Handle:     Hardfire
Group(s):   Spaceballs

Age:        20
Occupation: Musician, Graphician (and Swapper when I can find time for it.
            That means quite never, compared to my passed activities of
            swapper with 200 contacts...:)


What utilities do you use the most? (Name 3 of them!)
- Cygnus Ed 3.5, DirOpus 4, Protracker 2.3d

How long have you been on the scene?
- More than 5 years... I began on the good old A500... Then followed the 
  mass in favou of the great A1200... And now own an Amiga & a PC... 
  Due to work reasons...

What do you think of the scene today?
- Really smaller than before... It has lost some of his most talented 
  members... Actually, today, the level of graphics, music,... It's pretty
  good, but the talent is not often here... Honestly, I prefer a huge 32
  colors picture by Walt or Hof to a 24 bits picture with a not very
  original theme by Lazur...

Do you think the scene has a future at all? 
- Yyes, of course it has... Look at the C64 or CPC scene... They are still
  alive, with their all time fans... And it will never be the same on 
  Amiga... ...Until all Amiga computers will have their components burnt
  after 100 years of intensive utilisation... :)

What do you think will become of the Amiga?
(What do you think of it's future?)
- I don't believe that the Amiga Power PC will get any success...  
  And for the moment, I think there won't be any new Amiga which will 
  get any commercial success...

If you were the boss of Amiga International, what would you do?
- I would ask myself why I'm working in a such 'without future' company...

If you were the boss of Microsoft, what would you do?
- I would think how many guys I should employ to count all the 
  dollars I earned...

If you had a gun in your hand, and Bill Gates was standing next to you,
what the HELL would you do?
- I would do what every intelligent person would do at my place:
  "Hey, come on, bloody Bill... Do you see my gun ?!?... 
  You should fear it... Your multitasked actions are full of bugs... 
  You know that well... You can't change that situation like you would do
  it easily on a little Amiga... You should have choosen the right side 
  years ago... Die, fuckin' asshole !!! (CENSURED)"

Name three sceners you think will become BIG soon:
- -> Muffler/HAUJOBB: It tooks some time before he got maturity in 
  his mods... But now, he arrived to that state, and with his quality 
  productivity, he can climb the charts like his brother Heatbeat did 
  in 1992-93..
  -> Kidlove/HAUJOBB: Good graphician, even GREAT graphician... 
  He seems to love the Ra style, and feel it well to be able to realise
  fascinating pictures in a nice but not so personnal style... 
  -> Revisq/ANADUNE: He already began to climb the charts... 
  Nowadays, every good demo from Poland contains a powerful tune by that
  cool musician. Everyone learnt to appreciate his nice melodites through
  his musicdisk SOUND GARDEN, and now, he's in position to compete with
  the legendary tracker musicians...

And finally; what do you think of Retro? :)
- Honestly, I had never heard of it before receiving an email from the 
  Retro staff with that interview...
