NEMO deserving of respect?
(C) Kolesnikov (KEEPER)
There is hardly a spektrumist not knowing NEMO or have not
heard about him ... Do not be mistaken in saying that he - the
most famous spektrumist Russia! It creates a sort of halo
around it, "an agitator, Gorlan, the ringleader," Guardian
platform until the last drop of blood a beating for its
consolidation. To some extent because it and is worth reading
his famous "Open Letter", imbued with the pathos of his ideas,
to understand his philosophy. But ... time goes, and NEMO is
not quite the NEMO, which we all know and remember from his
past articles, and cases :-(
It - smart people, even reading the ancient philosophers,
that our days are rare, you will agree ;-) I studied it with
interest "Open Letter" and found a lot of interesting,
informative and useful.
Our more or less familiarity with it began about
a year ago, when I sent NEMO answers to a questionnaire
distributed "Paragraph," and he replied (as I understand, in
gratitude for this) send me a price on its hardware and
software, and floppy disk with an "open letters. "As a man
honest and decent, I had to return him to it (and how else?),
and if so, I wrote him a letter in which to speculate about the
status of the Spectrum platform, lamented the high cost of Kaev
and asked him (what naivety!) to organize the production of
relatively cheap Pentagonov.V envelope with a floppy I put gold
piece (for postage) because he has spent on sending the
envelope.
In his reply, among other things, he scolded me for
this is because, it turns out, it was necessary to send more
and trademarks, and not money in an envelope. I'm even then
amazed: why? I'm not ordered nothing, in principle, I could do
not to send money, do not respond to this letter and leave the
floppy disk on your memory of NEMO? :-)
By April this year, I have fully "ripe" for sale
motherboard KAY, wrote him another letter, in which
now put stamps on 21 rubles, with a request ratio for April and
the timing of the order.
Also, I wanted to talk to him on the state of
Affairs on the platform ZX and its relation to the PC, which
had sharply negative. I'm not used to rely on someone else's
opinion, even such a famous person, like NEMO, I always try to
thoroughly analyze problems, to be as objective as possible
even to what is insignificant and unlikely to explore
question, even with such a party with which the majority had no
idea will consider it. Naturally, his thoughts on the subject,
and ZX PC I told him and expressed.
Just want to say that I do not pisishnik, alien to me on
this computer and his life without the Spectrum, I have no
idea, but I try to be objective. I want to give a few
paragraphs from my letters to the NEMO, and to agree with my
reasoning or not, it you have to decide:
... We should be flexible enough and developed the mind for
deep understanding of your articles in the press and the same
"OL". Student or PTU-Schnick hardly understand them, and it
once again will give you a reason call it a "sheep" or "goat"
:-) But he is not guilty! Well, Maybe he was still young, not
educated, and, perhaps wisely did not come out ... In short, he
- "sheep" for reasons beyond his control! He does not want them
to be, but you with your peremptoriness make it add-on ...
... Quote from your letter to me: "Understated price
expectations are produced on an industrial scale networks,
based on the general, the fundamental principle of their
operation, namely - "Free access and information." It is easy
to see that it - variation of the well-known in the past, the
motto "all take and share." That is, the networks postulated
responsibility within them people do not pay for information
and generally does not pay, where possible. To access the
network resources a person invited to solve the following
problem which confronts them network: "Either steal with us and
we recognize your own, or we obvoruem you !"...". (End quote).
But somebody has information online for free, so
why it does not take as well? And this proverb is: "give - take,
beat - run! ". And who would become to use the Internet if
even for the most basic information we would have to pay?
Indeed, the very time spent in the network is expensive, and it
flies hoo as quickly :-) If you read about what today's young
people chatting in chat rooms, just amazed how such a delusion
it could be interesting? Obviously, not very interesting
"conversation", but the process of sharing information (if you
can call it that). Well, of course, a dunce sitting in Moscow,
and another, for example, in Chelyabinsk, knock yourself the
keys and "talk" ... Already become sick from this kind of
communication! Maybe it was you had in mind in criticizing the
platform PC? But if you look deeper into this topic, there is a
plus - it is efficiency of communication and information
sharing! Almost never us it does not able to provide, although
communication by mail, ultimately, cheaper ...
... Too bad that you - the only remaining manufacturer
Hardware, you have no competition, market forces do not work and
something to me in your activities in this area does not suit!
