NEMO deserving of respect?
There is hardly a spektrumist not knowing NEMO or have not
heard about him ... Do not be mistaken in saying that he - the
most famous spektrumist Russia! Created around
a sort of halo of "agitator, Gorlan, the ringleader," Guardian
platform until the last drop of blood a beating for its
consolidation. To some extent so it is worth reading his famous
"Open Letter", imbued with the pathos of his ideas, to
understand its philosophy. But ... time goes by, and NEMO is
not quite the NEMO, which we all
know and remember of his past articles and
Cases :-(
He is - an intelligent man, even reads the ancient
philosophers, that nowadays a rarity, you will agree ;-) I read
with interest his "Open Letter" and found for themselves
many interesting, informative and useful.
Our more or less familiarity with
it started about a year ago, when I
NEMO has sent replies to the questionnaire distributed by the
Paragraph, "and he replied (as I understand, in gratitude for
it) sent me price on its hardware and software, and floppy disk
"Open Letter". As an honest man
and honest, I had to return it
This disc (and how could it be otherwise?), and if so, I
wrote him a letter in which to speculate
about the status of the Spectrum platform, lamented the high
cost of Kaev and invited him (How naive!) to organize
production of relatively cheap Pentagon. In the envelope with
the floppy I put gold piece (for postal services), because he
has spent on sending the envelope. In response, letter to,
among other things, he scolded me for it, because, it turns
out, it was necessary to send more and brands, not money in the
envelope. I'm even then amazed: why?
Because I did not order anything, in fact, I could do not to
send money, not reply to this message and leave a floppy disk
a souvenir from the NEMO :-)
By April this year I have already fully
"Ripe" for buying a motherboard
KAY, wrote him another letter, which has already put stamps on
21 rubles, with a request ratio for April and the date of the
order.
Also, I wanted to talk to
him on the state of the platform ZX
and its relation to the PC, which he
sharply negative. I'm not used to rely on someone else's
opinion, even such a famous person as NEMO, I always try to
comprehensively analyze the situation cases in the test
question, be as objective as possible, even to what is
insignificant and unlikely to explore question, even with such
party, with a majority and would never consider it. Naturally,
his thoughts on the topic ZX PC and I told him and expressed.
Just want to say that I do not pisishnik,
alien to me on this computer and his life without
Spectrum I have no idea, but I try to be objective. I want to
give a few paragraphs from my letter to the NEMO, and disagree
with my reasoning or not, this is for you to decide:
... We should be flexible enough and developed the mind to
deeper understanding of your articles in the press and the same
"OL". Student or PTU-Schnick hardly understand them and that
once times will give you a reason to call it a sheep "
or "goat" :-) But he is not guilty! Well,
Maybe he was still young, not educated, and, perhaps wisely did
not come out ... In short, He - "sheep" for reasons beyond his
control! He does not want them to be, but you with your
peremptory tone makes it a add-on ...
... Quote from your letter to me: "Understated price
expectations are produced networks on an industrial scale,
based on the general, the fundamental principle of their
operation - namely, "free access and information. "It is easy
to see that it - variation of the well-known in the past, the
motto "all take and share." Ie networks postulated the
obligation contained in them people do not pay for information
and, in general, not to pay, wherever possible.
To access network resources person
proposed to solve the following problem which confronts them
network: "Either steal with us and we recognize your own,
or we obvoruem you !"...". (End quote). But somebody has
information online for free, so why should it not take, eh? And
this proverb is - "Give - take it, beat - run! ". And who would
become to use the Internet, even if for the most basic
information we would have to pay? Indeed, the very time spent
in the network is expensive stands, and flew it hoo how quickly
:-) If you read about what today's youth
chatting in a chat room, simply amazed,
such nonsense as they can be interesting?
Obviously, not very interesting "conversation" and
the process of exchanging information (if
You can call it that). Well, of course, a dunce
sitting in Moscow, and another, for example, in Chelyabinsk,
knocking himself on the piano, and "talk" ... Already become
sick from this kind of communication! Maybe it was you had in
mind in criticizing the platform PC? But if you look deeper
into this topic, there is a plus - it is efficiency of
communication and information sharing! Almost never us it can
not provide, although communication by post, in the final
Finally, cheaper ...
