Subj: hello
Hi, Dima!
Somehow, Dima Bystrov wrote Alexander Seleznev:
DB> How's the Polesie? ;)
The project is frozen for an indefinite period. Language
does not turn to say "forever". Let it be "better times",
according to At least, not so painful. Links to me was not just
a product of creativity. It's like losing your child ...
Although I am glad that someone else is interested. So
it's not for nothing has worked ...:)
Reasons that prompted me to stop publication of a
newspaper, a lot. Not the least of them was the realization
futility of the platform Zx-Spectrum, no matter how painful to
admit it. In addition, new Work is entirely related to the PC
(despite the fact that I am a biologist by training), left
little free time. Here added breaking my Spectrum (the last two
years I have sat exclusively in the emulator), narrowing the
information field, because exodus Gomel user platform. Few
knows that at the time of issue 18 of "Polesie" live
spektrumistov Gomel almost no (except for 4-5 people, the main
activity of which was a joint drinking vodka). Writing was not
about anything, with the role of herald local news excels at
"leaf".
The final decision to freeze the paper I have matured
after visiting the CC01. What I saw at the party, only
confirmed thought that the Spectrum finally exhausted,
degenerating into something amorphous, the very existence and
whose name is only supported virtually no more. Each for
himself is free to determine beginning of the end. In my
opinion, the final collapse came after the failure of Fame
Mednonogova complete "black raven-2. With this game very many,
if not the vast majority of high hopes, the ability to breathe
new life into the Spectrum, to attract young blood. Dream "and
we have our StarCraft", was ruthlessly rastoptannoy.Imenno then
began the mass exodus of recent users. And they were followed
by Harder, traders, those who All this time, somehow managed to
feed on the offspring of Sir Clive. More enterprising and
unscrupulous dumped long ago realized the futility of this
platform.
By the way, by chance it happened or not, but almost
simultaneously with "Polesie" stopped out many other
publications. For example, Lviv "Optron" Samara "BornDead", our
Belarusian "Echo", etc. Why did it happen? Apparently the
authors saw what I saw. Of course, one can not discount
Accounts just tired, lazy, pofigizm, switching to another form
activities. Everyone can name their own reasons, but for the
most part, it's just cause ...
Let us ask ourselves the question: "Do we need a general,
now Spectrum numerous electronic edition?" Someone quickly
answered, "Yes!" And will be wrong. Let us recall the 1995-1996
year, when Spectrum experienced its second birth, and the
information field have been all-but Inforkom with its
ZX-Review, yes spectrophone (the latter I still think the best
electronic magazine). And everyone was happy, all missing
information. Letters to the Editor Inforkoma Stepan and flowed
a river. Remember, with which we opened a sinking for
themselves, each new room and peruse these barely visible lines
of small print, so even on a bad monitor. Nektotorye Articles
and phrases from the then periodicals I personally remember by
heart. Look at what is happening now. The content of the
so-called "newspapers" like the contents of a slop pail.
Endless debate and obsasyvaniya A pachimu Crutes sceners women
do not give? "," Who how many hours on pointovke drunk than
belched, "the rules of endless festivals (read more
pointovok-buhalok) in the successful conduct of which they do
not believe even their authors ... feedback from readers there
is little, she did not need at such a presentation of the
material. What can an ordinary programmer to think from the
outside, Intrigued by the enigmatic phrase "Speccy - Rulez!" in
a tirlayne companion and sent to zx.da.ru, where his services
all of the above. He just decides for himself in the best case
that spektrumisty - a gathering of unsound mind, drunken
impotent. A Spectrum - their tool for self-satisfaction.
I'm leading up to the fact that one normal edition in the
current environment for Spectrum is much better than a dozen
like these flawed. Good edition is still out, though very
rarely. It is therefore not worry that "Polesie" zagnulos.Svoyu
task at a time it had complied. Now let keep younger, less
pessimistic, but at least we fans ZX. Unite create. Perhaps you
can do much more than us.
I continue to follow the life of Zx-Spectrum, I read both
fidokonferentsii and all made on the Speccy periodicals. At
work the table of my third stump is icon Unreal Emulator, next
to AY-Player with an impressive playlist. Nearly eight years
devoted This hobby impact. But do creative work on this
platform, I'm hardly going to continue.
I wish all the remaining Speccy fan of healthy optimism
neostyvayuschih and creative impulses.:) God be with you the
spirit of the great Sir Clive Sinclair.
Quasar.
ps: post can go anywhere without restriction, published in
any publications.
C Regards, Quasar.
--- Speccy Forever!
I can with my hand just to add -
No matter what electronic newspapers were closed often
enough and uniformly throughout the history of their existence.
And it is not in that really does not care about StarCraft
spektrumistu with which he, incidentally, has never
encountered. You can even forget that Spectrum and the
Internet, their culture and people are actually slightly
svazany among themselves. Here filosofiya.Chelovek sees what he
wants see. Facts are fitted to the point of view.