I do not want and not going to write about the reasonableness
of prices KAY (not my business, I'm not doing them), maybe not
such they and high, but my friend Eugene Borisov from Staritsa
(publisher Journal Fantadrom, recently, by the way, has
released a second number) wrote to me about what was waiting
for back orders KAY-1024 collection year and two months! And
money, as it should have paid a deposit! In "Bird N: 4" also
wrote about a similar situation and criticize you for it. And
the reason is this, if I understand correctly, simplicity. The
fact that NEMO is not in vain to spend any penny, which, of
course, natural for the person involved industry (well, let the
semi-or even production). You will not be individually ordered
production of printed circuit boards, because it "costs money"
(your words), and suddenly you have them you order more than
required and they will lie dead load? The money will be
invested, but when they pay off? Money must turn and look back,
it's - the law of the market! Money must make money! In his
most recent "OL" You write that it is very few were ordered
Kaev, so production is almost :-( You should, obviously, do
this: collect the applications (and the money naturally), but
when you have a particular party, units 10, For example, you
order a manufacturer of printed circuit boards and ONLY THEN
embark on a direct production of motherboards boards. As a
producer and a person who lives it (in the literal sense of the
word) - you're right, as a fan and spektrumist SPECCY - think
no.
Imagine: the poor fellow user with great difficulty gained
money, sent them (c) NEMO, but all companies do not have and do
not have :-( He - call to Peter, and he was - not enough
applications for the manufacture of computers, Wait for more!
Yes, he does not want to wait for him, "Kay" needs! And do not
twist his head treacherous idea that "would be better if I
imagine pussy bought and worked on the emulator? do not you
think? Here I am, too, is now firmly decided to replace its
Scorpio KAY, has already begun to set aside money for the
order, but when I think I'll get it in the best case for the
New Year, so it becomes bad and of themselves appear in the
head bad thoughts in the address (C) NEMO with a predominance
of verbs and adjectives sexual nature ;-) ...
... Back to the last letter Ilyasova. I really liked his
figurative comparison 600-x "Mercy and computers that silly on
them, "haul the cottage potatoes, costs will be several once
more. In short, meaning that for most workers Spectrum
opportunities for SPECCY enough to perform almost all tasks.
It's all right, but that despite what goals pursues a man
buying his computer. Or maybe he is also typesetting and
perform some some accounting calculations, in his spare time
wants to rest, relax at the computer, play in any strategy
simulator, or "mochilku? And yet he wants on its competence to
hear music from a CD and watch movies! The money he has, why
blame him for wanting to play the game with graphics and sound?
Spectrum he does not give :-( And not just in "Stump" will
allow it to him, and with a clock speed of at least 300
Megagerts! Another thing, if he had the computer "roof rides",
but it - is a clinical case. There are already parents to their
offspring to control and prevent such things. So have at home
PC - so I do not think too much of a handicap.
I can only advise, you decide! But if you publicly reported
in the Spectrum media that the deadline for execution of orders
Kai is reduced to two months, I am confident that the orders
would be pushed so you would not be able to fulfill them! And
this is only possible if you do not wait for the accumulation
of certain number of orders, and will produce KAY "advance."
And the most I'll be the first customer! I (and so many
potential customers) are not satisfied with a situation where I
will send you a free small two thousand rubles, will order the
motherboard KAY and wait a year or more, and eventually get
their money back with a note "Is not a sufficient quantity of
orders." During this time, and money partially eaten inflation,
and for you to send them conversely, have to pay 6% of the
amount for postage. But this so unlikely, since if the man
ordered the complex, he will wait until the latter, at least
two years! ...
Here is a letter I sent to him in April. And then get from
NEMO pound package with a bunch of magazines, newspapers and
books. Home the letter was normal: "Dear Sergey!" to the middle
his appeal is interspersed with "you" and "you", then - a lot
insults and even threats! : -8
But who is this NEMO? Who gave him right now, so the latest
unfamiliar words to insult people? I'm in my letter
did write something similar? No! So what the hell there he
as the chain broke and the spray on a letter to the saliva,
diarrhea me abusive words? For what? For what I knew about the
methods it works like a pyramid "MMM" and others? Or for that
objective attitude towards the PC and even hated them online
find a positive quality - the rapid exchange of information?
Where did it so much intolerance of other people's opinions,
even wrong, in his view?
I do not pisishnik, I assure you, although the possibility
of communicating with a PC I have, but I never used it - is not
interesting to me! And how to work the internet, I have no
idea, and hardly differs site of charts. He somehow convinced
to the contrary, I zadolbal sermons about the dangers of
networking.