... Too bad that you - the only remaining manufacturer of
hardware, there you have competitors, market forces do not work
and something to me in your activities in this
area does not suit! I do not want and do not
I will now write about the reasonableness of prices
by KAY (not my business, I'm not doing them)
maybe not such they are high, but
My friend Eugene Borisov from Staritsa (publisher of the
journal Fantadrom, recently, by the way, has released a second
number) wrote to me that the expected execution order
KAY-1024 collection year and two months! And
money, as it should have paid a deposit! In "Bird N: 4" also
wrote about a similar situation and criticize you for it. A
reason for this, if I understand correctly, simplicity. The
fact that NEMO in vain did not spend a penny, which, of course,
natural for the person involved
industry (well, let the semi-
or even production). Apiece
You will not order the production of printed circuit boards, as
it "costs money" (your words), and suddenly you have them you
order more than need and they will lie dead
load? The money will be invested, but when
they pay off? Money must turn and
turn around, it is - the law of the market! Money
need to make money! In his most recent
"OL" You write that very few were ordered Kaev, so production
is almost worth :-( You're obviously doing this: compile the
application (and money, of course) but when you have a
particular party, pieces 10, for example, you order a
manufacturer of printed circuit boards and ONLY THEN embark on
a direct manufacturing of motherboards. As a producer and a
person who lives it (in the literal sense word) - you're right,
as a fan and spektrumist SPECCY - think not.
Imagine: the poor fellow user with
great effort to save money, sent them
(C) NEMO, and the company still no :-( It -
call to Peter, and he was - not enough applications for
manufacture of computers, wait! Yes
He does not want to wait for him, "Kay" needs! And do not
spun in his head treacherous
the idea that "it would be better to myself pussy
bought and worked on the emulator? you do not
think? Here I am, too, is now firmly
decided to replace its Scorpio in KAY, already
began to set aside money for the order, but
when I think that got it in the best case for the New Year, so
bad it becomes and of themselves appear in the head bad
thought in the address (c) NEMO with a predominance of verbs
and adjectives of a sexual nature ... ;-)
... Back to the last letter Ilyasova. I really liked his
imaginative comparison of 600-x "Mercy and computers
it's silly to them, "haul the cottage potatoes"
costs will be several times larger. In short, meaning that for
most working on SPECCY opportunities Spectrum suffice to
perform nearly all tasks. It's all right, but this is looking
what goals the person buying the computer itself. Or maybe he
is also set text and perform some some accounting calculations
in his spare time wants rest, relax at the computer,
play in any strategy immitator or "mochilku? And he wants to
its competence to hear music from a CD and watch
great quality movies! Money from
it is, why blame him for wanting to
play the game with quality graphics and
sound? Spectrum he does not give :-( And no
every "degree" will allow it to him, and with a clock speed of
at least 300 Megagerts! Other matter if it from the computer
"roof rides, "but it - have a clinical case.
There are already parents to their offspring to control and
prevent such things. So-that have a home PC - so I do not think
too much of a handicap.
I can only advise, to solve
You! But if you publicly reported
Spectrum media that the period of performance
Orders for Kai reduced to two months
CONVINCED that the orders would be knocked down so that you
would not be able to fulfill them! And this is only possible if
you do not wait for the accumulation of a certain number of
orders, and will produce KAY "advance." And the first customer
I will! I (and so many potential customers) are not satisfied
with a situation where I will send you a nearly two thousand
rubles, will order the motherboard KAY and wait a year or more,
and eventually get back their money with a note "is not a
sufficient quantity of orders." During this time, money and
partly eaten inflation, and You to send them back, have
pay 6% of the amount for postage. But
that's unlikely, because if a person is ordered
computer, it will wait until the last, though
Two years! ...
