(C) MR. BRAIN
Dear friend! Before you see a
questionnaire, answers to which will have a its
possible assistance in the development of the Spectrum. It is
now quite a lot said about the problems of the Spectrum and its
shortcomings, I will not repeat, except to say one thing -
Spectrum or very soon will die as a home computer or be reborn
into something else. Many people already have made repeatedly
steps to change the current situation
on the platform, but things out there. Most of them did not
consider the real situation and took the wrong steps in the
development Spectrum. This questionnaire is intended to
identify the need for development of the Spectrum and, if it
exists, and direction of development. I ask you
taken seriously by filling out this form, do not be afraid to
give a little extra mnformatsii, but do not overdo it
(especially in electronic form), in any case, your
The view will be very helpful for many people trying to revive
the Spectrum as massive platform. Connect to this
questioning your friends and acquaintances, and
other Spektrumistov, including
available to you via e-edition
is welcome. Do not go around doing the survey and this does not
delay response indefinitely, maybe your voice will be decisive
in some matters.
