Of course, Spectrum!

Some people lose their nerves and go crazy slowly :) =============================================================================== | Forwarded by Vyacheslav Mednonogov (2:5030/727.12) | Area : DEMO.DESIGN | From : Programmer, 2:5020/996.21@FidoNet (03 Oct 99 23:15) | To: All | Subj: Of course, Spectrum! =============================================================================== The Spectrum has died, finally (forever, forewer - if someone doesn’t understand). The Spectrum will no longer be saved by acceleration of 80, 160 or even 240 times. This wonderful architecture and devices have already lost to Yamaha (MSX), which was in 79. With a similar processor, Yamaha was ten times more convenient and pleasant than ZX. Moreover, this opinion will not help me change even hand-assembled spectrum. Then the Spectrum played the coffin on the 7th and 9th agate, and then almost everything else. You can try to change it correct, improve - but it’s all like a poultice for the dead. All the “new” code on the Spectrum comes down to output (maybe even very fast) pictures rendered on PC, and pictures drawn there. Why keep on shoulders of a dead platform? Of course, spektrumists, especially those who are the most eminent people will start performing, and this is natural - who else will they be? send some signs of respect for the next piece of ripped or code optimized for three cycles on any other platform?Moreover, the spectrum has a very, very mediocre relationship with echotag - that is, "demo/design". Here's something, but the Spectrum demos don't smell like design. If spectrists discussed here the possibilities of improving the demo code, or transition to normal platforms, to which such a wonderful thing applies the concept of “design” - I would still understand that. But this letter has already been caused by my complete misunderstanding of what is happening - spectrists are discussing some things not related neither to code nor to design.. In general: As no p o g m a m m e p , I ask everyone s p e c t p u m i s t s , a n d t h e c h t o p o d e r l i v e s conversations about a dead platform in no way fall under the topic of the conference, as well as those who can stop this - U H E S I T E .
