Review of mail
Denis Tokarchuk
Here's what we wrote Vitaliy Petrenko
(SLY) - one of the authors of the New Pentagon, which was
replaced by a soap-mail now write to Painkiller@rambler.ru
SLY: "A few words on the board: now
is alpha-testing all this stuff, and when it ends - you will
know first. I also want a little bit better. Chief ideologue
and author fees AXLR. I just ordered it to communicate with the
people and to poke its nose into the work, and bugs.
Characteristics of the board remains the same. Yes, I repeat -
fee! Nude! mikruhi have to poke yourself. "
The following letter came from Alexander Pehimenko.
AP :"... In my last letter I called you
magazine, you would like to flatter. In principle, I would not
mind if you have outgrown the magazine. But you do not need it.
You as the newspaper has already taken its place. And I
I think you could enroll in the top ten. From the frequency
with which you leave with the information that you give, albeit
not as informative, it is still better (in my opinion on moment
for the Spectrum) than a magazine that you would have released
1 per year and a half, and all information would be outdated
(To you and the newspaper )..."
DWT: In my opinion, it is better to produce
plump newspaper than a skinny log.
AP: "At the expense of bread with raisins ... - draw
poprikalyvatsya ..."
DWT: Max does not want to paint:)
AP: "With regard to e-mail Options ... - I did not say that
it is bad, I just wanted to say that would be very
was necessary in the newspaper the other cognitive Spectrum
Information, or newspaper looks really lopsided ... "
DWT: How do you present number?
AP :"... A new board of the Spectrum
all the bells and whistles. This is of course very happy, but
there is one thing. I read an open letter NEMO (Incidentally, I
recommend reading. For myself, I found it interesting
information). In my view, to Spectrum lived on and developed
need to Park Spectrum-compatible machines are constantly
updated. Someone needs to produce repair of vehicles, as well
as producing new ones. In addition, computer hardware must
necessarily support of programming
software, at least at the minimum
level. And while these two postulates are
supported - Spectrum will live.
So, it means Spekrum still lives and will
live! We now extend further. NEMO
says that the climb with a soldering iron to the computer is
strictly prohibited, otherwise you repairs would cost an
exorbitant price, and besides This tick this computer "Kulibin"
harm the entire platform, reducing the number spektrumistov to
another. Probably will pull the others. From
cluster computer wires are not reliable
become. In the concept of NEMO his KAY already finished machine
and mold on She pedals it will not (and not only on
Technological difficulties). I'm with NEMO
partly disagree - to sculpt gadgets
at Spectrum necessary. It's like a motor
progress for the Spectrum. Its capabilities
must be improved. At the same time it
stimulates the production of software
software. Another thing is that standards
all these gadgets do not. Hence - the incompatibility. I
particularly like to stress - to climb a computer with a
soldering iron to people who in iron is not sharyat - is
strictly prohibited. From my own practice - there is some
likelihood that such climbing can lead to fixed freeze, and
then to find the defect can not leave one day and need not Only
one tseshka, and the amount of knowledge at the rate of school.
Therefore, if the gland is not sharish - Bring your computer to
the spices, let better he soldered. And if we really want
something to dazzle - lepite better through the system
connector. Now move on (Well finally) proper to the new board.
As I understand from the press release - is just a bare board,
without a single chip. And it is unclear what technical
documentation accompanies it. Hence - to build and run the
computer can only people who can keep a good soldering iron ...
"
DWT: Maybe if the board will be supported by all of us,
spektrumistami, then out, and a full PC. That is - stuck a fork
into a socket, raz'emy the monitor, disk drives and Claudia -
and rudders on the new Pentagon! Simply, everything comes down
to support the development and its return on investment. And
generally, in my opinion, if the PC solder all mikruhi, slots
and all other rubbish - cost should not increase more than
twice. It seems $ 40 - not such a big price for a specific and
neglyuchaschy upgrade.
AP: "There is one but. The board has
large sizes. Most spektrumistov motherboard is a case type
korvetovskogo or at least minitauer. Buy housing midi will be
quite expensive. And the board itself could be at to 2 times
cheaper. While spending on technology this can be and is it
price - $ 20. Yes, and I live, for example, in Kazakhstan. It
is not known how, and for any grandmother can take her there
... "
DWT: about because of such "causes"
(Namely - in quotes) and gubitsya most of the projects. If you
were gonna run tomorrow in the mail order cost. First write to
the author stating that his work - it's not a waste of time and
needed and necessary to all spektrumistam. Say that one client,
in the case successful completion of the project, he
there. And then, when the board will already
Talk about her shipping to Kazakhstan.
The main thing - to do, and how to transport - a problem the
second.
AP :"... Even for the mere fact that this fee
with all the bells and whistles have collected - it must be
said Vivat! I know I run the board in production is not so easy
and cheap. Maybe at the moment Nude fee - this is the cheapest
and most convenient option.
I say: people! Publish in more
Information about this new board. Zhelezyachniki and firms -
support these cards! Maybe we have something and you get for
the cause of the Spectrum.
Their attitude towards this board say
when will it more complete information, maybe I'll buy it and.
If I'm in something wrong - correct, at mylte

