Interview with Chip/Powerline
......by Browallia/NLS.......

B: How would you like to introduce 
   yourself using pure letters? 

Chip: I'm a twenty year old coder,
      wasting all my spare time 
from work on my amiga ;P naah, 
I try to keep  a small life 
too :)  When I work I write 
code for  steenkin' peecees,
but I have to make a living too.


B: Any strategy for comming prods
   from you?

C: Well, well-designed perhaps? :) 
   We have no imminent release due 
to that  damn  thing called 'life' 
interfering all the time,but I try 
to write  (or update)  my routines 
from time to time, and I 
WILL release one or more 
demos, don't worry    :)  


B: Why are  Powerline 
   influenced by political 
messages in some productions?

C: We didn't want to be "just an-
   other demogroup", so we added 
something that others hadn't done 
before,  and that added some extra 
'feeling' to the demo, as we had a 
message to deliver instead of just 
some darn 3d-objects  rotating on 
screen  (even though we have had 
some 3d in the demos  we didn't 
prioritize it, it was just an-
other part of the presentation).  
By adding  a message to  our pro-
ductions  we  tried to make a dif-
ference, and quite  a few people 
seemed to appreciate it  :) 


B: What about your catch phrase 
   -Hardline against Hardline-?

C: I'm not sure who came up with
   that one(probably someone after 
listening to too much RATM :)  but 
its meaning is more that we if 
someone is hard against us, we 
pay 'em back with just as much. 
:) 


B: Any favorite color? 

C: Blue is close to hand :)



..Lets go on with some about your 
 comming party called Icing 1999..

B: I was at Icing 95,  and that
   party sure was specially and a
great success, crowded with compos
activities, groups, etc..
What do you expect from Icing 99?

Chip: Hopefully we will get close 
      to that feeling from  1995, 
but  scene  was a different place 
back then,  with much less gamers 
on  parties like this, and having 
so many sceners and few gamers 
added to the feeling a lot.


B: Does Icing differ from other
   Swedis parties? then..  why?

C: Hm, I'm not sure... 
   Maybe it's  because we  still 
have a  good connection with the 
scene? Even though  we get  more 
and more economical each year,at 
least  I try to keep myself  up-
dated and  involved as much as I 
can :) 

Many parties has degraded 
heavily due to that they  
ignore more and more 
the sceners and 
concentrate on 
the  'gamers'.


B: Can you give me one (very
   special)  reason to visit
Icing this year?

C: I'll be there? ;P    No, but 
   it will be a  fun experience, 
I can (almost :) guarantee that. 
  :)
   

B: So, good luck with this party-
   project. Want to add some last
words Chip? 

C: Hm, Nopes, 
   I better get to work now :P
