... Spectrum ZX - Honor and conscience of our epoch ...
Stronghold of the city on the Neva River in the city on the
river called by the name of this city. There are not many, but
they will hold up the latter and do not throw your favorite ZS
Scorpions 256 TM in the trash until they break down, but this
will never happen! Not wait!
The first glitch of DOS'a
Despair alternated with quiet hysteria. Machine
zaglyuchila. Flew. Crashed. And died. Died, all new
articles, emails, own and acquired
program, scanned photos and unique musical
creation. On the recovery of permanently lost and out of the
question could not. But waiting for work, it was necessary to
urgently find buttons and their reap, reap, reap ...
Sad necessity forced to examine the interior
grandmother's chest, and maybe where stray "Underwood." Result
exceeded all expectations not any typewriter started
century, and quite a decent computer on behalf of the ZX
Sinclair Spectrum waiting around the corner from
grohnuvshegosya Pizhona'75!
Stir up a piece of metal was a couple of trivia.
Woke up at the same time nostalgic memories of the days
when the word "computer" means exclusively
Spectrum. "Well, the owner Pentium'a think that this is a
trash? And how can we discuss anything should save my
Beloved! "It's even possible. Very interesting.
Sisopka SPb ZXNet
A hammer blow on the head: it turns out, in St. Petersburg
there something called "SPb ZXNet". That is, a network of
computers ZX Spectrum. Network? That is, complex computer
systems? Nonsense some. Spectrum is the same stuff, coffee
maker, no player auto reverse. Well, face it. Go to "sisopku"
(get-together system operator) network SPb ZXNet and take a
floppy disk? Well Why is it on Spectrum'e have the drive? Maybe
he still Winchester is? And the CDROM? And the modem for 28
000? And the Internet can get out? Haha!
After some three o'clock somewhere fun diminished. Because
I like the typical user to unobtrusively right brains. All
above was more than possible, and even Internet
and FIDO, it appears, for "spektrumistov" are readily
available. Not Speaking about his own network SPb ZXNet.
Network in which at least 200 users and 30 stations
has its own charter and Board. Do not believe me check fidoshny
address 2:5030 / 529.13. Think of a computer, which is sort of
like long-buried, not only alive, but also allows its
users actively communicate with a modem! Read the news
computer games, new "glands" of programming.
Yes, and "for life" deal, too, is not forbidden:)
In network spektrumistov is even a e-newspaper
ZXNews serious venture with the respected editor of the Jura.
From it and taken a few quotes: The people at Computer Festival
Enlight'97 speaks about Spectrum'e.
I am here only to once again show
how disgusting that Spectrum, and with each minute my confidence
increases ... This Spectrum??? And I thought Amiga ... Cool!
Can someone else writes something on Spectrum'e? Am I
dreaming? I then I think we will watch the program six years
ago, when I myself was still a Spectrum ...
Scorpion ZS with the engine 256Kb
Here it is, "he who writes: Alexander Mayorov. One of the
founders of the network, its brain. An original: "If it were not
He does not know how at all ... "
[?] - What programs I had to write?
[!] - Terminalka, so the program works with a modem
Support server module. Wrote different versions, with different
opportunities.
[?] - Assembly language?
[!] - Yes, Spectrum'e only AS can write
effectively. Because in other languages, such as Basic,
slowly. At Spectrum'e is the C compiler, but it
inhuman. To put it in assembler, and do not suffer.
[?] - Show me the modem!
[!] - Why, this little box. (A box is a pile of
glands is the computer itself inside out:))
[?] - So small??
[!] - Yes, a little. It is inserted into the computer, and
to him supplied telephone line.
[?] - And now you can go somewhere to call? Ringing.
Downloading files news, mail program. Even the weather
information and the dollar. "Talk" with the owner of the
station. Impression like a tricycle develop speed
racing car. Here the conversation was joined by another
Founder Alexei Mikhailov, a member of the Network. How is it
thought emerged that need to create a network?
