2. How old are you?

22

21.

almost 26

24

20

17.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Average age of survey participants: 21.5.
All participants are approximately the same generation.

3. How are things going with the Spectrum in your city?

It sucks.

no way. Everything was bent. The most persistent remained only “fans”. That is, those who remember the old days with warmth. I am among them.

there is no one

Deaf.

no way (the 6 people I know out of a million of the city are nothing)

not like that anymore

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone has absolutely come to the general conclusion about the collapse of the Specocene in cities.
I wonder if Spectrum still exists? If yes, then it’s a paradox, if not, then
why should IDo I do any projects on it?

4. Bring your favorite games to the spec and rate their quality in
percentage.

all those written by V. Mednonogov

Dizzy - 100%, Last Battle (or something like that, long ago there was a turn-based strategy
about robots in general. You can play in the 2nd) - 100%, some other toy
turn-based about traveling in the labyrinth. There were given 4 heroes at the beginning and a three-dimensional view. And all sorts of traps were set, monsters, etc. I remember chopping for a long time in the evenings - 100%. Well, and all sorts of arcades. There were a lot of
cool tchotchkes - I just don’t remember the names anymore.

Corners - 95%
Scorch - 90%

UFO (1,2) 95
ChV 99
Kolobok Zoom 2 99
Elite 80
Fist (all), IK+ 70
R-Type 70
ClickMania 65
Opener 75

Laser Squad, UFO, BR, Elite, Megatron, Myth, Dizzy, Driller, Target
Renegade, GPS2, Boble Boble, R-Type, Betty? Hard Drivin, Then some kind of black and white toy about a broken blade/dagger (whatever) in it there is still a small
man running around the basements, Joe Blade, then a simulator of some kind of motorcycle in
which you need to carefully lift the wheels to step over the holes, something
chaos (like r-type), HeroQuest1&2,.. A lot all my favorites, from a lot
pearl.

TETRIS 2 (F.FUKA) 100%
NETHER EARTH 100%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Opinionswere divided, although 33.3% mentioned Mednonogov.
In general, it’s difficult to say anything here.

5. Name the spektrumists who, in your opinion, are still working for the benefit of Spectrum.

There are no such people.

yes there is a crowd of people yet, you can’t remember everyone, so I’m not writing so as not to offend anyone ;)

I don’t know.

I don’t know such people.;) I saw the glory of Mednonogov in fidoshka - I think he’s already far away from this spec. All the locals had already run away. Lost Cluster has already left for Moscow
and released a CD with music.

Alexander Shushkov, Alone Coder, Vitamin,... and in general everyone is working for the good ;)
I remember this from those who often release.

AlCo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
50% believe that they still exist. The remaining 50% claim the
complete collapse of the Spectrum.

6. Which of all the parties held was the most successful? Why?

The very first:) Because she is the first:)

I don’t know. I haven’t been to any of them.

I don’t know, I haven’t gone. I liked the first ones from the reports. Because it was all relevant.

Enlight. showed PCs that they can do much
better at less cost

CAFe2002 - optimal organization
CC000 - quality of work/number of visitors

I haven’t been to all of them, but judging by the reviews - FunTop was one of the rules
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Opinions were divided. A minority of respondents (33.3%) believethat the first parties were the best. The rest are inclined to the coolness of subsequent parties, although everyone likes different ones.

7. List the most necessary software on the Spectrum.

Pisyuk emulator. ;] but in general he would need network affairs, irc and icq client, wap
client, browser.

system
games
communication

hmm. games and magazines. Text and graphic editors - all overnight! This is not relevant now.

Games:)

xas, commanders (perfect,quick,real), rar/unrar, rip, hrust, hrum, hrip...
e-zines/e-papers
and everything else is also needed ;)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone gave very generalized answers, so it’s difficult to say specifically.
In general, judge them.

8. Which of all Spectrum brands turned out to be the most successful in terms of configurations?

emulator. I loved my Pentagon 128k.

syntactically incorrect question
I answer as best I can - KAY, Sprinter (if it fits here)

Profi

I had a ZX 128. That was enough for me. But I dreamed of Pantagon 256.

Konkurent

xs
pentagon+covox+.......
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Opinions were also very divided. See for yourself.

9. How much time do you devote to the Spectrum?

4-16 hours a week

0.;) now I’m on a PC and I’m very happy that I don’t have to constantly tinker with hardware.
I spent money - bought myself a device, inserted it into the port and no problems. I rememberold
times and how I was tormented by the printer... bppp.;)

several tens of minutes a year.

very little

Now I don’t devote any more.

a total of several days a month
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s nice to hear that the majority (66.6%) still devote at least some time to a good cause Spectrum.

