Questioning - The results of the survey on the status of the platform ZX-Spectrum in the former Soviet Union.

           The results of the survey on

         able platform ZX-Spectrum

             in the former Soviet Union.


        All figures are averages, but
most cases agree with the actual picture.


       1.Sostoyanie platform according to participants
questioning - somewhere between the heavy and
satisfactory (the survey was conducted by trehbalnoy
scale (1 - a heavy, 2 - satisfactory, 3 -
normal).


       2. Specific gravity spektrumistov in cities -
0.019% of the total population.


       3. Of these "advanced" (ie, having
access to new information, software) on average - 43%
(0.0081% of the population of the city). The following 
indicators calculated with respect to them. Those who are not 
included in the this group (57% of the total mass spektrumistov)

refer to the "lost" spektrumistam from
which 99% - realschiki. It can be concluded that
more than half the people are "in darkness" and
one foot almost fell out of the Spectrum,
either on the PC, or (even worse) at all.


       4. The degree of net realschikov among
advanced spektrumistov - 30% of net
emulyatorschikov - 15%, other 55% have access to
PC and Spectrum. We can conclude that
realschikov the total number of spektrumistov
70% of the population - 0.013%.


       5. Structure of advanced spektrumistov
specialization is the following:


       a.Softmeykery 7.5%

       b.Hudozhniki 2.4%

       v.Muzykanty 1.9%

       g.Razbirayutsya in iron 7.6%

       d.Softmeykery on PC 2.9%

       e.Razrabatyvayut iron 3.2%

       zh.Vypuskayut newspapers 4.5%


        This suggests that in reality
good platform employs 30% of all advanced
spektrumistov. Likewise, where about 2%, occurring in these
30% do really good work -
was seeking "lost", spread
software, hardware, even repairing computers. But
what do the remaining 70% of advanced,
unknown. Probably sitting in a tank or underground.


        From the foregoing it can be done
concluded that the ZX-Spectrum platform at the moment
crisis. All the fault of low activity
spektrumistov and their unwillingness to do anything for
to overcome this crisis, although his way out of
he has, and yet vital resources
platform will be enough to restore to
normal state and for further development.
