Interview with 
 Whizzkid / Oops! 
       b\/  
Smaugur / NLS.

Hello Whizzkid! 
Its time to answer some scene 
          smelling questions!

Smaugur: What Amiga equipment do 
         you have?

Whizzkid: I still have my first 
          A500 which I  unfor-
tunately blew up some years ago, 
next there's my old burnt out 
A2000, I recently bought a CDTV 
and on my desk is my A4000/040


S: Now tell me when and how you
   got interested in the  Amiga 
   scene?

W: I started off as a computer
   addict ever since my dad bought
a 64 computer. I had one for years
and then a friend in school showed
me his a500,  i was hooked, and we
started a small group.  (never did
anything tho, i was still on the 
c64) Then when i was 15 yrs old 
i bought my first amiga, the all-
mighty a500 with a stonking 1 mb 
of memory. 
I started all sorts of weird stuff 
and partial games..  As i got to 
know more people via bbs'ses we 
got a little more active. and the 
members of our groups changed. I 
split the old group,formed another 
group together with prodigy, which 
later became known as Oops!


S: And how did you come up with 
   your special name Oops! ?

W: Well, 
   Prodigy and i where sitting at 
my place,  going through the dic-
tionary,  trying if we could come 
up with a cool name by picking 
words at random.
After doing that for a while, with 
no 'impressive name' found yet, we 
tried to think of another 'catchy' 
name.. and we figured an everyday 
term would be useful.   Oops! 
immediately  jumped to mind..

S: What are you mostly doing when 
   you are sitting in front of 
your Amiga a late night when 
it's raining outside?

W: I havent been using my amiga 
   lately (shame shame) but I 
usually dabbled with Amos. 
(Yes i think amos is cewl, 
even though its slow,   blitz 
wouldnt run on my computer 
anyway, its not about the 
tool thats used for creating..
its the creating that counts!)
I also used Lightwave quite a lot, 
sometimes play games. and whenever 
i can get my hands on a camera 
i'd make weird movies or stop-
motion animations with my digi-
tizer.And i've spend many a sleep-
less night on IRC


S: Tell me which production 
   in the name of Oops! you 
are most proud of.

W: I think that would be Beeps,our 
   chip-tune pack (its the only
thing we actually made a 2nd part 
for! 8P (plug plug.. all our 
releases are available from our 
website, http://oops.in.nl    
(its handy if you work for an 
          internet provider 8)


S: Which parties have you attended 
   during your scene years?

W: I attended 
   Somewhere in Holland II 
and I've been to Bizarre '97 
(as part of the amiga-organizers) 
and i could usually be found on 
the  Interexpo  (which isnt a 
scene-related gig, but its 
good fun 8)


S: Why do you like the 
   Little Mermaid-movie so much?

W: I dont know 8) 
   I havent watched it in ages,
but my page gets lots of  hits,
and since i'm hosting it for 
free, why not? 8)


S: How do you want the new Amiga 
   to be like?

W: Well,  it should kick the pc's 
   arse bigtime, and it should be 
cheap enough for me to be able to 
afford it.


S: Are your group planning any 
   release?

W: We're not quite sure yet. There 
   has been talk about a coop 
demo-thingy with Maximum but 
i dont have all the details 
on that...  stay tuned 8)


S: Do you have any final words 
   Wizzkid?

W: Yes if there's anyone out there 
   wou can fix my  a4000 for free. 
drop me a line!!!!!
