?                      Done by ?THE FREAK / PRESTiGE^VANiTY
  
?  Welcome to what we hope to be a regular column in PacMag, the interview
  column. Here you will find interview with the persons who were number one
  in the charts. Naturally there will be months where the top dude is the
  same as last month. Whenever this happen, I will of course not go through
  all the questions again, I will only ask a few.
  
?  But the thing is, last months fastest/coolest trader was ?Neil/FLT.? I have
  spoken a bit with Neil, in order to reveal all his inner secrets. And it
  goes a little some like this... :
  
?  #[01]## Name In Real Life ???
  
?  NEiL! (Niels!)
  
?  #[02]## Previous Handles ???
  
?  Warp, and don't you laugh! (oh we won't -ed.)
  
?  #[03]## Previous Groups ???
  
?  Danish Gold (C64), Wizax 2004 (C64), Zetrex (C64), 2000 AD (C64)
 



?
?  #[04]## How Long Have You Been In The 'Scene' ???
  
?  8 years
  
?  #[05]## What Boards Do You Call Often ???
  
?  Mirage, The Ghetto, Pirates Haven, GOA, (US) Plastic Passion (DK)
  
?  #[06]## Do You Consider Yourself Being ELITE ???
  
?  Nope, I'm the biggest lamer in DK!
  
?  #[07]## Which Words Do You Use Most Often When You Chat ???
  
?  CTRL - X (the key-combination to exit chat -ed.)
  
?  #[08]## Who Do You Consider Your Best Friend In The DK Elite Scene ???
  
?  Tarzan and Shock
  
?  #[09]## Who Do You Think Is The Worst Person In The DK Elite Scene ???
  
?  No Comment! Oh well, Tarzan and Shock, perhaps ;-)
 



?
?  #[10]## Do You Believe That The Amiga Scene Is About To Die ???
  
?  Yes, there are not enough good software released.
  
?  #[11]## What Is The Best Party You Have Ever Been To ???
  
?  TRSI's party in Glostrup, '89
  
?  #[12]## What Is The Worst Party You Have Ever Been To ???
  
?  Ikari's party in Tommerup, '88
  
?  #[13]## How Much Money Have You Spent On Computer Equipment ???
  
?  Around 75.000 dkr, I guess.
  
?  #[14]## How Do You Feel About PC's ???
  
?  It's quite ok for SOME tasks, but still a bit long in the tooth. The Amiga
  is a lot better for trading though - but lots of software does come out
  on the PC, so I had to have one.
 



?
?  #[15]## What Is Your Favorite Meal/Drink ???
  
?  My favourite meal is 'Beef Florentina'. Drink... hm... Gin... or maybe
  Whiskey.
  
?  #[16]## How Do You Cope With The Danish Weather (35 degrees etc.) ???
  
?  I don't! Too damn hot!
  
?  #[17]## Which Eyecolour Does The Girl You Date Have ???
  
?  Brown.
  
?  #[18]## Plastic Passion And Nonstop Up'n'Down Seems To Be A Bit Unfriendly
          Towards Each Other. How Do You Feel About Nonstop/Energy
  
?  Well, I will not really compare the 2 boards as Plastic Passion is a much
  bigger 5 node system. But OK, Energy is quite cool though.
  
?  #[19]## How Do You Feel About Skinheads ???
  
?  Erm, I don't really sympatize with them. 
 


?
?  #[20]## Tell me the story about Blackhawk trying to stop you from selling
          modems in Denmark. Are your modems genuine 28k8, etc ???
  
?  Well, you might have seen some of the text-files which Blackhawk wrote. In
  one particular text, he accused me of reselling modems bought on SYSOPDEAL
  and later that the same modem were stolen. (Quite confusing).
  Furthermore, he seems to know more about my modems and how I import them
  than I do. Just to prove the ignorance of all the crap, he writes that my 
  16k8 Duals  can only run 9600 baud. BUT, lateron he mentions that they 
  actually are V32.bis which means 14400 baud.
  
  I think it's quite lame, as all the USRobotics 28.800 V.FC modems I sell
  are superior to the other trash modems other people sell.
  
  I don't know why he can't cope with a bit of competition. I never wanted any
  kind of 'war', but if he can't handle the situation better, it's just too
  bad. It will all be cleared when people start using my modems. Then the
  word will spread, telling everyone that they are in perfectly working
  order, just as the USRobotics 16.8 Duals that I've been importing for 
  the last 3/4 year or so. 
  
  But the main reason for all this crap is that I'm selling these modems quite
  a bit under the normal price. 
 


?
?  #[21]## What is your Favourite game ???
  
?  The Settlers, I believe.
  
?  #[22]## I hear you are about to open a board, what will the name be ???
  
?  DaneLaw, and it will be a three-node PC board featuring V.FAST. 
  
?  #[23]## Anything You Would Like To Add ???
  
?  Well, if somebody is in need of a USRobotics 28.800 V.Fast modem, he 
  should contact me, for a price around 2100 dkr.
  
  -----------------------------------------------------------
  
?  I would like to thank Neil for answering all the questions without 
  hesitation. Also a greet to Wardancer for making the first draft of
  this questionnaire. It will be exciting to see if Neil/FLT can maintain 
  the top spot, so why not tune in to the charts, and everything will 
  be revealed...
