       but in August I will start working at a bank!
C.P.: Well that's interesting ... I think you'll never be out of cash!
      How many girl friends did you already have?
Luke: One and I am still a couple with her!

                                                !
Chuck: 8 to 10 ( I can't be tied to a girl for a long time!)
C.P.: What was your first Computer and do you still have it?
Luke: C-64 (sold).
Chuck: VC-20 (sold).
C.P.: Do you like Football?
Luke: Not too much!
Chuck: I play Football sometimes but not regularly!
C.P.: What did you do, as soon as, last summer Germany won the World-Cup in
      Italy?
L & C: We had a little party like everybody in Germany at that time!
C.P.: Do you like to travel?
L & C: Yes of course! New countries to visit = new pussies to f...!
C.P.: Describe your greatest holidays so far (where and when did you go?)!
Luke: Some years ago in France!
Chuck: 3 Years ago I went to the Canary Islands/Spain.

                                                !
C.P.: Where will you go for your summer holidays in 1991?
Luke: Camping at the sea together with all of TCC/RSI and some UFO guys!
Chuck: I will perhaps fly down to Spain again!
C.P.: What do you think about your town and country?
L & C: Well, our hometown Kiel is really cool! Not too big so you nearly know
       everybody in the dicos, etc ... It has also a big beach and a lot of
       other attractions! Germany is without any doubts the coolest country
       ... pretty women ... cheap alcohol ... best beer ... and cool guys!
C.P.: Would you like to live in another town or perhaps in another country?
       If so, in which one and why?
L & C: Well the only countries we would take in consideration are Sweden (nice
       girls, Hi to Strider!) and Spain+France (lovely climate!)
C.P.: What's your opinion about the re-unification of Germany?
L & C: It's shit bcoz we have to pay more taxes to equalize the standard of
       technics etc ... But once the eastern part is as well developed as the

                                                !
       western part we will also make some profit out of it. We just have to
       be patient! But we think the citizens of the eastern part are too
       greedy! Once they were lucky to be a part of Germany again - then with
       the next move they want to have a Mercedes, etc ... !
C.P.: Well, that's an interesting opinion!
      Do you think that german beer is the best in the world?
L & C: Yes of course! Nearly all german beers are superb and the price is also
       okay! (Messy to Reward+Slayer/SCX: Karjala SUX! Warsteiner rules!)
           And now let's pass to some questions about THE SCENE !
C.P.: Give us some info on your crew (when and who found it, members, etc ...)
L & C: Well, Fairlight is an old group with a real good reputation, etc ...
       We release sometimes some cracks, etc ... but the main thing is to have
       fun! In our group nobody is under any pressure!
       And that's what we really appreciate! No stress at all!
       It was found way back on the C-64 and then Strider continued the work

                                                !
       on the Amiga! Fairlight is still active on the C-64!
C.P.: Are the founders of Fairlight still in the group?
L & C: YES!
C.P.: When, how and why did you join Fairlight?
L & C: When Paradox died we wanted to continue as independent modem traders
       because we were sick of being members of any group so we just did some
       modem trading! And then we got lots of offers to join groups and we
       finally joined Fairlight because we knew some Fairlight members for a
       long time! And we also appreciated Fairlight's attitude towards other
       crews (no wars, etc ...) And we never regretted our decision!
C.P.: So, everyone now knows that you were in Paradox before joining
      FAIRLIGHT! Were you members of other crews even before Paradox?
Luke: Generation X, Beastie Boys (the real ones!) and Vision Factory.
Chuck: Abyss (C-64 group), Deathstar and Vision Factory.
C.P.: Why did Paradox die?

                                                !
L & C: Several reasons!
C.P.: What's your functions in Fairlight?
L & C: Leaders of the German FLT-Section, Modemtraders, Sysops of the
       Fuckshop; Fairlight's German Headquarter, sometimes original
       suppliers, etc ...
C.P.: Yeah ... I know ... lately you have supplied Rectangles.
      But now tell us something about the copyright laws in your country!
L & C: They are strict and the punishment is severe but the courts don't work
       together with the police very successful so the Danger is limited!
C.P.: Where you ever caught by the police?
Luke: 4 Times.
Chuck: 2 Times.
C.P.: Describe the birth, short life and death of the cooperation with
      Skid Row!
L & C: There has never been a cooperation! We just gave them the originals of

                                                !
       Prehistoric Tale and Mighty Bombjack so we released them as two
       co-productions!
C.P.: Is Exolon working on a new version of the StarTrekker?
L & C: We hope so!
C.P.: Give a definition of the so called Amiga Scene!
L & C: Lot of little kids playing games, lot of people who think they
       must be the number one to be accepted by anybody! Lot of people just
       living for their Computers (get a life!) and just some cool guys who
       don't take everything too serious! Come to our Beach and Boozin' Party!
       There you will only meet cool guys and no crazy computer freaks bcoz
       this party is no Computer party at all! Just having Fun!
C.P.: Yeah! I think that such party is more cool!
      What's your opinion about wars between groups?
L & C: They are cool! Then you can see how primitive guys can be when they
       argue with each other (especially on the Boards!)

                                                !
C.P.: When still in Pardox did you hate the guys in Angels and now that you
      are in a crew not at war with these guys has your opinion changed?
L & C: The war was first only between the french sections! After some time
       also the other sections got involved! We got to know most of the
       members through argueing with them! Best example Malzam & Andy! We
       exchanged some not really nicely meant words but after some time we
       came to the conclusion that drinking some beers together would be the
       best! Since then we didn't have any trouble with them anymore! We
       noticed that they are cool regardless in which group they are or will
       ever be! We think that's enough reffering to that special subject!
C.P.: Ok! Give the number for your board!
L & C: THE FUCK SHOP - GERMAN HEADQUARTER - +49-431-393624
       Sysops: LUKE & CHUCK.
C.P.: Which is the best BBS?
L & C: Well, there are a lot of cool ones like World Chaos, Thunderdome,

                                                !
       Motherboard, Alcatraz, Pleasure Point (just to name a few!)
C.P.: Who is the lamest guy you know?
L & C: Satan/Storm  - Competion is none!
C.P.: Any last words?
L & C: Yeah! Meet you all on our party!
