This is the first article, which opened pybriky. Further,
all the articles went under pybrikoy "rest room 8 bits. Of
course, the article has several inaccuracies, preyvelicheny.
For example, "Raven Black 2" is still not ready bydet cost more
money Sprinter ykazana only for maternal fees, etc. Of course,
you will notice srazy them all, but man, Far from Spektryma, no.

Rest room 66 MHz / Feedback
Not so easy in this world. It turns out that in our city
People polzyyutsya computer not only on the platform of IBM PC
or Macintosh. Remember these computers as ZX-Spectrum? Yes, yes,
namely the one that finally arrived was covered with a thick
layer of dust on the farthest shelf. So. It turns out, y
syschestvyyut us not only fans of this single platform, even
the rest room syschestvyet "8 bits" from Chairman of the rest
room in which the 66 MHz it is an interesting suggestion - open
novyyu pybriky - which we ydovolstviem accept. We can only hope
that this letter pyblikatsiey all will not end. Bydem forward
to continuing ...

Hello club66mhz,
... I'm very unpleasant to hear the right and left only a PC
platform, and only occasionally in some places about leaks
Macs, and even then most often in the form of advertising iMac.
What is it in Nature does not syschestvyet drygih computing
platforms? Today abbreviatyra PC for many has become synonymous
with the word "computer". A Moreover, apart from the PC and Mac
in the world, and y our country, specifically, zhivyt and
develop representatives drygih computer families. For example,
Amiga. Many of computers in this class have never have not
heard, and those who have heard, are divided into two group ':
those who consider Amigy powerful graphical workstations (100%
authentic info: "Babylon-5 was made using the Amigo) and those
who thinks Amigy igryshkoy type Spektryma (here finally arrived
hurt and for Amigy, and for himself Spektrym). Wrong Neither
drygie. Amiga - It is the same computer as everyone else, he
can do All the same, and that PC, as Macs, it's just another
computer. On This I zakonchy temy alternative computer
platforms and vplotnyyu pereydy k Spektrymy.
Many, very many people know the ZX-Spectrum. This radyet.
But the memory of those who still remember, Speccy and stayed
with igryshkoy 48 kilobytes of RAM and a tape recorder as an
external drive. But even in such konfigyratsii it was a dream
for many more any nibyd five years ago. Then Spektrym sold
everywhere where possible, and programs on tapes to be sold
nemy chyt whether not prodyktovyh stores. They enjoyed it
ydovletvoryal many. But here came to gaming, then the PC has
become more or less dostypen costs (have to write off computers
based on the i80386, i80486). Spektrym been forgotten. But,
fortunately, not all. He nikyda not going away, all the while
he lived and grew. Yes, yes, it is developed. Developed as the
computer itself (I mean vidy in hardware) and yroven
programming. If you look at what is written under Spektrym
today, we just do not believe that it is physically possible to
Spektryme. I once showed svoemy drygy, last spektrymisty, video
Spektryme. On what he told me that if emy earlier said that it
possible to Spektryme, he would have been willing to bet $ 200,
it is not possible, and would have lost. Today Spektrym got
everything you need: hard drive, extra memory, a modem
etc. Although, in my opinion, this Spektrym - a 128K + FDD +
myz.soprotsessor (possibly + modem). This is konfigyratsiya
under kotoryyu written (not written, namely written today,
right now!) software on the Speccy. It is a pity that now, when
the dollar is so skaknyl and PC = PC (for many, see above)
became nedostypen bolshinstvy people postypayut sledyyuschim
follows: 1) remain in their dreams, and 2) pokypayut b / y 486,
386 and so on; 3) pokypayut Sony PS, SEGA, SNES, NES (aka
Dandy), etc. Part people from the first category (which nyzhen
computer rather than a slot machine) can help Spektrym:
programming, drawing, myzitsirovanie, typing, games, etc. etc.
Many still mahnyt pykoy Spektrym on, say it is still igryshka.
And I do not soglashys. Maybe for someone and igryshka, but not
for me and my minded. It may seem that I lagged behind
life and I do not know what a modern computer. Razocharyyu,
slezhy for computer life closely (y me home but Spektryma, a PC
350MHz c 64Mb, etc. with a color printer and scanner) and not
only for yspehami MS. The second category of citizens mogy
posochyvstvovat only if the owners of fast fours chyvstvyyut
themselves not as yscherbnymi, holders of triples and the more
pairs yzh accurately. They still use the programs past years
and swallow slyuny, looking at modern software for the PC. Hy,
and a third category of people is clearly wrong. Igrovyyu
console computer at all desire can not be named.
Now on our klybe. We're going to 6 years has finally
arrived. Composition klyba over the years has changed, but I
stand y the very beginning. We call a klybom, though going in
the open air (so far, in this issue is the shift). Permanent
members of not more than 20 people. Age and occupation were
very different: 16-40 years, schoolchildren, stydenty-workers
slyzhaschie. Almost all have only a ZX-Spectrum and This
dovolstvyyutsya to 100%. Jobs klybe underway and is now We will
advance in order to bring together all spektrymistov city of
Vladivostok and Primorsky Krai ... People come to us with
ydivleniem yznayut that Spektrym still alive and they do not
recent users Spektryma what they were almost ybezhdeny 100%. In
the near future klyba - the creation of urban network based on
the ZX-Spectrum. Such a network has finally arrived
syschestvyet in several cities in our country. Its members have
no restrictions polzyyutsya FIDOnet and part (e-mail) -
InterNet. By slovy say now parallel to the Czech Republic and
Russia vedytsya work polnotsennomy vyvody Spektryma Internet -
TCP / IP has finally arrived ready. And in Ukraine to Spektrymy
Voodoo connect it too to slovy.
Here are the positive moments Spektryma in my opinion:
1. Spektrym - a full-fledged computer.
2. Spektrym dostypen all, even the most modern and feature-rich
Spektrym 1999 vypyska worth $ 90, for the sake of his privozhy

3. A large number of dostypnogo software.
For example, a licensed copy of the game "Black Crow II",
which will be released in a month and is written without a
break has finally arrived nearly a year, bydet cost in
Vladivostok, about 50 pybley. For information: game genre -
real-time strategy, reminiscent of WarCraft on the PC. Quality
of the writing is not berys compare with any program on the PC.
Generally on Spektryme all written with great love and is
calculated every byte and every clock cycle. There are many
drygih license prodyktov on Spektrym thanks to our relations
with all spektrymovskim world.
4. Ease of deployment, dryzhestvennost etc. etc.
5. At Spektryme man odinochky can make something of themselves,
may realize.
I could write a very, very much about Spektryme, but not
I know bydet it interesting to read not spektrymisty. Poetomy I
prervys skazhy and concluded that we were going every Sunday at
12.00 for a cinema of "Iskra".
Best regards,
Stanislav.
