Chatting on  IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
is easy  to  find  some  VIS,  in  the
famous #amigascne channel.  A chat can
become an interview,  especially if an
editor is chatting with  Juliet/CNCD!


Randy> Hi! I  will like  to  interview
you   for SHOWTIME,  please,  make  me
happy!

Juliet> Everybody's interviewing me :)
i have nothing to say, but go ahead.

Randy> Since  you are very know,  your
past  story  is  not  a scoop.  Then I
start asking:  What  CPU do  you  like
most actually?

Juliet> It depends... Motorola  asm is
really good, but  Pentium got a lot of
power!

Randy> Do you think  the scene will go
100% pc?

Juliet> scene  will  never  go  purely
one machine  scene...  there's  always
people  supporting  machines like  c64 
and such...  amigascene  goes  smaller
and  smaller but  it  won't  disappear
totally.

Randy> Compare Amiga and Pc coding.

Juliet> PC has a fast chunky  display,
and in there's no point doing anything
without c, cos c-compilers make faster 
code than average assembler coder.

Randy> Sure. But is easier on Amiga to
make  well syncronized design, and the
aga  palette has 24bit instead of lame 
VGA palette. That make very nice amiga
demos.

Juliet> That's true... Amiga is better
on that field.

Randy> Well,  if PowerAmigas will have
a 200Mhz  CPU and  a chipset like  the
one  on  Playstation,  but  without  a
large market,  many coders will return
on amiga scene?

Juliet> Dunno... i  guess not. If they
have  learn to  code PC  i guess  they
will go on coding PC.  At least PC got
large market...there aren't much point
making amiga commercial stuff.

Randy> In fact,demos aren't commercial
stuff! I also  code on PC something as
business activity!

Juliet> True. But if you was to choose
between  a 1000  people  who see  your
demo or 10 people,  what would you do?

Randy> In fact... Amiga scene is elite
also  because we  are not  soo much :)
Do you think  Internet is a must for a 
scener?

Juliet> Well,  if  your group  is  all
over the  world it is  a must... but a
lot of scene people are living near me
so i don't need it so much.

Randy> What demo do you like, and why?

Juliet> Faktory  by VD  was very good,
and  of  course  Deep  Psilocybin  Mix
(Which  is  still  the best demo ever,
not least  for the music).  And  on PC
some Orange  and Jamm  stuff are good.
Amiga  demos are still better  than PC
demos.

Randy> Do you like "humoristic" demos,
like  Passengers/3le, or "videos",like
9 Fingers?

Juliet> 9 Fingers was good  as was 242
because they are different. Everything
different is a good thing.

Randy> In fact, Amiga is different! :)
Can  you say  something to  new coders
and all beginners in scene?

Juliet> Hmm... drink beer,  don't step
on flowers, they don't like it...
Make love not war.

Randy> Oh! alcool and sex is important
to make good routines?

Juliet> Of course...don't forget drugs
and rock'n'roll! :)

Randy> Do you think a girlfriend cause
a slow down in coding activity?

Juliet> Slow down of  course... people
are more important than coding.
Nobody likes  some computer  nerds who
spend  all their time  sitting  behind
their computers.

Randy> That is  clear.  Do  you  think
when scene people will be 40 years old
will go to parties, like now?

Juliet> May be. not all but still.

Randy> So scene people is abnormal?
Scene is not a youngs domain?

Juliet> I'm  not  saying  that.  Scene
people are not regular guys.

Randy> Ok...  just a bit  "different".
Do you have some idols?

Juliet> Kurt  Cobain,   Jim  Morrison,
Ismo Alanko (finnish rock star)

Randy> Do you hate something?

Juliet> War,  people who  want to give
orders  to  other   people,  violence,
Michael Jackson, Simply Red,...
Oh yes, and Prince!

Randy> Ok,  I finished questions.  You
are  free to write what you want: send 
messages, type sentences.

Juliet> Everybody  should  drink  beer
atleast once  in a week,  and remember
to grow flowers.

Randy> Thanks for chat and interview!
See you next time!

Juliet> :)
