Forced me to sit at the keyboard
my old "Pentagon," some
events, strongly made me angry. Begin
in order: a tradition has become a tradition to scold
"Pentagon" because of incompatibility with corporate SPECCY and
praise others cars (basically, Scorpion, and KAY / that
almost the same thing '). Guys, nothing you do it.
In my opinion, much better than fifteen hundred clock cycles
more than five or six thousand less. This I mean that in the
ZX-Revue 7-8/96 called for the users of non-Scorpion'ov alter
its components under this wheelbarrow. Even schemes have been
brought. For
Why, they ask, brewing remake?
Yes to install ProfPZU. And then there is
question: but what for? Writes

could connect to your component any Scorpion'ov-parameter Soup:
iBM claves, mouse, IDE screws and stuff. (It would be better
thought of as a ZIP-drive prisobachit, would have been more
confusing.)
ADV: There is an opinion that hanging on
SPECCY all such widgets makes it
non-Spectrum'om. What Spectrum - a 128K
Memory + AY + drive. And how to hang on
him different bells and whistles - better to buy a cool comp,
for example, AMIGA :-).
In addition, we must ask:
you on their "Scorpio" use all
opportunities provided by the shadow ROM
(Meaning the system restarts)? Wash, nobody uses (I, anyway,
this is not heard). Still, the They said coefficient adaptation
is needed to work you DOS (not TR-DOS) and predict for this role
iS-DOS. No, against the iS-DOS'a I do
(Almost) do not have, but as upon OS on my computer, I would
not want to see her. (That's really unfortunate lapped up the
idea with MSDOS.) Oh, and that all of this PC are worn? iBM
Claudia mesh (uncomfortable to work under SPECCY on iBM clave,
and standard, they have no (and then will explain what I mean).
Well, I certainly understand that SPECCY memory fountain and
had to be somehow the whole thing in 48 kilo stuff. But
citizens are not the same. Take, for example, an old RT-11, The
first release of which was somewhere in 1971 or 1972. Hand on
heart I can say that it is much better and wiser than MS-DOS.
The very core of the system takes only 2K, but everything else
is done through the driver. And so it remained until
date (the last version that I saw was 5.4 in 1992). This
easy to install drivers I have not seen
nowhere. Should be put, or to include in the active
tively state driver: give the command
"LOAD imya_fayla_drayvera" or "SET name
Driver ON "and all" have nothing else: no rebooting companies
or other distortions. Do not you need me more than the driver -
give the command "UNLOAD ..." or "SET ... OFF ", and all memory
is returned to the system, vector exempt, etc. And in the
iS-DOS'e I could not remove a resident from memory (RT-11 all
loaded drivers resident). A iS-DOS we are actively trying to
navyalit gentlemen Nemo and zone. This is not assaults, just
make me sick of everything, especially phrases such as "Foo!
BASIC - it lamerstvo" or the like. This applies to the PC.
How many times have I watched as the new students,
coming from the rich (the past) school
turned up his nose from UKNC - ... and monitors
not colored, and there are no games (or rather, I did not set),
and in general, it is time to dump them. What, to the devil,
they are entitled to so argue. They do not work either so or to
another (I mean PC). After all, if you look for
Games, at the same SEGA ACTION-game we
Nogo is steeper than the IBM PC. And as
BASIC'a, well, I do not understand what he is not pleased
(Especially iBM'skim "developers"), what the hell, the
difference between what the writing program. For me personally,
no. What will easier to implement the task on and will be done,
at least in Chinese :-). Here you've probably read and think:
"Well Sasha for this man, all he does not like at all ever
comes over. "Yes, I Lately nothing like it. Now, the question
of why I still started write this article. And then, dear
readers, you to think a bit about the future. The future of
your SPECCY, your future. It is time to themselves to take
matters into their own hands and to deter Russia from Microsoft
and clones IBM PC (even on the same pisyukah:-o). Do you think
will not work? Yet how it will! Our programmers have been and
remain the best in the world, and that there would not say
Reverend Baths that the Russian-language programmer is more
difficult to write programs and the quality of them worse. We
can zatk nut for the belt all and all, but ... not
want. This, incidentally, is not Hochma. You know
who mainly wrote in Russia Program
for the PC? Correctly, students and alumni
faculties, where there was a computer. Professional programmers
(especially the issues of the past few years) do anything, but
just do not work in the profession. I have a friend, it's quite
cool and SPECCY, and on the PC, but apart from me and
a very narrow circle of acquaintances of his work
nobody saw. He could do much
but it does not, and why? And because it is
already done by someone, but do have to make again, he's
already broke, although he may make steeper. It turns out that
Russian computer advances are moving people who are not (with
rare exceptions) professionals.
Now one more question: at what the market work? With
Spectrum'om here all clear, but with the PC ... Somehow
almost everyone is trying to break into the West.
What for us that the West has surrendered? They and
so all in bulk. It would be better to think like
in their country the normal progress
programs do. Yes, and at the same time do not forget
a monument to the hackers. I can
ask: "what does all this nonsense
has to Spectrum'u? "Yes, no. Just
tired of seeing journals that are similar to collections of
"best game" plus "Secrets ZX". After all, what an electronic
journal does not run, do you the same thing: a description of
games, information on programming techniques
Hardware, from time to time or short story
some funny text, advertising and
answers to readers' letters. You are all
familiar, does not it? Sometimes, though,
there is some nonsense like that,
that you are reading. And then I met
its just a ZX-Format'e (like Captain
NEMO is the case) or in native Adventurer'e
(There could be delirious I). The question is, why in the
computer publications to write about abstract topics? Have you
read KompyuTerru (preferably on a regular basis)? So there is
sometimes a meet ... And it looks cool.
Frankly, I do not really our magazine
like. No, of course, a sense of pride
wakes up when the letters come from
all over the country and because of the near abroad. But as you
look at the log, so immediately think something is not that, not
so. What is necessary - not to think. It is possible,
Of course, to paint, what would he like to see in the ideal
magazine, but the thoughts scatter and did not know what you
want. Interface like a beautiful and convenient, but
so that the other was not like this (and all
conversations about contemporary slip interface - it's garbage,
not that he's modern, and not very comfortable), more
information, more active readers and still do not know that.
