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. _