10. What kind of future do you see for the Spectrum?

bright and wonderful ;)
in any case, my Speccy

100% will last for ten years

soon everyone will forget about it and it will become a museum exhibit

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh... Pussies are at a premium these days.

"there are 5-10 people somewhere in in the park with beer/vodka. And they discuss
old times. But remember how we went through dizi together... It was a great time
Well, let's get a hundred for old time, okay? That's all the future is. It is useless to argue with Ghz
History and memory. Ideally, of course, it would be nice to make it part of the PDA, fortunately
there is a lot of software\games for the zx.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The majority (50%) believes that only memory will remain from the Spectrum.
33.3% are confused and do not give specific figures.
16.7% are quite optimistic and, despite the 100% answer to the question
©3 not in favor of the continued existence of the platform, they answer that Spectrum
is eternal.

Now let's move away fromSpectrum.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
From the above answers, an opinion emerges about the different views
on life among the survey participants. This allows you to generate
a fairly accurate representation of the results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

11. Do you love music? Which (groups, styles)?

almost all, except pop, chanson

Yes. Heavy. Industrial

yes, very much so. I listen to a lot of things. From Marlyn Manson, NightWish, Limp
Bizkit, ClawFinger to ICE T, Eminem, Down Low, Ice Cube.

yes, Aphex Twin (foreva!), Cinema.
breakbeat jungle trip-hop idm ambient digital hardcore happy hardcore robot-pop
techno-rave and other electronic except trance&house
and also: punk ska ska-punk funk alt.rock industrial

I love it. Rock.

different. korn family (limp bizkit, guano apes) sometimes rap (or hip hop?) sometimes electronic and all sorts of aphex twin \ dust brotheers \ moby, some things
Leningrad, sometimes Friday. The devil knows.

------------------------------------------------------------
The majority (66.6%) listen to different music. The minority is limited to certain areas.

12. Do you believe in God?

depending on which one

I believe in God, but I don’t believe in the church.

I believe.

undecided

no

noperhaps.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
33.3% - believes
33.3% - does not believe
33.3% - refrained from giving a specific answer

13. Who is Altshul?

Probably a Jew ;]

I don’t believe it ;))

? first time I hear

xs

xs

Physicist.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody really heard about Altshul. And this scientist was like this, for example, he was responsible for the derivation of the formula for finding the hydraulic resistance of media, i.e. something that physicists often neglect.

14. Where is “Perpetual Motion” found?

And it is not.

in the cinema

nowhere

in science fiction

the water cycle in nature.

I don’t know.
---------------------------------------------------------------
50% - exists
50% - does not exist

Moreover, 13.3% about its existence in nature, which is unlikely. Everything requires energy expenditure, energy moves from one state to another during any interactions, due to this, energy leaves the interaction system. A perpetual motion machine implies
efficiency = 100%, i.e. the energy ratio is equal to 1, in other words, in a perpetual motion machine there cannot be any extraneous transfers of energy - this is impossible. The only option where molecules cannot
interact with molecules of nearby systems is the universe as a whole. Those. At this stage of development of science, the universe can beconsider it a perpetual motion machine.

15. Who is Adam? Monkey or man?

Winnie the Pooh? Pig or boar?

I don’t believe in God

Adam is the first man. We did not descend from monkeys.

This is a bald monkey.

Adam is a literary character. Man.

:)

----------------------------------------------------------------
33.3% - for a person
16.7% - for a monkey
50% - avoided answering.

16. What is “Rock music”?

This is the choice of the soul.

In the encyclopedia, smart people wrote

rulez

DDT, Butusov, Kish - punk rock. Something that leaves a mark on the soul and sounds rough
a little.

apparently the direction in music.

I find it difficult to answer
----------------------------------------------------------------
66.6% - answered the question.
16.7% - did not answer.
16.7% - avoided answering.
This question is because I don’t know the exact definition, maybe someone
tell me

17. Likewise, pop music.

at the beginning - popular music. For me, this is something that does not carry a semantic load for a normal person. Those. nonsense. Maybe there is a meaning there - but it is delusional. The main idea is I love you, and you love me (no, yes, too, never - by choice).

This is popular music. Today it is there, but tomorrow it is gone.

it takes a long time to write...

similarly

popular music or music that allows me not to think, does not allow me to thinkthink.

sucks
--------------------------------------------------------
83.3% - gave a definition
16.7% - avoided answering.

