 ZF> We are pleased to introduce our guests from
Samara, working on Spectrum'e. Tell us a little about yourself 
and your group. 


  AK ^ - ^ MM

 AK> I am Alexander Korolyov, a year ago, finished college and 
now I'm Spectrum'om, ochem wanted from the very first 
institutskih years. My thesis was connected with the Spectrum. 
At E'97 we brought demo at the Spectrum.


 MM> Murashov Maxim, leader of the Samara hackers. My main goal 
was the union wei Samara, that would submit it as a city that 
has weight World Speccy. To people together with Kharkov, 
Peter, Moscow and Novgorod, and their DR knew a simple Volga 
city of Samara. I believe that I did. In Samara

there are a lot of coders, hackers, graphs,
musicians. Now published magazine "Oberon", which is likely, if 
properly efforts will live on and on. It will

osveschatsya various processes occurring at Speccy. In general, 
I believe that byi done on a Spectrum, vsy go for good. Each 
new product pobuzhdavt Speccy users to stay on and on. 

 ZF> Poslyadnee while many people love to scream that Spectrum 
had died, while others by contrast, argue that this is the only 
public computer. How is Spectrum in Samara?


 MM> As the market it can be argued
that users of many different ages
and interests, and their entire Spectrum interested in how 
their home machine on which they Hotels like to see new 
programs. 

 ZF> Tell what you are doing in terms of soft / hard at the 
moment? 

 MM> We mainly deal with the publication of the magazine and in 
addition, not without my help in Samara written several gaming 
projects, though, alas - most in style "Savings - look." And 
plus to this, we is the conversion of the famous Amiga game

"WALKER", which once started you have to do in St. Petersburg. 
Well, as for hard - going to buy a batch of modems that are 
likely - XTR-modem'ov to create a network of like a ZX-Net. 

 ZF> A little more detail about your network.

 MM> Among us there are a few people with
PC, who are willing to serve as a gate to Fido and the 
Internet. The very same network will soon only XTR-ah and 
existing under the their software. Personally, I now have 
access to soft'a huge number and if the network

I will earn a pop in her regularno new items arriving.

 ZF> Tell us about your magazine.

 AK> It was long ago, a year before graduation
my institute. We sat with a friend
looked at the press came - Spectrofon and ZF-1, and when an 
idea - make the magazine here in Samamre. The first number, I 
can say as a writer, was lower medium, but here's the third - 
is already much better. Own magazine was engaged in Eugene 
Meloon, I was just a coder. Our goal was his objective 
reporting of information, and the first issue was - the "anti 
Spectrophone. Rasstsvet also came from the second, when we come 
to MM. 

 MM> How do I come from - in Samara was
ZX-club, which involved a man purely
Commercial. And then one day he phoned
me and said that we have suddenly emerged magazine, released an 
unknown group, and offered to withdraw from his defense. 
Protection we rented for 3 days, but went after This is not to 
him, but to the authors and suggested they change the policy. 
Dosih far we have not managed to produce a single number, which 
would fully satisfy me. However, the third number, I believe, 
already close to my ideas about quality journal, ie, already 
prblizhaetsya to the level of ZF. We focus not only your 
magazine at 128, but at 48, which is why it is difficult

make it presentable, but if our
podnapryagutsya programmers, we smozhemsdelat really cool 
magazine. Now we vtupili a new company EXTREME, and is thought 
to publish the magazine in conjunction with them, so maybe 
Obeon reborn.  _
