What utilities do you use the most? (Name 3 of them!)
- Dopus, Pagestream & Dreamterm.

How long have you been on the scene?
- Too long to remember :)

What do you think of the scene today?
- Too long between the releases, but I belive it will change to the better
  soon again. 

Do you think the scene has a future at all?
- Yeps, it will have, when the ppc cards is the new standard, and next 
  generation amigas will be released, hopefully gateway 2000, and phase 5
  will co-operate with the a/box, or gateway 2000 will make a new with 
  simular/better specs, to a unbeatable price :)

What do you think will become of the Amiga?
(What do you think of it's future?)
- I think the next generation amigas will be out in about 2 years, and I 
  guess, and hope we will get back our part of the market, so we will see
  some more releases again... Amigas is the best today, but sadly too 
  little supported, but the programs we have, are mostly good compared
  to pc's...

If you were the boss of Amiga International, what would you do?
- I would co-operate with Phase 5, and make the a/box the new official 
  next generation amiga, so it could be released in about 1 year time,
  then we do not need to wait too long on developing time, as mostly of
  the work is already done... And it's superb aswell... 
  But there should be only one standard, thats what unix with amigas, and
  it should stay like that aswell...

If you were the boss of Microsoft, what would you do?
- I would buy the amiga licences, trash all pc's, and start producing next 
  generation amigas instead! :)

If you had a gun in your hand, and Bill Gates was standing next to you,
what the HELL would you do?
- I would ask for some million $$$, then ask him to kill pc's [???] and
  start producing amigas, if he would not that, I would kill him :)

Name three sceners you think will become BIG soon:
- I have none favourites, I hope everybody will gain their deserved 
  success!

And finally; what do you think of Retro? :)
- I'll give it a chance... Everybody should get their chance, I know from
  experience that the first issue(s) are not the easiest, and it can't 
  get anything than better! (hopefully, that is)...
  Retro #1 was less than average, but it should have potensial with the
  right spirit, and upgrading it a bit now and then :)
  It is atleast space for many more magz on the amiga, as competion is 
  good, and could only result in better productions... It's not always
  the best ones which survives though...

Here you can add adverts, messages, comments, and similar:
- I guess a lot of you are missing a send from me, and think I have
  quit swapping, but I have not, so expect a comeback soon! :)
  Hopefully I will find all of your adresses, but I fear I have lost
  a great deal of adverts, as my hd have been a mess the last year.. :(
  Look out for Miracle #2, it will finally be re-released after 1 1/2 years
  of silence... With everything made from scratch again...
