Hi, guys from PowerDrive! It is now 4.03 am and we're at the Silents-Red Sector Party. Vision Factory and Fairlight are boozing around and we're gonna ask some questions to Ralph 124C41+ of PD. 
 
³-When was PowerDrive founded? 
¹PowerDrive was founded in December 1988 when the members of Castor Cracking Group (on the Spectrum and C64) all had got themselves Amigas. Our first release was a three parted demo called "Computers in control". 
 
³-What's your age and position in PowerDrive? 
¹Well, I'm 19 years old and I'm the lamer of the group. I'm also the SysOp of our Swedish HQ BBS. Apart from that I ocationally try to organize the group. Some people call me the leader and they're right! 
 
³-Tell us about the composition of PowerDrive. 
¹Members of PowerDrive are: 
Ralph 124C41+: Organizing, SysOp. Heradotos: Coding and electronics freak. Sonix - Music. Ramlosa, Hyperion, Biz - Swapping. Down, Rubycon, Gargamel - Coding. Charles, Ed - Graphics. Mike - Coding and Swapping. 
 
³-We didn't hear too much about you group in the last weeks/months. 
¹Yes, we're working on our MegaDemo so we haven't released any demos lately. But we have made a few compacts and ofcourse the swapping goes on as normal. 
 
³-What's your plans for the near future? 
¹Our MegaDemo of course and both Sonix and Hyperion will open BBSes. And I will start brewing my beer (the strongest beer north of Denmark). 
 
³-Where do you come from? 
¹Most of us live somewhere around Stockholm with some other all over Sweden. Then we have Mike who lives in Swizerland. 
 
³-What about this party? You met with a lot of cool chaps didn't you? 
¹Yeah, I think this party is one of the best I've ever been to. And I have met surprisingly many old friends here. 
 
³-Okay, I'm very thirsty right now... I think you gonna offer me some drinks... 
¹No, I don't think so. I've finished all the beer by myself. (burp) 
 
³-Will PD(!) take part in the democompetition although your coder were playing all the day? 
¹No, we save the good demos for the MegaDemo and there's no ide to compete with a demo that have zillo chance of winning. We'll probably release my silly party demo but since I was drunk when I coded the sprites and I'm drunk now I don't think it's a good idea to try... 
 
³-Will you open some sections in Middle-Europe (Suisse, Italia, France,... )? 
¹We have a member in Swizerland but that's quite far from a section. But if there are some who are interested, why not? 
 
³-I see you are dead-drunk... which beer do you drink? 
¹I've just finished a bottle of Flensburger Pils (donated to the "Keep Ralph drunk society" by Paradise and Level 4). But normaly I prefer beers like Carnegie Porter, Guinness, Kaiserdom Edel... but Kronenbourg is nice too... Yes, fuckin french beer like 1664! 
 
³-What do you think about group wars? 
¹If they really mean what they say it's of course not very funny, but I think warring will go away when they mature. 
 
³-Does it mean that groups such as Quartex haven't reached maturity? 
¹Yep, it's childish to have wars over such tiny matters. 
 
³-What do you think about Storm's attitude? 
¹They still haven't proved to be "the fucking best"... 
 
³-Any last words? 
¹Be cool, if you can't be cool, be cold... cool... fuckin cool... we are goin to drink something now,...
