So I stand!

Hi, Superfan Spectrum!
Hear Sim speech, and how would they not show you at first sight
utopian, have the courage to tell myself that otherwise given.
In our universe everything is arranged in such a way that only
live that has the strength to live, what have meaning and what
develops. Torpor and pessimism - death!
Currently, our people embraced the idea that "Spectrum
gradually bends. "I do not know who introduced this idea in our
consciousness - whether people of other platforms, whether
frustrated unpredictable evolution of Spectrum's elite. Well,
most newfangled: yelling "collapse ... the agony ... the end of
the world." I am very sorry that these people consciously or
unconsciously ruin Spectrum. Nothing lasts forever in this
world, but the word can be killed, and can be revived for a new
life! Word - the most powerful weapons in the possession of
mankind! No superbomb with him contend can not.
What is actually happening with our favorite, from our sun?
Whether it goes out, whether tending to a close? Firstly, it
depends primarily on all of us. Appeals "Passing on the PC, do
not forget about the good old Speccy" do not work - go and
forget. So we should think first of those who remain and try to
infuse fresh blood Spectrum. Processes occurring on the market
for personal computers, is not given, seemingly no hope of
survival "natural" Spectrum. But it is only at first glance.
Manufacturers of iron only serve an order of society. Why stop
all timid attempts to end the sale of pirated compact for the
PC market? Old as the world technology. Plant a man in the
street on compacts, instill that there is no alternative, to
impose this same look small the most solvent and
fastest-growing firms. One word "business - this is war." Well,
if you are sick of this vicious system, where you have all the
time something imposed from the cradle to the shroud? If you
still want an alternative? "There is no alternative!" - Go in a
frenzy of apologists for PC (to Incidentally, after the
introduction of high customs duties on importation of finished
computers all that you buy from pisishek already not even the
"yellow" and "red" vehicle, so no comment). A Spectrum? It is
impossible to make money - hence, it must be destroyed. If even
a few people, but this is a loophole which can jump the
potential nick PC, and besides, you just imagine what would
happen if someone would be able to avoid these annual spending
on pisishnoe iron. It's somebody's profit shortfalls in other
areas of production;) Spektrumistskaya freemen as an eyesore at
the gate of a large computer business, but it is also a haven
for all freedom-loving people who are not willing to dance to
someone else's tune. Now when I think I first explained the
phenomenon himself Spectrum, we turn to practical matters. At
Spectrum rich tradition. One of them - to do all quality and
very cheap. Without this "motor" everything stops. Therefore,
any software, not to mention the hard, seen on the Spectrum
with great curiosity, but also skeptical. And this is a healthy
skepticism. If so the compiler - that Supercompilar and better
new convenient and powerful Macroassembler. Build a new
Spectrum - daunting task. The people on the Spectrum does not
make "bubbles" and the ugliest of things. And since "beauty
will save the world, then on the idea of Spectrum has nothing
to fear:) And what little remains spektrumistov? Firstly, it is
not known how many. If the 2.5 thousand it is not too small,
given the specificity of the Spectrum. Well, then, not so
important how much, but it is important to exactly who
remained, as he understands the place of the Spectrum in his
life and creativity whether they are human. In short, I believe
that the Spectrum will be in the XXI century! But for this to
be true, it is necessary to use effectively full potential at
our disposal.
1) Network. No matter how many people outside of our network,
they will sooner or
later find themselves in networks. Only networks provide
operational information mation and extensive communication
with peers. 2) Festival. Wherever he passed, and no matter how
named, but
without the Spectrum already do. Consequently, and without a
scene!
Festival of additional stimulus to creativity and a way "to
people see and be seen. "Although sceners and principal
actors at the event, but the audience does not
simple extras. And among them representatives from other
directions tions of activity on the Spectrum: hardmeykery,
softmeykery from ers, traders said.
3) Group. Creative groups on the Spectrum - a unique phenomenon.
And it ought to be preserved and maintained.
4) Firm. The remaining firms in the market should be supported
in every way
and cooperate with them. On the other side to these firms
lies
huge responsibility. Therefore, they must be the best
in Russia in kind to their customers.
5) But we have to put the opposite in the first place. This
spectrum rumistsky people. It is not users who are not
users, and the people!
Combining and consolidating it all at the same time, I stand!
