Glitches in ZxNews ...
Alex Mikhailov, 1996
In prededuschem room ZxNews'a several readers have found one
and the same- bug: "After a few seconds after loading the
paper, the screen starts to fly something strange and
unexplained "?"
One even tried to crack the shell with
using disk-doctor to little to treat "poor zaglyuchivshuyu a
newspaper," as he put it. Nothing happened ...
Another commander, renamed Conver
file ZxNews.B on ZxNews.C, thus trying to trick ZxWord, and
tried to view it as text. What was genuine surprise unhappy
when he saw some strange pseudographic characters in peremezhku
with numbers and letters, located a bit messy and disorderly ...
The third, who had to drink a little beer before
reading, thought at first that the beer was slightly more than
he relied ... "When, how sellers have come, - he said something
to try to prove myself. - For beer vodka is diluted." With
these words, he fell asleep, his face buried in the keyboard ...
Fourth, it seems the most intelligent, tried
understand how this could be to TRIP
flew across the screen.
As had happened before: bugs quickly and safely covered the
screen, often destroying vital information. Especially
often happens when the appliance to the neighbors living across
the road on the contrary. Or this version: some
a small child in the late-night crawl
switchboard, in order to try
know all the secrets of the domestic electrical industry, which
she it protects children from more than a defense against enemy
spies. Instead, his tiny body in convulsive spasms leaves the
house without electricity about a week - until there is fitter
will come ... In such cases all occurred more faster: so much
fun recently flickering screen becomes like a black hole; drive
before the final cut, the last effort to spoil the most desired
disc, power, unable to withstand overload quietly starts to
smoke, mouse, convulsively clenched in his hand, with the quiet
crunch breaks ...
Hmm. He did not understand ...
A bug and continued to fly around the screen,
nobody touching and anyone not paying
the slightest attention ...
