MS bought an Amiga 600, and SVV also uses an Amiga. Spider works, but he rarely uses the Spectrum.
The author congratulates him on his 21st birthday on behalf of himself and several other friends—Spider, SVV, and MS. He apologizes for wanting to attach a bunch of photos but lost the negatives.
He shares some news: he's back from Abkhazia and hasn't programmed anything for three months—his time is constantly consumed by work, travel, and girls. His friends aren't coding much either; they've all switched to Amigas. He returns several Spectrum game and magazine discs to Vova. He asks him to write a biography for a magazine—editor Danila Bayanov is looking for material.

Viator profiles RUSH — an association of demoscene groups from Ukraine and Belarus
Viator from AVALON/RUSH talks about RUSH — an association of demoscene groups from Ukraine and Belarus — and his connections within the scene. Two major projects are in the pipeline: the game ROBOJOR 4, featuring digital effects and Quadra AY support, and a brand-new graphics editor for Speccy, which is set to replace ArtStudio. The editor is already partially complete: a windowed interface, MAGNIFY and SHAPES modes, 3D functions, and animation directly within the editor. Along the way, he criticises VBI’s work — advising them to release less and focus more on quality, and offering to help with graphics, but only for a strong project.

Lots of groups are writing great software, everyone’s getting to grips with the Amiga, and they’re getting ready for the new FUNTOP’98 competition!
Viator from the AVALON/RUSH/ASM group writes to his colleague VBI in December 1997. The long silence was due to work on the ‘Hallucinations in Opera’ demo for the ZX Spectrum, which is finally ready. Things are buzzing on the scene: groups are writing software, FUNTOP'98 is coming up, and there are fresh demos and discs to swap. He’s getting to grips with the Amiga alongside the Spectrum, and VBI invites him to join the group. On the envelope is an explanation of why the parcel was returned: an error in the postal address.
