What utilities do you use the most? (Name 3 of them!)
- Dir, Execute and AsmOnev1.29

How long have you been on the scene?
- For about 2 years or so.

What do you think of the scene today?
- What should I say?  
  I really like the scene.  But it is decreasing in pure mass for every day.
  Especially here in Norway.  We don't have many groups left, but those who
  are left are more or less active.  At Kindergarden, which by the way is
  the coolest party ever, only about 100 sceners turned up (pure Amiga
  party). And that isn't much. 
  But the scene is of course I nice place to be.

Do you think the scene has a future at all?
- Yeah, but not as we see it today. The scene is getting more public and
  more commercial.  When I started, and that's not a long time ago, the
  scene was a more or less unknown phenomena.  Now a days everyone have
  heard of The Gathering.  I dont like that.  So the scene will probably
  survive as a Quake/Game scene where people might get so advanced that
  they write QuakeC.  There might also be a demo scene, but that will be
  even smaller than it is today (both PC and Amiga).

What do you think will become of the Amiga?
(What do you think of it's future?)
- I hope the best, and I think the best. But I am not so sure. Hopefully
  they will manage to get the Amiga back where it belongs.  I don't want to
  write programs for PC in the future.  The Amiga is an outdated super
  machine.  The machine in itself must be replaced, but we can keep some
  things, like the AmigaOS - the AmigaOS is very good.  And the userbase
  is very special.  But the AGA-standard is to slow, and the sound is 
  quite outdated. But by shifting out those few parts, we might see some
  light in the tunnel...

If you were the boss of Amiga International, what would you do?
- Start producing a new machine fast, and advertised.  

If you were the boss of Microsoft, what would you do?
- Sitting in my office drinking coffee.  And spent some money on people
  who really needed it.  The world is too unfair to just sit and watch it
  die.  If I where Bill, I would have spend the money doing SOMETHING, 
  and even though something is lesser than EVERYTHING it is greater than
  NOTHING. Bill Gates is a capitalistic beast.  And really, I dont want
  to be him. I dont want to be a part of that system neither. 
  No Microsoft job for me! :)

If you had a gun in your hand, and Bill Gates was standing next to you,
what the HELL would you do?
- He he, I am a pacifist, so I wouldn't shoot him, if that was what 
  you were hoping for... I would probably tell him to wash my room or
  something... ;)

Name three sceners you think will become BIG soon:
- What kind of a question is that?
  Everyone have the potential to become BIG.  It is just a matter of being
  creative. Therefore it is impossible to name some sceners that will 
  become BIG. Everyone have the potential. 
  It is just what they make out of it.

And finally; what do you think of Retro? :)
- Wish I knew :) Havent read it! :)
