CJ: What do you like most in TEK?
BA: It is a small, but productive group. We have a lot of fun together. Most of
the members live nearby, so we can realise most of our ideas
BI: The same
CJ: In which group would you want to join if you can?
Mega Interview Scession - Page 29 of 36
BA: I would not join any other group, cause I founded TEK six years ago. Most of
the other groups are too big and not productive at all.
BI: If any, I would join AGNOSTIC FRONT, coz they're totally freaked out.
CJ: Which group would you never want to join?
BA: All the big ones (Anarchy, Silents, Razor...) it is too hard to get any of
your stuff into the productions. You do not know too many of the other
members and you do not know what's going on in that group, cause it is too
big.
BI: I would not like to join any modem trader groups at all.
CJ: Do you like copy parties? What about this one?
BA: I like them very much. This one has just started, so I can't say too much
about it. Could be bigger, I can't find the toilett and I'm hungry.
BI: I would possibly like this one, but I don't know, because I am filling in so
many vote sheets.
CJ: What do you think about the scene generally?
BA: It has become too much business like (compared to 1988-1990...)
BI: Without modem suckers, it could be great!
CJ: Do you have a modem? Which boards do you call?
BA: I do not have a modem...
BI: I've got a 2400 baud modem, only for calling my local BBS. (It's a PD BBS,
no trader board)
CJ: What do you think about BlueBoxing?
BA: It is a fine thing if you have a working one. but nobody should give it to
any lamer, because all the lines will busy again and the companies will
build in even more filters. If only some guys have working blueboxes, it's
o.k.
BI: After it became so difficult to call via blueboxing, I stopped any any
phreaking activity.

CJ: Did you ever had problems with the police?
BA: Luckily the police never caught me. But I'm legal now. You should know
that you can get caught by the police. So you should not be angry about it,
if you're stupid enough to get caught.
BI: I'm 100% legal :-)
CJ: The PC is coming more and more. Will the Amiga die?
BA: Sooner or later yes, but it will survive quite a long while (like C64)
BI: PC will survive the Amiga. (Sob.)
CJ: How could I contact your group, if I wanted to do that?
BA: Simply write to our address, which is in our productions and on our
stickers...
BI: Swapping: PO BOX 1402 - 6470 Buedingen - Germany
CJ: Do you have some last words or greetings...
BA: Hi to all you guyz out there. It was fun to fill in this sheet. A bit diffe-
rent from other ones...
BI: Greetings to all of you and the ones I forgot. Last words: We are TEK and
you suck!
