There is an opinion ...
(C) Mad Killer/PG/P7S
Quite often think how to start
article, and apparently the correct answer
there - it all depends on my mood, which
currently inherent in you. My mood now, medium-neutral, and
therefore I will write slowly, slowly, try to
deliver to you, dear readers, a few
minutes pleasantly spent time. In fact, it is doubly pleased
that this material is written for their own, hopefully in the
future of popular and high-quality electronic publication
"3Bit".
For a start I would like to make havoc little jungle of his
memory and recall it the time when I wrote all sorts of
programs you need and not much, but their flow was significant.
Today, the situation is not so hot - 90% of the people is gone.
Someone at the plant, such as, Mr.Gluck, who is on the PC -
they are the majority, and we are with you, dear readers, all in
the same and all in the same place - on the most optimum
platform-ZX, and it seems to me those Who is left to be on Spec
before the end of this sure!
I want you a little (maybe not all) deal a body blow to some
conjecture that occurred in my head more than a year ago, and
this discovery put me in the very deep pool analysis and
discussion on this topic, although Stop all poporyadku.
In my old property spektrumista
takes place for the selection of Revyushek 94-96
years. and from time to time I enjoy sake, I read again and
again, articles, forums and just do all the stuff. And again
for the umpteenth time rasskryvaya Revue, analyzing the
position of the Spectrum at the moment, paying attention to
everything that they write the authors, editors, advertising
(an important point ... "Why?" - the reader will ask. Wait a
minute, about this below), met with interesting
features, and then the conclusions, respectively. Interesting
article in S. Simonovic binder for 1994 (numbers do not exactly
remember) a simple and sonorous title of "Amiga vs
PC ", in which he tries to solve a relaxed form of a dilemma
for readers of the magazine - which platform is better, always
inclining the reader in the form of psevdodialogovoy to IBM'u.
And in the end, like a bolt Sky, the interview! Yes, not easy,
but with by Sir Clive Sinclair! Ordinary sinklerist, which is
the and your humble servant, resignedly accepts words so
famous, is truly a grand personality and the way each
spektrumistu, the person at face value. And his mouth agape,
swallow the bait, so professionally prepared. By the way, there
is speculation that the above mentioned S. Simonovic
studied psychology and technology to "wash
Brain simple townsfolk. I still do not
understand where I'm going with this? Well then you have not
read that article, I highly recommend;)))
In short, the meaning of the phrase of Sir Clive Sinclair
so: PC and only PC! Well, if the authority
said, so will need to take the necessary MS. You do not think I
did not like the Amiga, no. Just trying to understand why A
huge army spektrumistov gone, but will not sad about, we will
continue further. And then this is the case. The journal shaft
advertising about their RS'shny made by Inforcom
magazine, which he is a good yes rasprekrasny,
how many interesting articles and demos
etc.
Itself nprashivaetsya question: fuck
my true Aryan, "Oh, bother fucking spektrumistu this ad? So we
are getting closer come to the point, to what I wanted
tell you, dear reader. Not made a vile editor Revyushki with
readers initially, without spektrumista as the formation of the
individual needs no in the Amiga or the PiSyuke? Question is
the more curious, so boleeb assuming that on the basis
spektrumistov company currently generates an extensive line of
potential buyers they are even the same product. Here it is,
the root of evil! Initially, readers are pushing to the
conclusion that Speck is nothing otherwise, as a springboard to
a more powerful platform. Not because it was necessary to
create the mood of the masses, not so.
It was necessary to specify a different rhythm beats
hearts, the vast majority of young
and, naturally, more vospriimchevyh minds
Army Fan ZX. It was necessary to put
to preserve and build capacity,
not invent the "children's computer" and other Lajoux. So to
summarize all the above what was said.
Inforkom made an enormous contribution to the development
ZX, but at the same time, realizing that the money
much on sinkleristah not work, started slowly and steadily pull
spektrumistov at Bole lucrative platform for PC, where more
money and the market is not busy.
My rasuzhdeniya are not true infallible. Maybe someone does
not agree with me, but I think so, but not otherwise. Here,
like, the most important and napisa, and there is talk
whatnot. Let's make a decision and
not repeat the mistakes of the past. Nemo was writing (if
anyone knows, the firm Nemo ceased to exist. Producers No iron,
this was the last. We are left with five years of service life
of old cars, and then either emulsion or ...), that to the
union, the close relationship between users ZX, otherwise -
"death" of loneliness and lack of demand. With this
to have been created and our association
Patriots, so as not to be alone with my pile of discs and
nedopisanyh projects. So, if you wish, then grace
please! Entrance is free to all normal people, and know that
time is against us! Do not be lazy, write to the log even though
anyone of us and will help you. You will become
part of the wonderful world of communication and
co-creation. And creativity - it's
a very pleasant thing, gentlemen, comrades.

From the Editor: Yeah, takya our lives are catchy;) and shock
should not expect just in front.
As for leaving 90% with spektrumistov
Speccy, then in my opinion these words of Sir
Clive Sinclair that PC rulez - only
a small part of what led a massive
outcome. I now believe that the situation looks a little
different. Yes, there was a time when prices of PCs have become
more or less accessible, but and toys on it better than the
Speccy. A people on the Spectrum, as is known, lives
effortlessly, so the lion's share of the same
people experienced PTs'shnogo game drug. I myself know how hard
it is to do something standing on the computer, and especially
on Speccy, After six months, "strumming" on IBM'e. But I
it passed and is now trying to combine all
these lessons. Yes, there is nothing you can do, and I love to
play with toys!
Conclusion: whether to remain on the platform and do
something useful and worthwhile - you decide for yourself. I
only say that at Speccy life interesting. Where do you even
find a bunch of boys, with common interests and ready to help
you in both word and deed? Speccy together! There are no lies,
betrayal and cynicism, as it does on the commercial platforms,
for example, at the same HRC ...
With best wishes, Cooper/RSM/P7S
