NORAD OF ANARCHY This is a chat with Norad/Anarchy, the sysop of Anarchy's European HQ, Aces High. C = Coral N = Norad N - This is NORAD, How can I help you C - Ok, Lets go... Well... Please give me some facts about yourself Like your name, earlier groups and so on.. N - Facts about myself Hmm, well my real name is Martin and I'm 20 years old. Btw, my birthday is May the 28th! So please greet me, heheh. Well earlier groups Dunno. Eh, let's see now... Virtual. No, Acrophobia or somthing first, then Virtual for 5-6 months and then independent some months and now it's (A)narchy! And I hope I'll stay there!! C - Ok! Hm.. Why did you join Anarchy N - Well, I joined Anarchy because I have wanted to join Anarchy for a long time, since it was and IS, my favourite group among all other groups around. And... well I wrote to Conquest after seeing the Spring Melodies music disk and asked if I could join, but it took a long time before answer and then finally NHp called me up and said that I was in! And believe me, I was sooooo happy!! :) C - HA! Is it true that Nhp has got a board too N - Well both yes and no, it is a private board for Anarchy members only, but the truth is that the board hasn't opened yet! C - Aha! I suppose that there will be some new cool prods from you soon. Can you give me and the readers some facts! N - Well, I have got many disks with gfx and music and previews for the new productions that will come! I can say that a music disk will be released - Winter Melodies and everyone has to get the bbs intro (demo) for our boards coming really soon! C - Alot of traders think that you are one of the best sysops in the Swedish scene. What do you think about that and why Is it true N - Well, I don't know if I'm such a good sysop. All I try to do is to be friendly and helpful to my users, nothing more actually, and one must always keep in mind that it's the USERS who make the boards and not the sysop! If I decide to play boss and act stupid, then I think many users would stop calling... C - Ok! Do you like being a sysop or Is it boring and monotonous to have to stay infront of the computer quite alot And for how long have you had the board open N - If I like to be a sysop Sure I do!! It's great! I like watching what happens and what the users do on my board. Truly awesome! And I spend alot of time infront of my computer, and it has effected my sleep. I get late to work everyday etc etc, but I just love to chat and help users. Very nice indeed!! The board has now been opened for one year and five months, I think (910618) and it's not until now the board has really got more active and more interesting to visit. C - How much have you spent on your board, and what equipment do you have N - Jesus, a lot! One Amiga 500, 2 hds (105 & 85), 1 hst (16.8) and then disks and shit... Actually I have 2 amigas (so I can play games :)) and another HST for collecting data for ST :)... I think I have spent 20-25,000 Skr on my board and when the new node comes + my faster computer and bigger HD and, arghh!! I don't want to talk about it, but it's fun, fun as hell!! C - That's great! A new node maybe. Oki, but, What do you have on your pizza which I know you're eating just now N - My pizza It's now cold as ice- cream, BUT, I like cold pizza. It has some mushrooms and ham and some other shit... I don't know, I just eat it! C - Mmmm, sounds crispy! Do you have any special plans for the future Like two cars, a fat wife and five children... And so on N - Are you crazy My life is a mess!! I can hardly think one week ahead! I live my life day by day, so I can't actually tell, but of course I will get a car & house & wife when the time is right, but right now I want to play with my computer until I puke on it. Ahh! A new pizza has arrived! By the way, do you want to know the size of my shoes C - Oki! Sounds interesting! ... Not!! So you live at your parents house. What do they think about your activities N - Sure I live at home! It's really cheap, h0h0h0. My parents don't know anything of what I do... Sure they know I have computers and fooling around with them, but they don't know I have a board, and playing a pirate all day long :) I actually showed my mum how to bluebox and she got pretty mad! What if the police comes, etc etc, So from now on, I never tell them anything... C - Hahaha! So what if the police show up. Do you ever think about that Is it worth the risk N - Sure I have thought about that, and therefore I have a plan! I call it the emergency plan #437 and if I push a certain button, my whole room will lift of to the moon! Yeah nice ehh If the police shows up I can't really do anything, I can only hope that I'll survive the 'bust' and when things cool down, I will use my backuped stuff to reopen... Haha, fuck the police! C - Ok, Let's stop here... Well, bye! Ending Chat. ACES HIGH - ANARCHY EHQ - AMIGA FILES Click... NO CARRIER
