What utilities do you use the most? (Name 3 of them!)
- A cracked version of Wordworth especially modified for Seenpoint, 
  an old version of Filemaster & MaxonAssembler for editing ASCII texts.
  (it´s true!)

How long have you been on the scene?
- I got my first Amiga back in 1988 and from 1991 on I was watching demos
  and reading magazines. I did some public-domain stuff before I finally
  dedicated all my time to the scene from 1993 on.

What do you think of the scene today?
- Sometimes I wish we had more sceners, more productions and more fun like
  in the good old days. However, the output of the scene is still ok and,
  if you´re not living for the scene only, it´s sometimes more than enough
  as you even haven´t the time to check out everything.

Do you think the scene has a future at all?
- There are always new people replacing the "heros of the past". Too bad
  only that everytime we get used to a new amazing group it fades away 
  abruptly. Just look at TBL or Artwork: they were very active during two
  years and now they´re almost gone. This happens practically to everyone
  and sometimes you are fed up with waving bye to old - and make new 
  friends. Generally I think the scene has a future and if it´s not on 
  Amiga we will celebrate our reunion on the PC.

What do you think will become of the Amiga?
(What do you think of it's future?)
- Honestly I don´t care about the future of the Amiga. I might care when 
  all guys around me are either changing the system or upgrading their Amiga
  (with PPC boards for example) as I would follow them. For me the scene
  is not about computers anymore but about the people and the whole
  "atmosphere".

If you were the boss of Amiga International, what would you do?
- If I could and it would be possible technically I would try to get 
  AmigaOS run on a typical PC (perhaps with a 68er as co-processor to
  maintain the compatibility). This would save the Amiga from death and
  link us with the only real computer-system there is: The IBM standard.

If you were the boss of Microsoft, what would you do?
- Make Windows more stable as it´s hell to work with!

If you had a gun in your hand, and Bill Gates was standing next to you,
what the HELL would you do?
- I would blackmail him. I mean he is quite rich and I´d like to be, too.

Name three sceners you think will become BIG soon:
- I hope that Zaac of Syndrome, the French artist, will make his way on 
  the scene. I like his graphics a lot!

Furthermore I appreciated the code-work of Klod/Nah-Kolor. Someone who can 
catch up with Zig/Floppy in the future perhaps.

Last but not least there is Wade of Gods. He is a good graphician but above
all he is an excellent editor. In my opinion he is/will be the best 
"newcomer" to the magscene the last two years!

And finally; what do you think of Retro? :)
- (* haven´t seen it yet... sorry ;) *)
