 For the fourth time in Rostov festival of computer art 
, and Again we regret to state the following: . One gets the impression that any criticism, 
even the most objective, not able to get the organizers to 
think about what our the city exists on a permanent basis

Festival of the masshtaba.No in this case is not size matters. 
That completely absent in the  because it is

semblance of positing such an event, the atmosphere, but in no 
way affected the quality of the event. A

participants in the audience (at the time of the festival

not correspond to the level of claims. Paradoxically, it is a 
fact. 

    The main trouble  is
its own nominations. Just a few years
ago it was possible to sigh with delight about the fact that

possibility of the most modern kompyuterov.No ZX Spectrum! The 
only justification - nostalgia. Longing for departed childhood. 
The same can be said and about the other nominations, not 
related to modern PC.


   But if only the organizers were to blame for the failure of 
his brainchild. Thus, the authors graphic projects do not go 
beyond hackneyed cliches, and if they are trying to create 
something original, just remember the phrase <would be better, 
it turned out as always>. Somewhat more interesting was

to harness the power of available technology. And At least not 
right to talk about that the ZX Spectrum - a classic that

can show how people know how to program. Yes, even in a

more interesting demo.
