From Sergei Novikov To All 19 December 1997


Hiya All!

Вы уже видели ZX-Ревю 5+6 '97? Уже лучше, да? По сравнению с 3+4 - явный
прогресс. Появилась графика и музыка. Ламерских статей не замечено... Одним
словом, уже можно жить. (Может быть когда-нибудь будет с Scenergy конкурировать?
;)))

Yes, but 7-8-9-10 is even better, but at 11-12 they didn’t even make an introductory picture. And their music is pretty good. Actually, I don’t think it’s worth talking about
competition, since the Review, despite its changed appearance, surpasses all half-demo magazines with a minimum of information in terms of information content.

Well, the music everywhere is pretty good, but in some magazines it’s simply best.

Well... Who cares. In principle, the uncertainty of their information is not high - there is nothing sensational or particularly important. And the design is generally prehistoric - it's disgusting to read. Everything is in one color - it’s difficult to highlight the main points for reading - you have to flip through it in a scary way. No pictures, no illustrations in the text. But
at least you can write the text to disk yourself (this, of course, rules).

VP> this is where they will bury you :(

Yes, and how will they bury me? I now have access to almost all
Russian publications, except perhaps behind the scenes, and I, honestly, stopped liking
the appendix that moves from magazine to magazine ("and from one to all melody..." about
our pop music). What, pray tell, can the Format give? Disputes about the Amiga, plus
all sorts of activities on preparing new programmers, I'm sorry, but after
Inforcom it's not worth talking about this topic. Besides, everyone somehow talks about the same
topic, there is practically no variety, but the shells... But we are going to criticize the new look of the Review, but nevertheless there are no cool shells and bells and whistles, but you,
excuse me, why are you writing out a bunch of graphics scanned from IBM/Amiga and a multiplying
arrow? I, for example, have interesting information? I’m writing it out.
And to the Formatovtsam - sorry, I just came across it, it’s not important.
I will gladly change my opinion if I am given such an opportunity. In general, I’m glad to see the emergence of new provincial magazines, they don’t have big names yet, but they can give a head start. "giants" in terms of information content.

The fact is that due to the unclear interface and the complete absence
of any design, layout, even the most interestingarticles are lost among
mountains of garbage. At least the main thoughts were highlighted in a different color. The magazine was made somehow carelessly: they summarized a mountain of letters, typed them and scattered them into categories. And look.
If only they had some kind of table of contents...

But that’s not what I was talking about. Of course, it is necessary to highlight everything and focus the reader's attention on what is important, but why do this to such an extent when everything is spinning, spinning, and other effects? Everything is good in moderation.

Well, I can say a lot, but I won’t, why stoop to “smart” people
like you, who write about something of their own, incomprehensible. Why did the highlighted words
not illuminate you?

What do you mean? In general, I like attacks on people who don’t understand what they’re talking about, you’re apparently too smart of a person, an interesting tactic - you threw out a proposal of near-obscure
content, but nothing about anything and it seems smart. I’ll give you another hint - “Yes, all this is bullshit”, “I think so too”, “And here you are wrong.” Comments are equivalent to yours.

Think for yourself. And don’t just make a blizzard about the “smart ones.” You are nobody.

KP> What do you mean? In general, I like attacks that I don’t understand what you’re talking about

That’s what I mean, that it’s not appropriate to call any graphics translated from
other platforms - scanned, and any PC-compatible - IBM

this is a kindergarten.

Good Luck...

Well, apparently I offended you in some way - I'm sorry. I can’t understand why? Why such rude words, immediately insults? What did you mean "nobody"? I,
for example, am a teacher. classes, and, I will say without false modesty, not bad. Although
maybe you meant Spectrum? Well, of course I’m not Vyacheslav Mednonogov or Stalker,
but, I dare to assure you, I’ve achieved a lot. I have quite a large number of
my own original developments, I have a column in the electronic
Specchi magazine behind me, after all, it’s worth paying attention to.
So let’s stop there and not spoil each other’s
mood with useless abuse.

From Roman Kontsevoy To All 2 January 1998

I have been noticing your method of avoiding the topic for a long time - and jumping from
topics to personalities and back does not add to your authority.

A typical abstract example: I say “My red car drives faster than Ivan’s car, because it has a more powerful engine “
Your answer (MR)” The engine is lame, I should say engine, it feels like I’m in a pioneer camp. Besides, Ivan’s car is _blue_, so we have nothing to talk about, since you’re a brake
go play in the sandbox and learn to talk. "

I didn’t start it -> back off.

I started with this, sorry. Maybe someone wanted to change the topic, but
it was at the beginning.
