  Zinko is known as a swapper and sysop of his fab. bbs "Northern Palace".
  His career leaded through many respected and famous groups like Kefrens,
    majic 12 and even Polka Brothers. Let's focus on him for a while...

?   Like a lot of people you started on the scene with swapping,
    Do you still send some stuff with faked stamps?:)

!   Well, I started out way before Napoleon and i was really active in
    the mail swapping scene until one year ago or so when i started to
    running The Northern Palace more or less!!
    Today I swap a bit with my old and really good friend, but i
    don't have much time for that kind of stuff anymore even though it was
    really cool.I really enjoy it a lot and i gained really good friends all
    over Europe. I sometimes visit them if and when I can... about fakeing
    stamps! I dont need to since i dont swap that much nomore!

?   Is that true that you are also coding and making some modules??
    What haven't you done then??

!   Well, I do a bit about all but I'm so bad still .I manage to release
    a couple of intro and once in a while when I got nothing else to do I
    still play around a bit with all my old sources! But I have a bad habit of
    only getting to run on my old A500 huhu! Still it's nice since I got a lot
    help from my group mates. And if you haven't already got a good laugh then
    get my intros and you'll be lying on the floor.they sucks...hehe...  so as
    you see there aint much I havent tried to do!I really love to do stuff like
    that, its just a pitty I don't know more about it huhu :)

?   Have you only been on the amiga scene?

!   No I started out back in the good old c64 day where i was cracking
    like hell. that was even befor we started using intro! We only wrote one
    line telling this was cracked by Zinko blah blah! but we soon started to do
    intros and small demos,but then i decided to sell my c64 and bought an A1000
    Yessss those where the days! :) and I never regreded it! its only a pitty i
    sold if for my a500! :)

?   Our readers may not know your current function. Can you tell us
    more about your modem activities?

!   These days, as most of the scene know, i'm the sysop of the Northern
    Palace. It's really taking up most of my time and i also got a lot to
    do in my real life, so my computer must wait... in this world money still
    has alot to say! :( but in general i prefer to chat with all my good friend
    around the world! to me Friendship is still the most important thing, even
    thought some people doesn't seem to agree on that point!

?   How many megs/week and how many users/day do you have in
    general?

!   In average i receive 100-150 megs pr. week and I've got 60 to 120
    calls pr. days. by this chance I must thanks each of everyone for their
    great work here! I REALLY LOVE YOU ALL!!!

?   Do you think that Irc and Telnet will mean the end of the modem
    trading?

!   No, there 'll be real modem trading as long as there are people
    alive. And many free callers don't care about the net much! But I must say
    I like it there!!! its always fun and if you feel down you could always go
    on there and kick someone! hhhu (REKALLlllllllllll;)

?   What was the name of the first bbs you ever logged on?

!   The first bbs i was on, hmm that was if i recall right "Nonstop
    up'n'down" before energy was busted! :(( it was really a pitty even thought
    he had alot of enemys, that was not the way it should have ended!! :(

?   As most of the scene know you are also in Kefrens & Polka Brothers
    is there still life in those groups or how is it with that!?

!   Why yes there is, even thought most of us are working pro. with
    computers these days, so there aint much activities when we get home. But as
    you might also know we always saw this as a hope with no preasure, and we
    always have 1 mio. things going on. but we are never satisfied and most of
    the time it all ends up in the scrap pile. but dont worry, we will be back
    sooner than you all think, we got some thing really big under construction
    we only need the time to finish it! and then it will hit the scene! ( we
    are also quite lazy :)

?   Beside the scene what do you do for a living!?

!   Well if some of you out there shouldn't already know, i'm a carpenter
    and that mean alot of work all day, and even more black work! somehow you
    gotta make a living huhu :)

?   thanks jack for answering our little questions! is there anything
    else you would like to add!?

!   It has been my pleasure and thanks for thinking of me! A quick hello
    to all my friends out there and ofcourse to you!!! See ya around the world!

PS: this reminds me of one big bbs add huhu :) hihihiih:)
