Word or not, in Google Groups it's unintelligible. I don't know what
you're seeing in my quote above, but I'm just seeing garbage hi-ASCII.

Then Google Groups is faulty, since the message contained the header

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=KOI8-R

so the text should be rendered correctly.

Graphic displays with 122x32 pixels and SED1520 controller might be easier
to get, and interfacing should be similar.

How many units do you need?

The name was invented with some sense of humour way back,
then when things got serious it had already stuck. Not the worst
of names anyway, and by todays standards not whacky enough
to scare many people away, I guess.

Thanks for that one... I have found several similar vendors selling
such products, but as yet have not successfully made contact with any
of them.

Hmm. Suddenly, I wonder if Olimex might be able to help.

I had a suspicion that you are from sovok, but now it is more then a

I have no cultural affiliation with Mother Russia (the closest I get
is that I want to take a tour of Pripyat).

And I thought I was the only one! People always think I'm mad when I say
I want to go. I'm getting married next year which will take all my
vacation days so if I don't go this year then I'll have to wait a couple
of years.

There used to be an outstanding website (which sadly disappeared one
day) created by a young lady who lived near the area who would slip the
security a small 'donation' and they would let her ride her motorbike
around the exclusion zone which meant she could ride as fast as she
liked and there were no moving vehicles or creatures bigger than foxes
to crash into.

The site had a wonderfully glib tone and she bore no malice to the
authorities who, it could be fairly easily argued, did not handle the
crisis all that well. Very touching and she had some great pictures.
Shame to lose it - maybe it is hosted somewhere else now. <quick google>

live in space, or in a deep-sea habitat, but Pripyat is an excellent

that pays better so maybe I can talk him into tagging along.

The writing style and fascinating subject matter was what drew me in and
that still stands whether it was true or not. Shame that the article had
to become embroiled in controversy but that's the internet for you...

I like it more for being one of the few remaining snapshots of what the
USSR was really like because the post cold-war version seems to be all
Nike and Coke. Maybe I'm just ghoulish?

What a naive idea. You will be fighting for the survival with pillagers,
illegal settlers and the other scum which is hanging around there.

If you *really* want to live in such place (about which I have some
doubts), you can choose a ghost town. There are many abandoned or half
abandoned places in KS, OK, AR.

I sent Elena Filatova a donation a couple of years ago, I was that
impressed with this. There's a lot of really good info and images there
that no base hoax could accumulate. I think the controversy doesn't suggest
she never went to get her own images though, but that there might have been
several people finding ways in for various reasons, many before she went
in, and at least one extra person with her to take pictures, though why the
person who claimed that seems not to have heard of tripods and timers in
cameras is anybody's guess. I guess some people just needed this to be a
hoax, as some seem to need the moon landings to be a hoax.

While working in the Ukraine we used Bolymin LCDs, which had cyrillic

coding. If the company still exists(www.bolymin.com.tw) they might sell one
or send a sample.
