BA: Music, Some Graphics BI: Coding, Graphics, Some Musics CJ: Do you read other mags than CJ? BA: None, due to lack of interest... BI: I read the ZINE, that's all.

BA: I do not like games at all (maybe best are POPULOUS II & PINBALL DREAMS) BI: I've got only two games: Populous II and Four-in-a-row. Most of the time I hate games. CJ: What's your favourite BA: Demo Coder : Spy Sounder : Cugar GFX Man : Benno BI: Demo Coder : Spy Sounder : Cugar GFX Man : Banana CJ: What do you like most in TEK? BA: It is a small, but productive group. We have a lot of fun together. Most of the members live nearby, so we can realise most of our ideas BI: The same CJ: In which group would you want to join if you can? Mega Interview Scession - Page 29 of 36 BA: I would not join any other group, cause I founded TEK six years ago. Most of the other groups are too big and not productive at all. BI: If any, I would join AGNOSTIC FRONT, coz they're totally freaked out. CJ: Which group would you never want to join? BA: All the big ones (Anarchy, Silents, Razor...) it is too hard to get any of your stuff into the productions. You do not know too many of the other members and you do not know what's going on in that group, cause it is too big. BI: I would not like to join any modem trader groups at all. CJ: Do you like copy parties? What about this one? BA: I like them very much. This one has just started, so I can't say too much about it. Could be bigger, I can't find the toilett and I'm hungry. BI: I would possibly like this one, but I don't know, because I am filling in so many vote sheets. CJ: What do you think about the scene generally? BA: It has become too much business like (compared to 1988-1990...) BI: Without modem suckers, it could be great! CJ: Do you have a modem? Which boards do you call? BA: I do not have a modem... BI: I've got a 2400 baud modem, only for calling my local BBS. (It's a PD BBS, no trader board) CJ: What do you think about BlueBoxing? BA: It is a fine thing if you have a working one. but nobody should give it to any lamer, because all the lines will busy again and the companies will build in even more filters. If only some guys have working blueboxes, it's o.k. BI: After it became so difficult to call via blueboxing, I stopped any any phreaking activity. Mega Interview Scession - Page 30 of 36 CJ: Did you ever had problems with the police? BA: Luckily the police never caught me. But I'm legal now. You should know that you can get caught by the police. So you should not be angry about it, if you're stupid enough to get caught. BI: I'm 100% legal :-) CJ: The PC is coming more and more. Will the Amiga die? BA: Sooner or later yes, but it will survive quite a long while (like C64) BI: PC will survive the Amiga. (Sob.) CJ: How could I contact your group, if I wanted to do that? BA: Simply write to our address, which is in our productions and on our stickers... BI: Swapping: PO BOX 1402 - 6470 Buedingen - Germany CJ: Do you have some last words or greetings... BA: Hi to all you guyz out there. It was fun to fill in this sheet. A bit diffe- rent from other ones... BI: Greetings to all of you and the ones I forgot. Last words: We are TEK and you suck!
