What utilities do you use the most? (Name 3 of them!)
- PhotoShop, Lightwave 3D 5.0, Bryce 2, 3D-Studio release 4.

How long have you been on the scene?
- Four years, on and off...

What do you think of the scene today?
- It has become less platform dependent, but still we have the old "Intel
  Outside" mentality (which might be true; won't discuss this here...) 
  which is really a very infantile way of saying you prefer one platform 
  to another. But, I think this will disappear, and the scene wil become 
  a friendlier place to recide, no matter what CPU processes your data.

Do you think the scene has a future at all?
- The computer-"underground" will always prosper, but don't think it will
  have the same format as it does today! With the introduction of e-mail,
  iRC and WWW obsoleting swapping per. snail-mail and with that also many
  modem-traders, this is already a significant change to the appearance of
  the scene. The scene of the future will also be non-platform reliant,
  and so opens way for more free thinking and artistic freedom, meaning
  that the demos of the future will run on any machine (Java??) and will
  be more focused on the artistic performance rather than ability to
  wringe the assembler for more fps...

What do you think will become of the Amiga?
(What do you think of it's future?)
- The Amiga has a future as long as there are people who use it - of 
  course; if those damn companies that manufacture and sell it could have
  put their act together and come up with a way to make it cheaper and 
  advertised it better it would have prospered - but in any case; if my 
  presumptions about the multi-platform scene is true, the Amiga can live
  happily right besides the likes of PC's, Mac's, Alpha's, AGI's etc...

If you were the boss of Amiga International, what would you do?
- What would I do... I am certain the the current boss is doing everything
  he can (lest he's a complete moron!), but I would most certainly focus 
  on the younger part of the market (not the gamers 'cause they get their 
  parents to buy a loaded PC for all their gaming...), but the scene 
  itself... I'd try to launch a world- (or at least europe-) wide survey
  to see what the scene thinks and wants and how it looks at the future, 
  for when push comes to shove; the only thing holding the Amiga afloat is
  the scene and the always present sceners. Software-houses have abandoned
  the Amiga and the hardware-houses are becoming fewer by the minute...

If you were the boss of Microsoft, what would you do?
- Wallow in the incredible amounts of money I have made these last few 
  years!! Honestly, what did you expect from this question..? 
  Seriously though...I'd start divisions working on producing software and
  hardware for a number of old-but-still-kicking platforms including the 
  Amiga, Mac and others... This way I could have used my inredible 
  business-talents for something useful for once!! Then I would have 
  delayed the release of Windows 98 until it was *FINISHED*!! Releasing 
  unfinished products and the releasing a dozen "Service-packs" 
  (read:patches and bugfixes) is NOT a good way to build a reputation! 

If you had a gun in your hand, and Bill Gates was standing next to you, 
what the HELL would you do?
- I'm no murderer, so I might consider holstering the gun and let Bill go
  with a warning...
  (This was a STUPID question; Who'd you think would get *that* close to
  BG with a GUN in his hand?? Straighten up!)

Name three sceners you think will become BIG soon:
- Bridgeclaw, Sixpack and Odin

And finally; what do you think of Retro? :)
- Never seen it...

Here you can add adverts, messages, comments, and similar:
- To everyone in Gods: I AM still alive!! I just don't have enough
  hours in my day!!

  Good luck on your mag, boys, but don't forget! Gods will release the 
  famous D.I.S.C. will be out just past xmas, so for your own sake; B 
  known before that!! ;)))

  I'll be watching your progress!!
