         Interrogatory Performed by Kaosmaster of Darkage
                                                                       
	Hi Mj, would you like to introduce yourself ?
                                                                    
*mJ_IRIS*  Oki,  I'm 24 Years old boy from Norway, I'm a Swapper/Trader/Editor
in  IRIS,  and have been that for more or less some time now.  Before I joined
the amiga scene, I was also active on the c64 scene.                        
                                                                    
	What is your position in Miracle ?                                  
                                                                    
*mJ_IRIS* I'm main ed together with Darkhawk                               
	                                                                   
	How do you justify this enourmous delay ?                        
                                                                    
*mJ_IRIS*  Me,  Myself,  and  me again,was it that you wanted for reply?, Nah,
Ofcourse  It's  not  only  my  fault,  But I am too good to blame others, it's
delayed  becouse too many misunderstandings, and bad circumstanses, thats life
I guess :(                                                                
	                                                                   
                                                                     
	and what next ? it will be ever out ?                              
                                                                    
*mJ_IRIS*  I  hope  so,  but  for  the moment it's wery Unclear when that will
happend..  But as the plans are now, it will happend in future sometime.
                                                                    
	                                                                     
	oK, and on the demo section ? Iris seems quite asleep too!
                                                                    
*mJ_IRIS*  What?   How  can you say that, we are atleast more active than many
other groups :)                                                            
                                                                    
                                                                    
	are you sure ? ;)                                                    
                                                                    
*mJ_IRIS*  Last  Production was a 64kb for Tg98, and before that we have gived
out quite regualr Intros, and even 2 demos.                                  
	                                                                   
                                                                    
	and for 1998 ?                                                   
                                                                    
*mJ_IRIS*  There  will  for  sure  come out more for 98, for the moment we are
working  on  some  projects,  and  there will most probably be a demo out this
summer hopefully                                                         
                                                                    
	                                                                  
	That  sounds  great!  Btw..  has now we are attending here at WOA98...
what do you thing about that Amiga-Intel rumour ?                        
                                                                    
*mJ_IRIS*  As i understand it, The amiga os will be multi platform compatibel,
and  what i feel about that I'm not too sure yet, But why not I'd say just now
until I know more.                                                         
	                                                                   
                                                                    
	ok,  back  to  the  scene...  What do you think about the odiern top 5
Mags ?                                                                    
                                                                    
*mJ_IRIS* I think there is too few mags now, too littel competition, But those
wich are released, Is quite ok..                                  
	                                                                    
                                                                     
	and about demos ?                                  
                                                                    
*mJ_IRIS*  The  Demos  get's better coded by everyday, more effective codings,
etc..   But I do not say that effective code is enough for a demo, the overall
design is most important..                                                 
                                                                    
	                                                                  
	True!    did   you  see  all  1998  demos..   (  The  gathering  ones,
Symposium...  Rush Hours..  )                                  
                                                                    
*mJ_IRIS*  Yeps, I've seen the Gathering ones Live at The Gathering (I'm happy
I  did  not  miss  it!), I've seen mostly Symposium ones aswell, Unluckely the
best  Rush Hours ones bugs here, So I am unable to watch them yet :( , and you
did forget the Volcanic'98 Ones :)                                  
                                                                    
	                                                                     
	1998, Is a tangable fact that the scene is alive!  ,do you agree ?
                                                                    
*mJ_IRIS* The Scene is real for sure now, even that it's had it's down periode
for  some  time  now, but I guess it's crabbling on it's way up again now, The
amiga scene will surely newer die, whatever happends..  Just look at the c64..
There will always be more or less people loving their amiga :)
                                                                    
	                                                                   
	Yea!                                                             
                                                                    
	and what about the future ?                                  
                                                                    
*mJ_IRIS*  I'm  quite unsure about the future concerning new computers for the
moment, I just awaits more official news from amiga int.  To decide whatever I
should  buy  ppc  accelrator now, or wait for new amigas to arrive.  I need to
know  that  there will be compatibility atleast, so I do not throw my money in
the dustbin :)
