INTERVIEW ddf,faa,afa,aaf,faf,ffa,aff An interview with Zinko of Kefrens by Mike B of Magic for the Defiance Buzz issue Five... MB: Hey Zinko !! Do you want to answear some simply questions like how old You are and where You coming from? ZIP: NO!!!........ ;) Well Okay I'm more like 5983 years, and I come from the pyramids outside cairo....... Woopti.... eehhh.... Well Last time I recall to have become 20, and I actually live in a rather nice city*.... Called Slagelse in the land of the real vikings (thats true!!!! ;) beat it kingpin.. you blody american.. 8) ) Denmark! And to make it right I'm bouth a member of Kefrens & Polka Brothers..... We rule like mule... eehhh... heheh 8) *Great night life... MB: Sure great (or?) can You please tell us about Your Scene history? ZIP: That was a tough one, but I will try to give you a short version. It started way back in the good old C64 days, I was just playing around with some games. But one day a friend of mine came to visit me, he had brought a demo with him, which he of course showed me. After this I was really amazed, and we started getting interested in making demos ourselves. So after some days we made our first group, which we called "Rowdy". We where not very good at this point, but we were full of willpower. After some time we managed to release a couple of demos, but they where rather poor. Some more months went by, and "Rowdy" died. Another month passed and we decided to rebuild our group, but this time under the name "The Shadow Dreamers". We had gotten a little better at this point, but we only managed to release one demo called "Power Dream", After this demo was released I decided to move on to a bigger machine, so I bought myself an AMIGA 500. ( Oh yeah remember kick1.2!! ;) ) When I got this machine, I didn't really know any other Amiga owners, so it wasn't so cool. I only knew a few dudes, who didn't really get anything. So I didn't know anything about the scene, but one day a guy called Raistlin called me and asked if I would join their group as a swapper. This group was "Disorder". I joined, and one week later we released a megademo. (Remember that?) But the group soon lived up to its name, and it really got in disorder. At this point I had become really good friends with Xience of the Goonies 2041, (Hi Solnova! it's you!!) so I and Thunderbyte asked if we could join them, and they agreed. We joined a group which really seemed to be cool, but we soon discovered that all what they cared about were boards. ( No offene to my friends in the modem-scene, but they anly thought about UL!! ) We tried to get it going for the better, so we released a couple of intros and demos for them. But when I asked, if I could get a memberlist from the leader "Master ed". He just said "Tell me what you want and I'll get it for you." After this I got really pissed off. In the meanwhile Xience had joined Deadlock and I soon followed. Deadlock was a really friendly group, and I enjoyed my time there very much. But the group was slowly falling apart, so at The Party II I joined Majic 12. Majic 12 was also a nice group, but in the end I got really tired of it because there are way too many members, and too little friendship. The best parts of Majic 12 were M12 Hungary (Hello Zozo, Rack, and Avantage ) and M12 Sweden (Bop, bop, Burton, Zyx ) So finally at the Galemandsgilde '93 I joined the forces of Kefrens. This was and is a really great group with a perfect friendship, and everybody know each other much better this way! At this point Polka brothers also excisted, but more as a joke, but soon we decided to make the joke more realistic, and we made Polka Brothers a real group. And as you see we are dooing really well for the time beaing, and we hope our fans will keep supporting us in the future... Remember don't be sad, be mad!!!! I'm going insane, insane in my brain..... About my handle, I have always used it. It is almost the same as five in Spanish, but even more like Bazooka in Finnish, which happens to be the coolest language in the world. That's also why I must say "Hello!" to all the nice Finns who are helping me in learning it! "Terve" mates, keep the finnish commeing 8) ZZZZzzzz.....ZZZZzzz...... Don't you fall asleep now, you where the guy who started this in the first place!!!..... MB: Me?? You must be kidding I'm not tired. I'm bored to death so let's go on.. You will probably soon reach the top of the charts for being the best swapper. What do You do to be so popular? ZIP: That really a tough one!! I really don't know what to answer here, but I must say that I couldn't do without all my really good friends out there, and I must thank each and every one who vote for me... THANKS mates, I love you!! eeehhh.... well allmost.. ( he had to write "almost" becourse of his girlfriend!!! ;) ) Thanks again my friends, and may the power be with us all... MB: How much time do you spend on Your contacts? ZIP: Well that all depends on how much spare time I've got. But I spend almost every free minute with my computers. So it is hard to say, but according to my girlfriend I spend too much time with all that machinery... I think I spend atleast 2-3 hours aday on my computer, but as you know I'm a carpenter. and I'm fulltime imploied, and then I have alot of extra work that I do for friends, and their money!!! yeah.... Money talk ;) MB:I want You to describe what the following words means for You. ZIP: Elite: A nice person that know more than just how to put stamps on letters! Friendship: You can't live with it nor without... ;) Lamer: Not a newcommer to the scene, but somebody really stupid... Luckely I don't know many.... Others than you.. hehehheh.. No Offence.... just Kidding..;) Hacker: No comment!! but I know how too, and a couple of 'em Cyberspace: Really the next best thing to beeing there.. MB: Sometimes You read the following words from your new contacts "Hope that you are not one of those diskstealers". My opinion to this is that the disks is today so cheap so why care if You losing a disk or two. It's a risk You got to take. What's is your advise to people who are afraid for disk-thiefs? ZIP: Wohh. I'm getting scared!! Well no, if you try writing to me then you are sure of getting an answer, becourse I have never let an letter been unanswered.. But I really don't see the point, ofcourse it lame to keep the disks if you write 100% answer or stuff like that. But if you don't write anything, it on you own risk... Thats life... I don't will everytime I buy a lotteriticket eighter.. My advise if you wants a lucky number then you should try sending a letter to me. MB: Here some more stupid questions! I'll give you some picture-formats but there is some who not fits in this category. Your job is to sort out the bad formats. BMP, Iff, Mpeg, Jpeg, Tiff, FLC, Gif, Ham, PCX and DL ZIP: Mpeg, FLC, & DL these are animationformats... And remember I'm also swapping Pictures and Modules, so try your luck. all formats are welcome....... MB: Yes I know it was easy but let's go on with some serious qustions. What do you think about Girls / Womens in the scene? And why are they so few?. What's your advise to a noviser-girl? ZIP: I thinks it is really good for the scene, to have some girls. In someway I don't thinks that many girls are intrested in the scene itself, but I know many girls who use computers. But then again I ain't really the right one to answer this question, you should try to aske some active, and inactive scenegirls.. they are really the only ones capeble of answering... And my advise to the girls is, just come out of you hideouts, and do something about it... You could drop my a letter, and then I will try to get you more into the scene if you arfe intrested!!!
