ZF6

SN>> I don’t understand Alexandrov’s position. If no one
SN>> distributes the magazine in the regions, then they will either not read it at all, or
SN>> they will buy a pirated version. In both cases, the editors of the media
SN>> will not benefit from this.

RK> A very interesting position. Why didn’t you throw an echo at Spectrofon 22-23 in RK?

So they bought a license for it in many cities, including St. Petersburg. Nothing has been heard about ZF. No one even threw the announcement into the echo.

RK> It was about the 6th format and the regions, if they want, may well
~~~~~
RK> distribute - the ZF editorial office is quite democratic (as is the editor.
RK> Spf).

So they distribute or don’t want to? Then provide a list of cities where the subject
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ is sold

SN> ZF. No one even threw the announcement into the echo.

I haven’t heard about other cities either. As far as I know, they
have a list of regular customers, which they count on.
Format 6, by the way, without any announcements, appeared with us a month earlier
than the spectrophone, which was very much announced.

SN> So are they distributing it or don’t they want to? Then give me a list of cities where
SN> the subject ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ is sold

I didn’t understand you... You pay money - you get a number, what problems.
There was no announcement as such, but you could find out, by the way,
Slava Mednonogov wrote about this. I think xl design is counting
on the fact that they gained fame in the first issues and whoever needs it will
contact them. Let them write it down themselves, I know from where.
By the way, since they don’t stop their activities, it means
they get benefits from it, the numbers pay off :), the distribution
is sufficient.

Sincerely Your RkS

RK> To EM: How is Oberon4?
We are doing it little by little... However, there are not many people during vacations/holidays relaxed, so the tempo is still far from shocking... :(( Never mind, let’s swing...

Good luck! Evgeny.

SN>> Nonsense. Even if they pay off, it will be at the expense of St. Petersburg, where the largest
SN>> concentration of Sinclairites in the country + contempt for pirates. I think from
SN>> others

RK> Well, what's the problem with the Spectrophone? The same Peter, besides
RK> you say that Sp. more common, why has it become unprofitable?

Read the interview on this subject in RVL4. How much do you think they paid us for a license for the whole of St. Petersburg for 2 issues?

SN>> Without advertising, they cannot count on decent demand in the regions.

RK> Well, it’s already issue 6, there’s probably at least one issue.

This is not an advertisement.

RK> And what do you mean by advertising?

At least throw the announcement of the issue into the echo from decency. Thanks to the absence of which, I personally don’t really feel like spending 25-30 thousand (at what the ZF will be sold in Moscow).
And even more so to look for it and go after it. So I most likely won't see the number at all. And since I don’t know the content (but I can imagine), I don’t really regret it.

Conservation is a process discovered in the present century. An empty tin as a
rule made of iron is filled, pressed up and closed with the lid.

SN> where the subject is sold

It is sold in our city (according to one of the sellers at the radio market). I wasn’t there myself, I didn’t see it in person. 99% is broken.

With respect, Tim. [Team AMD - Amiga Must Die]

SN> This is not an advertisement.

Now people are already coming and asking: do you have a new format and spectrum background? People are not always interested in the content, except when the magazine
is on 2 discs :).

SN> most likely I won’t see it at all. And since I don’t know the content (but
SN> I can imagine), I don’t really regret it.

Still, the articles in the Format are rather weak, the quality should be improved. And
more gambling columns.

PS. Let's finish RVL4, don't bore people :)
Sincerely Yours RkS

SN>> This is not an advertisement.

RK> Now they are already coming and asking: do you have a new format and
RK> a spectrophone? The content is not always of interest to people, except
RK> when the magazine is on 2 disks :).

Well, that's right. People are hungry for fresh magazines. But you personally can’t force me to buy a subject right now. I'm just sure that on all these two discs there won't be anything particularly worthwhile from my point of view. That's my stereotype. And
only the announcement in the echo could dissuade me of this.

RK> Still, the articles in the Format are rather weak, the quality needs to be improved. And
RK> more gambling columns.

So if the subject is again at the same level, then, I think, soon I will not be the only one holding the above opinion
about the Format.

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now
Ounside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
Queen, the Show Must Go On.
