x192/256 mode everything is ok! definitely, I saw it with my own eyes!!!
And modes with high resolution on the entire screen for now for photos and “background” in games will be normal. Don't make sprites on the whole screen and again
everything will be ok! :) Windows and other primitives, by the way, will workmuch
faster due to hardware filling! So, write ZX-Windows, gentlemen!

This is for whom how, and secondly, there are 10 million pussies in Russia (?), and in the whole world
600 million (?), and there are still 10 Sprinters in the whole world!
Why are you like these same ones...a baby in a cradle...and you are taking him to a brothel?
Eh...fathers,....

Not everyone it means it’s given, everything is God’s will ;(