Here is a letter I sent to him in April. So get on the
NEMO kg package with a bunch of magazines, newspapers and books.
Beginning of the letter was the usual: "Dear
Sergei Mikhailovich, "to the middle of his treatment is
interspersed with" you "and" you " then a lot of insults and
even threats!: -8
But who is this NEMO? Who gave him the
right this way, the last word to insult a person unfamiliar? I
am in my letter did write something similar?
No! So what the hell he was there as the chain broke and the
spray on a letter to the saliva, diarrhea I was abusive words?
For what? For what I guess its methods of work, like a pyramid
"MMM" and others? Or something that the objective attitude to
the PC and even hated them online find a positive quality - the
rapid exchange of information? Where did it so much intolerance
the opinions of others, even if erroneous, to his opinion?
erazlichimy.
Lamer is simply unable to understand what
difference.
SirX: of course, who are now in this
recognized ... Simply write what I lamer.
Again the easy way out looking for the captain! In any
case, the information that I
possessed at that moment, you just
worked there! And I am inclined to this -
otherwise anywhere else so could be at loggerheads
some things.
Nemo: 5. At the expense of refinement of the controller.
Crazy stick to no good arguments. Except
of ignoring the standards up to no good
communicate well. Finally, with this
revision to the third component of the fly in
trash ...
SirX: the account of the revised agreement,
familiarized with the scheme of the desire was gone
so complex mutilate. And at the expense of standards -
You say, not so that looking at
them.
Most of the future, I scribble
again omitted, it does not concern me, if
some of these people is something
want to say - welcome to
Pilot platform.
Nemo: 6. At the expense of program
compatibility. In these two programs
mistakes in programming, ie, in
code. Manufacturer of components for this
is not responsible. Contact
directly to the manufacturers of software - if you
pay for it. And if you got on
freebie - then we must be silent in a rag, and
not to give bad example to others. In
letter was never found references
about any payments. Ie man on
"Bird rights" rocking those same rights for
three.
SirX: Well - the classics, when
man has nothing more to say in my
excuse, he begins to gag
interlocutor. You would have said: go
come out:) That's one. Accurate, and
You can offend.
Second: UFO V. Mednonogova, which
it was declared freeware for a long time. A
proizovaditelyam Battle Command in general
foolish to put the claim. Tell me, where I
I can officially buy this game and I
do.
Third. Again, easier to say that
someone else's fault, not mine. Well, another would. Why
Well then a number of programs
that work on most other
clones are not going to KAY? Above, I blamed you
non-compliance with standards - actually I
I do not know what else can we explain this fact.
Fourth. Manufacturer of components,
you say? And who are you? How can you be about
something to say? Your words at the expense of
that you are a manufacturer of components -
empty sound. How you can get me in something
blame? Rights you have no more than
me. Yes, I can illegally possess games
which were discussed - but I do them just
I own and am not trying to make money.
Decode the hint? And yet, what I
I ask. So:
Show your license to
producing components. And most importantly, where
Your license for production companies
is compatible with ZX-Spectrum? I do not think that
You appealed to the Amstrad (how many remember
This company owns the rights to ZX) and
bought the right to produce clones. So
silent-ka in the rag itself!
And finally. Yet from some
remnants of respect, do not you write and you.
The general tone of your articles is
dogmatical character so that
I have a doubt in your mental
health. Healthy, normal person
admits that may be wrong. You
opinion seems to be a single dokoy
on all issues - such conclusion
naprashivatsya after reading your opus.
From the opera: "All men are whores, and I am holy!"
And the wild, this is what your disease
progessiruet. You start being rude and
rude people in the OP and correspondence. So the hell
same dick need such as hueputalo and Hamley
you? Pleased when the rough? And the remaining
kleintov lose, and there is your office
scribe to come. Think at your leisure if
What is left. And try tolerant, and
civilized people communicate - will help. A
at the expense of opus - Love can not be forced. Y
Everyone has their own point of view, and everyone is entitled
to to have it. And insulting people for it to
your hand - disgusting.
And that's it. Bye.
