  -  doxx/gothic design/proxyon




+ handle &amp; group ?

- doxx of gothic design/proxyon!


+ real name ?

- stefan berglind


+ birthdate (for birthday cahpter)

- i was born 75-12-16..



+ give us a small introduction of your-
  self! (age, country, personal facts,
  sparetime, other interests  and so on)

- hmm, my name is stefan berglind and
  i am 17 years old, i will be 18 in
  december. i live in a cold country
  called sweden and i'm about 175 cm
  tall. right now i'm going in my third
  (and last) year at high-school on a
  technical education, so the school
  takes lots of time for me. when i'm
  not in school i usually spend my time
  infront of my c64, coding or making
  music. i can't say i practise any
  sport, because i'm too lazy for that..


+ how did it all start?

- well, i bought my first c64 in 1988
  and started making small basic-
  programs. (as most guys did, eh?)
  in 1989 i bought a discdrive, and
  started to code in assembler. then a
  friend of mine also bought a 64 and
  we formed a group called "cccp". we
  did some simple demo-parts, and as the
  time went by i found out that there
  were a thing called "the scene".
  i found a few addys in a swedish com-
  puter-mag, and contacted some guys.
  this was how it all started..



+ when did you enter the scene, and in
  which groups have ya been ?

- i entered the "real" scene in 1991,
  and some months later i joined the
  group megaunit. i stayed there for
  about 1.5 years and produced some
  legendary tools... around christmas
  1992/1993 i joined gothic design, and
  in march/april i joined proxyon as a
  second-group.

+ what is your memberstatus and job in
  your current group ?

- well, i do lots of things in gothic/
  proxyon.. i am mainly coder, but i've
  also started to make musics. i have
  at the moment 35 contacts, but i think
  i'll increase that number. (contact me
  if you want a nice swaptime! my addy
  should be in addy-chapter.) when
  static left the scene he turned over
  the leadership to me, so now i'm also
  the leader in gothic design..
  oops! i mustn't forget to say that i
  also am the new main-editor in our
  mag: "moonlight"!

+ how did you get your handle ?
  please tell us the story!

- the story doesn't make much sense,
  but it goes like this:
  first i called myself "zodah",but when
  i did a 'turning' scroll i saw "doz"
  which became my new handle for a while
  later on i started spelling it with
  a "x" instead, which later on became
  "doxx"! amusing story, eh?

         tell us about your faves!

  favourite friend(s) in the scene

- well, i must mention cyke/megaunit,
  arcon/triad, hype/liquid, starlight/
  extacy, pete/acrise and orson/???
  hi guys/girls!!


+ well that was the faves, and among 'em
  was favourite friends.
  what about dudes you hate/dislike in
  the scene. ?
  if you got some please tell us who -
  and why you don't like them !

- noo, ofcourse there are some people
  that are acting arrogant and so, but
  i don't want to start any new quarrels
  in this scene. everyone should try to
  keep the friendship in the scene, so
  it survives some years more!


+ what is your plans for the future ?
  both in the scene and in private !

- well, in the scene i'll do some more
  issues of moonlight, finish my second
  music-collection and maybe code some
  demo-parts..
  in real life i'll try to live through
  my last year in school, and them maybe
  try to get in on an university.


+ when the c64 dies(hopefylly many years
  from now !!!!) what will you do then ?
  jump to the (l)amiga or pc. ?
  or simply quit the whole compy-scene?

- i'd probably quit the whole computer-
  scene, or go into the pc-scene.
  i don't think the amiga will survive
  another 4-5 years, but the pc is
  spread and used all over the world.

+ please tell me what a lamer is in your
  opinion ?

- well, i don't usually call people
  lamers,but when someone do something
  really stupid, like lying and talking
  shit about other people, then i'd
  consider him as a lamer.



+          about your contacts
           -------------------

+ do ya have a lot of contacts ?
  (how many - name a few.)

- i don't have that many contacts, only
  30-35. a few i could mention are:
  d'ram, bizarre, starlight, woise,
  arcon, amarok, brix (what's up?) and
  ofcourse my dear leader in proxyon:
  gorefest.. those are the most famous
  ones, i think.

+ do you prefer legal stuff or cracks
  or mayby both from your contacts.

- i prefer legal for sure! i get kind
  of depressed when i receive the same
  budget-shit-games for the 10'th time!

+ do you use cheated stamps ?

- yep! my wallet is always empty, so i
  have to..


+ about demos : do ya like 'em ?
  is there to many or to few ?

- is there any person that dislike
  demos? they are the most important
  thing in this scene, i think.
  ofcourse you get some real shit-demos
  for time to time, but remember that
  everyone has been a beginner!

+ and the same for mags ?

- well, in general i like everything
  that keeps this scene alive, but there
  are some mags that really doesn't make
  anyone happy..


+ if you had the opportunity to build up
  a new group - which persons would you
  like to join ?

- as coders:    bob,crossbow,zodiac,tts
                walt,yup,d'arc!

  as musicians: dos,cane,drax,xayne,
                a-man,danko,bappalander!


  as grafixers: electric,joe,creeper,
                ogami,hein,gotcha!

  this would be the ultimate demo-group,
  in my oppinion..


               brainstorm!
               -----------

  brotherhood, so don't destroy it!!