But again I don’t know the full definition.

18. When and from what will humanity die?

We will live.

I don’t care (I don’t know)

There won’t be enough oxygen when. If you have food, water, nature and
fresh air - everything will be ok

soon. on my own behalf

I don’t believe in God ;))) I definitely won’t die

earlier than we think. From completely natural reasons.
--------------------------------------------------------

50% believe that they will die.
16.7% believe that “They will live.”
33.3% abstained

For example, from the inability to survive in uncivilized conditions.
We will run out of fossils and die. Then from ultraviolet radiation due to ozone
holes. We throw millions of waste into the atmosphere. Ozone does not tolerate
chlorocarbons!!!

19. How did the world begin?

I don’t know.. And I never tried to think about it. What I like about Eastern philosophy and religion is that there is one instructive story there. If you are shot from a bow, then it is better to think about how to dodge the arrow than to think about who shot at you. In general, you need to think about the essentials.

Apparently someone created it.

by itself

I wasn’t there

I don’t know.

xs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
16.7%- believe in the creator.
16.7% - believe that he himself, as they say “Just like that”:)
The remaining 83.3% have no idea. For the rest, I would advise you to read the theory of relativity, there is such a section or a book “Almost everything about the nuclear reactor”, the authors are L.V. Matveev and A.P. Rudik, they describe the explosion, after
which the birth of the universe occurred.

20. How did it develop?

slowly but surely.;) development is spiraling. Each turn is a new life.
The previous one is erased. Our revolution has already completed more than half.

First dinosaurs, then man.

history is silent about this

not at all as everyone thinks

consistently.

slowly
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The book “Almost Everything about the Nuclear Reactor” describes the first seconds of its formation, and then, of course, your assumptions.

About slow and consistent development think - 50%
Completely disagree with the basis of science - 16.7%
Don’t know - 33.3%

21. Is the essence of existence knowable?

no

what is it?

Eh! My life!

no.

depending on whom

Probably knowable.
------------------------------------------
33.3% - think no.
16.7% - think yes.
50% - abstained from a specific answer.

22. Theory and practice. What is more important?

salary

practice. But without theory - shenothing.

Practice.

theory.

golden mean

for each his own
------------------------------------------
16.7% - for practice
16.7% - for theory.
50% - for the "golden mean"
16.7% - for salary.

23. Decipher: "KOZHZGSF".

Goat - Fucking Zhirik, Assessor of the State Duma of the Soviet Federation.

2,-,6,4,5,1,3 ;)

no.

rainbow

rainbow

why?
------------------------------------------
33.3% - answered that it was a rainbow.
50% - left the specific response.
16.7% - made a public statement against V.V. Zhirinovsky.

24. Who is the strongest on Earth? Who's the smartest? Who is the most beautiful? Who is the most
unnecessary?

I don’t give a damn ;)

Wind. So the strongest water is with fire, and the greatest thing is the sky with
clouds. The wind will extinguish the fire and dry up the water. And will disperse all the clouds, if necessary. He can also
bring rain, kindle
fire, etc.
Who is the smartest?
Gusinsky. Sly as a fox. Cunning is the mind of fools:)
Who is the most beautiful?
Of women - Hifertiti, and of men - the god Apollo.
Who is the most unnecessary?
The one who is the third, because the third is always superfluous.

an ant perhaps.
Who is the smartest?
I can’t know.
Who is the most beautiful?
the person (mostly and in my case of the opposite sex) with whom you are
fascinated at the moment. Beauty is meant in general, incomplex.
Who is the most unnecessary?
an old man who interferes with life.

it's all about me.:)

mouse
Who is the smartest? Who is the most beautiful?
I saw him in the mirror today, but I forgot to ask what his name is
Who is the most unnecessary?
mouse

I I I I am not I
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Abstained 16.7%
Read all the rest yourself.

25. Write the stupidest code you've ever come across.

The code of my IHH.

I don't do such nonsense as remembering other people's mistakes, although I've seen them
plenty (you can always find mistakes in almost any listing)

Please.
for i:= 1 to 4 do
case i of
1: [we're doing something here];
2: [we're doing something here];
3: [we're doing something here];
4: [we're doing something here];
end;
It was found in a commercial product.

cpl
cpl

there were no such things.

...
var: i:integer;
...
i:=O;
...

I don’t remember ;(
if only I could find my first programs ;))