Yes, he's just an ordinary ham, not respecting anyone! After
for him spektrumisty - "cattle, goats, sheep, etc." ...
Read about it in the 6 th "Bird", where all of the NEMO
accurately written I even wondered what if my thoughts are
someone overheard!
Here he writes: "... You have already matured to the
psychiatric hospital, you are understand? Ie diagnosis
literally, literally! ". pisishniki A, which so much that a
stone throw - get into one of them, they also, of course, ripe
for the psychiatric hospital in the truest sense? And he, I
wonder, does not seem that our whole country - nuthouse? One
NEMO - saint, huh?
He did "put it on the money that is sent by the literature on
700 rubles 80 kopecks, and even added: "And God forbid, ugly, if
zazhmesh 80 cents!. "Why freak out?" I looked at myself in
the mirror - No, even cute!
NEMO, so perhaps a sober person would be so threatening?
Yes, I'll penny has not come - and what do you do to me? Well,
think himself! Unfortunately, I'm on such things are not
capable of that in our time rather a shortage than dignity.
That had to spend 45 rubles for the postal service by sending
him an unnecessary me literature :-( (Still, "for money", he
tripped me!).
And your prices? NEMO, OKS! Journal of the radio amateurs "-
9 cu (65 rubles 70 kopecks. Apiece !!!), well, okay, the book
is 15 USD = 110 USD, and the newspaper "Bird", all the rooms
which I have, incidentally, there is! - 3 ue, which means that
21 rubles 90 kopecks apiece! One might think you're the
newspaper he published ... Yes, the highest price for it, even
if ordered from Cusick, 12 rubles!
Did I look like an idiot who can lay out a bunch of
money for something that did not order? Imposition of their
goods and services consumer in accordance with the law on
consumer protection unacceptable, but NEMO does not care! He
should by all means get money!
Well, what other adjectives can then be for him to pick up?
Speculators!
I'm not talking about his oft-cited factor that
growing steadily at 0.1 per month, which means higher prices
Kaya monthly $ 100 :-( And no explanation why. A
because the cost of collecting Kaya has already reached 7,300
rubles in April. Soon it will become more expensive Pentium ;-)
my questions are not Nemo responded, I realized it is clear
that I was paying on his terms not to buy I will. Encourage the
speculators? No! And you ought to have found a way to earn -
plant on literature! As they say, plowing it into the door, so
he is out the window! ..
If NEMO so worried about the platform ZX, and sincerely
worried, he would not have so much to increase the value and
date of manufacture of computers. And the main thing - it's
time! In the 5 th "Bird" is a quote from NEMO, where he speaks
about this: ... "brainwashing is now more important than the
performance of my obligations to the Roman. If the platform
will collapse, the novel simply throws a computer, deciding
that case to a lack of performance ... (End quote). And I'm
sure that the platform has never crash! And the credit for this
will not NEMO, and those people who are more makes less and
pulls on his mission to rescue platform. These are the people
who are without hope of reward issue "Passage," "bird",
"IzhNEWS", but what's there to list, many of them, such people!
They like the Spectrum, and they spend it all his free time,
and the platform rests on them, rather than sermons, the NEMO!
Even if I do there will be no friend spektrumista, even if,
God forbid, will cease to go electronic and printing of the
newspaper, I do not throw your PC and never for anything while
it works! For my purposes it will serve! But if breaks, repair
it has to be nowhere, then we need buy "stump" cheaper and work
in the emulator, as it is sick and no nasty :-(
And what would you do? At the NEMO hope there is absolutely
no, we are with him now at loggerheads ;-) "Sprinter" I,
frankly, feared, and the price had I not afford it :-( There is
no alternative, that's the trouble! spektrumistom But I will
stay forever, will be Do I have a Spectrum emulator or will be,
I am sure! And I am sure in the fact that so many people
working on the Spectrum platform, are forced to use an emulator
on a PC, since buy Spectrum, they can not carry on the above
reasons. A "thank you" for this they can tell Mr. NEMO and his
policies!
I can imagine what the reaction NEMO follow this my
Article vplod to smear and nechistotatami that NEMO
Especially likes to do in their publications. Come on! I forgive
you for your letter, NEMO, and God will judge you for your
business affairs and Your attitude toward people! I'll no
longer be respected, but as will be treat others - let them
think for yourself.