The following letter came from our
"Countrymen" - from the guys from Dnepropetrovsk. According to
Vadim Chumachenko:
VC: "I am writing to you about the 7-th number
Your rulnoy newspaper ZX-Time.
I want to express to you my great appreciation for the
material of Clive Sinclair - was very interesting to read! .. "
DWT: Gratitude redirected RGB (Sergey Loboda), which we
This material is provided.
HF :"... I also liked the section
News and analysis software. Keep it up,
guys!
Suggestions:
- To make the graphics in the text [sprite]
- Add mouse [optional] - you can even without the cursor,
and the movement of the mouse to move around the text.
- Selection of articles from the [so it will be
more convenient than flipping on all the articles in
search for the desired ]..."
DWT: Eighth Room - the penultimate
newspaper in the old shell. Now
razrabatyvaetya principle (for ZXTime) is a new environment.
RF: - unloading of [a must :]..."
DWT: That is unlikely.
HF :"... Suggestions:
Let's work together. We have [eternal
champions team] for their part offer to be an official
distributor of your newspaper in Dnepropetrovsk region [not
only newspapers but also the entire software, produced by you
and other groups in your area - commercial
and nonprofit ]..."
DWT: Ok.
The following letter came from our
constant reader and has correspondent. Nuts'u word.
Nuts: "I read now, and I hasten sabzh
express their opinions.
About registration and zest. Very
liked the splash image and Mouzon
in the paper (first) - from it I'm so dragged, well liked

harmonious combination. The newspaper has found his own style

DWT: For Resurection Oleg (Nik-O)
should put a monument! This is my favorite AU-shny track!
Nuts :"... my number 7 seemed very complete, with no
complaints.
On reasoning about dosas. People are taking action and
keep the direction on a purely HDD axis. I was right -
disskusiyam come to an end, there are only tiresome
philosophizing and disassembly of ... "
DWT: I am very glad this course of events. Hopefully, the
deployment development of new operating system is and we though
insignificant, but merit. And that
they are designed purely for hdd I
I see nothing wrong with that. It is even very well, because
progress for the Spectrum - is inevitable, and I am deeply
convinced. A chatter "scenery" that SPECTRUM
should not go further than the 128 + AC + FDD
it seems no one believes.
Nuts :"... About KRIK2. Well said ...
When I read the magazine itself - it was still
nothing. Type, all smoothed out - just
magazine, as it were with an unusual design
(Color awful) - and like materials are
interesting and can be read. But I read
a couple of reviews about this magazine - so all
turned upside down: and as I could read
such a dirty trick and did not notice:)
On the other hand - it's different from other magazines,
leading his shell and section titles of
ZXFormat! .. "
DWT: In principle, yes. Apparently Creek and
conceived as a kind of alternative to all
existing publications today. However,
Krik'ovtsy seem "too far
went in search of a custom image.
The following letter came from Xmus ...
Xmus :"... I really do not know what the fuck
I udostoen such an honor: right on the box
comes fresh ZXTime! How did you hear what I have? Probably you
have a handful of addresses from spam newspaper Passage and
decided to share with all of its fresh pochetatelyami number.
There is another theory; yet it is already known to you through
Mr. SirX'a ... "
DWT: I do not know, Internet-swap deals with Golden Max.
But his on-close not to ask:).
Xmus :"... To be honest, Sergei I
always said that your newspaper
smart, but I somehow ignored: (This is two explanations:
1) I do not really like newspapers, because their
very much and more of them
windbag (on the media situation in Speke
you know very well);
2) We've got enough software exclusively through
SirX'a (for which he lifelong THNX), and
a newspaper is usually not interested.
But now I see that you are working
operatively. Be sure to take the previous number. Now go
through a newspaper:
The first word, as always, about the interface. It's a pity
there is no mouse support, as there is no and any semblance of
the cursor: (This may lack yuzersky, but I used to slip
interface. Though you and the newspaper (with capitalized), but
can afford such a chip ... "
DWT: Oh, I already flushed :)... Thank you
for the good words.
Xmus: "Tepericha under: selection does not
and bad news are those, only
Here NetWalk you describe later gathered. Toy-it is not super
fresh.
Great joy and great relief
brought me an article about Krike2. I do this
Journal of terrible hate hate! Why
I just took it - the mind-then no, although
Serega warned that the mass media complete
bullshit ... "
DWT: What do you mean just like that of Creek. Well
anything interesting out there is!
Oops! Again, I got carried away with the letters.
For more than 10 kilobytes took mail
section. We must call it a day ...
Until the next mail section!
Write!
Always your DWT.
