The most significant event of last week was the start of voting
for a new international konferetsii relcom. comp. speccy. Talk
of the statute newsgroup (the so-called phase RFD) was held
from 1 to 15 November. It now remains to collect the necessary
votes. Currently, there are several telekonfrentsy on the
Spectrum. First of all - an international conference comp. sys.
sinclair In this internet conference attended by people from
around the world, the continued interest and love for the
Spectrum so far. It discusses game and system programs, search
games, questions emulation of Spectrum on other platforms
advertised the new web-pages and a server with Spectrum
subjects. It is not uncommon is the message: "Buy Zx-Spectrum"
and even "Buy such and such a game." Official conference
language is naturally English. Russian-language internet -
Conferences on Spectrum does not currently exist. There are
only two FIDO-conferences, however, freely available (at least,
read only; -)) through internet. They are called fido7. zx.
spectrum and fido7. spb. speccy With regard to the last
conference, I can only say that this is yet another
confirmation of the fact: Peter - the center of Spectrum in the
world. And it seems, really is true. Judge yourself: Peter is a
major center for hardware-development and, perhaps, the only
place where you can sell the author's program and get paid for
it. Perhaps that is why the authors of new programs with the
hope of turning to the Petersburg traders. Example what: Slonim
Plutonia Vitebsk and Civilization, obviously, poyavyatsya in
the first place there. (But it is, however, offtopic, sorry
that no one has proposed ways to disseminate author programs we
have in Belarus.) Russian-speaking conference fido7. zx.
spectrum is focused primarily on fidoshnikov-spektrumistov,
which admittedly will be more than inetchikov. This conference
has fileecho with a sufficiently large traffic, ie, the
programs are no less than messagov:) Demo author programs,
demos, new sistemki for Spectrum and the emulator on PC,
releases (warez'y) some groups come here often enough. There
was even an attempt to create a internet'e fileecho this
conference, but it seems there were some difficulties.
Currently fido7. zx. spectrum discussed in many vital events:
an Enlight97 and FunTop98, new hardware and software
development, distribution of copyright software and more. It is
possible that in the next room the newspaper closer we will
introduce you to this conference. A new internet-konferetsiya
relcom. comp. speccy, unless, of course, will be collected the
necessary votes, will be, of course, First of all, it is
internet-conference, although in a FIDO It will also be to
participate. It will be Bilingual (Russian and English)
International Conference. Principal it honors - will be keeping
entries, ie, messages will be sorted on the field Subject. It
is very convenient as it allows quickly navigate the list of
messages. The purpose of creating a conference (of the draft
statute): In the almost exclusive dominance in the market for
personal computers IBM PC platform and policies of dumping
prices on obsolete models of computers that platform,
traditional CIS Spectrum home computers are in the position of
plants listed in the "Red Book". In Small and medium-sized
cities, particularly away from St. Petersburg , Moscow and
Kharkov Spectrum users are able to "Information hunger" for
software products, electronic publications and other
information about the Spectrum. Conference relcom. speccy
designed to break the "information blockade" to bring Spectrum
users to software developers and hardware vendors, and
publishers of electronic newspapers and magazines. Except that
it will provide communications spektrumistov CIS with friends
in other countries and will contribute to wide information
exchange in many directions.
