     MAN! In other words...@ZIKE! is my  we joined a group called XL Crackers (a
     name! I still go the school,but...  pretty lame group!). After  a  while we
     Im often sick (!)...                formed THE SILENTS! At that time things
 TT: How  long  have  you   been   into  were pretty cool, but ... After seening
     computers ?                         some grx  on the  Amiga  I  decided  to
FLT: 'bout 5 years now...                buy one......  That  was   the   ending
 TT: Which was your first computer ?     of my 64  career (puh!). My first amiga
FLT: I started with a cool(?) commodore  group was SPHINX  (awesome  on the 64!)
     64 with taperecorder(!).Then,about  and  then NORTHSTAR (I  guess  most  of
     a  year  l8r I got hold of a cheep  you have  heard  of them!) After NS^FLT
     1541!!  Then  things  started   to  broke   up  I  and  CELEBRANDIL  joined
     happened.I formed a group together         @--@F@A@I@R@L@I@G@H@T@--

 TT: How  Long  have  you   been   into
     modeming ?
FLT: Erm... I got my  first 14400  baud
     modem in the summer of 89.

 TT: What's your present equipment ?
FLT: One A2000 with  100  MB  harddrive
     (2 diskdrives),2 14400 HST modems.
     And I also have a computer to play
     with (you know Im running my board
     on the A2000),a A500 (1 MB) + ext.
     drive + 2 to joys (thanxx to Mark/
     SubWay  and  The  Baron/DefJam for
     suppling em!).  NOTE! Im not rich!
     Im just not poor.  And also, I got
     disks allover  my  floor  (keep on
     sending!)

 TT: When and how was Fairlight Formed?
FLT: FairLight  is  one  of the oldest,
     STILL  ACTIVE,  groups.   FLT  was
     formed by  STRIDER  and  The BLACK
     SHADOW after  the  3  internal WCC
     party  (eastern  1987).  They  got
     bored of some members  (especially
     Nike)  So, on  the train back they
     formed FAIRLIGHT! The first member
     was GOLLUM  (THE  BEST  CRACKER ON
     THE 64). Everything was cool.  FLT
     grew and got pretty  famouse  (and
     still is!)  on  the  good  old 64.
     After  a  while  Strider  and  TBS
     bought amigas...And then the amiga
     division was formed!  Some members
     joined  some  left  (like  in  all
     groups)  Look  at  quiz #8 for the
     current AMIGA FairLight memberlist

 TT: You  have  been into the scene for
     quite awhile now, Have  the  scene
     change anything in your eyes ?
FLT: Jupp!  The  beer  is   much   more
     expencive  now... Nah!  Seriously!
     Now days there is more competition
     Warp the original and send  it  by
     modem to the cracker  and  let him
     crack is fast as hell. Now  it's a
     matter of hours!  No time for HIGH
     QUALITY   versions!  Nobody  cares
     about  the  length  since   almost
     every fucking game is track loaded
     Because of  this,  there are every
     now and then screwed up versions.

 TT: Who are the members  in  Fairlight
     and what are their functions ?

     we  still  got  a  cool  crew.....
    @THE@LINK!  (haha!  Thanx  for  the
     free ad!)

 TT: Don't you miss  the old scene when
     everybody had a chance of reaching
     the top?
FLT: SURE I LIKED IT!  But  we  have to
     keep on going...