[!] - Is a difficult question. We had modems, and networks
were not. Could connect directly, but to some people
can communicate at the same time this was not. And so once it
itself has come. First there was the two stations, one 6.5 users
exchange programs, texts. Same as now
but it was just beginning, has not yet been established some
standards.
[?] - What is the age of the network?
[!] - According to surveys, the average age of 18-19 years.
But, for example, at my station was the 12-year-old man. 12
years old guy, all OK, worked with the modem, without any
problems!
[?] - It turns out that it all starts at school?
[!] - Yes. Here we have, for example, was as follows: three
classes of Four were Spectrum'y. The rest simply nothing there.
Then if there is a home machine Spectrum.
[?] - Readily believe in themselves and know ...
[!] - PC suxx, Spectrum is rulez!
[?] - Spectrum and PC as they get along?
[!] - Every computer is good own way: that the PC that
Spectrum. Yes, for PC and graphics are better and the music
better. But the Spectrum ... In It is something special. I
throw it in the near future not going, especially because
people still there, and I'm not alone in this case. My house is
worth two computers. On a large table of MS on a smaller table
- Spectrum. This is not to suggest that MS better, and Spectrum
worse it can not be compared with each other. Spectrum for the
soul basically. And to communicate. Spectrum is computer mostly
for poor people. Spektrumistov now holds that they can not go
and buy a Pentium. Some have a PC and Spectrum'e work. For
example, the PC is home and work for the benefit of the network.
[?] - And if you do not touch the network why this car?
[!] - Well, basically, like any other computer, it is
necessary to a person could develop further. Well, here I am,
for example, currently a diploma it gained normal! This machine
is used and the cable television for advertising. Again,
statistics, analysis, and the other mathematics everywhere
needed.
[?] - Spectrum and PC compatible by default?
[!] - No, there are special programs. They are written by
people from which was formerly Spectrum, and then they went to
the MS. PrizaDOOMavshiesya.
[?] - Still mostly people play?
[!] - Yes. Moreover, the very idea of Spectrum games no
PC is not bypass. According to the chart, yes, but in theory,
on a plot no. Very a lot of puzzle games is much higher than
for IBM. There, almost all Shoot-ubivalki.
<...>
Showed me Spectrum'e and DOOM, and Prince of Persia is very
adequately made toys. Demonstrated and the "demo"
movies whose sole purpose is self-affirmation
programmer. Spinning cubes, some impossible color
transitions, amazing music. Here it's not just me, but many
of those present had to ask: "How is it done?"
The standard answer is "Math"! (Useful science is:))
One car = one cake.
Exact equality, according to Boris Sokolov, also a member
of the Council Network. Spectrum can be obtained as a gift,
symbolically exchanged for a cake, find the old piece of iron
on the balcony. Well, buy, of course, also be on the market in
Avtovo. Ibid meet and all of the above personality and a lot
more people who are not averse to meet you and enter into the
circle users SPb ZXNet.
[?] - Is it worth it?
[!] - Well, there could be let to impose their views: half
of IBM users a year or two would not hurt to tinker with the
Speccy and Then, instead of useless idle talk about the latest
technologies, you see, and would be unhappy to hear the teacher
in the classroom meaningful questions from ex-"cool", who can
not now even unzip the file : (And in the end, especially for
the owners of Spectrum is another quote from ZXNews:
"And do not be ashamed of what you are working on Spectrum'e
on the contrary! All RS'shniki just fall, when they hear that
the networks can and Spectrum'e climb!
Falls with a computer, Author.
In conclusion ...
MOUSE RUN, tail waved ...
(Imitation Grigory Oster)
If suddenly your car
Not working as it should,
Then on the motherboard
Strongly knock with his fist.
Will not help beat with a sledgehammer,
Give his foot on the monitor ...
Explain later authorities:
"She first started!"
If suddenly your computer
Leaked vicious virus
Not Lechi his Lozinsky:
The virus also wants to live!
Septic Program
Scattered on BBS'am,
And you are your colleagues
Will often recall.
Indeed, useful tips
