"STORY ABOUT THE SCENE"

written by YAEMON/DEPREDATORS

----------------------------------------
yes,it's the 90's and the scene is on
the edge! well,we ask ourselves on the
edge of what?
since late 70's the great firm
COMMODORE produced for the first time
the CBM 64 BASIC MACHINE,and it was a
revolution for all us!
i remember when i was eleven years old
i had already heard and seen this
machine and i wanted it as hell!
then it was my birthday (1984) and i
got the 64 in present-oh hell i was
pleasant!- i called abit around to my
friends also having 64 (now they lost
interest a long time ago) i wanted sum
games you see!
i remember my 1st tape (urgh!) with
crax! cracked by SHERLOCK HOLMES,1001
CREW,ACE,DELTA,REFLEX,NSC...EAGLE SOFT
etc...etc...
all those legends are gone by now but
they have my deepest respect!
it is now i want you to realize my
point in this "warning" you may call
it!
all these groups are dead now...
all the members are probably some
30-YEAR-OLD WORK-MANIACS on an office
somewhere!
they maybe have their 64 yet,but it's
probably all dusty in a drawer or on a
shelf.. whatever!!
those groups are a comperison to the
groups today!
as we all know: we cannot keep up the
scene throughout all our lives,and
further more we will have jobs and no
time for hobbies! (=computing today!!)
the average of all members in every
group are TEENAGERS!!!!
we have a life,right? so who the hell
wnna sit in front of the 64 when we
have some urgent business to tend to
us,let's suppose you are 35 years old!
the scene cannot die from one day to
another,but it will die slowly as
everybody looses their interest for
the machine! the only thing that could
save the scene is to pass it over to
the next generation of teenagers,which
funny enough will be our children!
and yet we must say to them that the
scene is not a lifestyle,but a hobby!

LONG LIVE THE SCENE!

P.S.gimme some reactions on this message

----------------------------------------
yo yaemon...
pretty interesting letter you wrote!!
i fully agree with this and i think i
know a good way to help the next
generation a bit...
here's a little experience of my own:
the first thing a newcomer will do,is
to send to a dude from who he saw his
address and ask him to swap...
the stuff he sends is mostly fucking
old as he has no other contacts.
he sends to several guys and hopes to
get a reply...
the contacted dudes though mostly do
not send back as the stuff is too old,
and if none of the contacted sends
back to him,he will give up hope and
there we lost a newcomer...
but if someone sends back he now got
the opportunity to contact more guys
with newer wares and more chance on a
reply!!
he gets more and more contacts and
also get some utilities...
he might become interested in other
things than swapping like:-coding
-cracking
-composing
-designing
or what ever...
this guy might be very good in one of
these things and he becomes one of
his kind...
but this all was only possible thanks
to the guy(s) that sended back to him!

so now you got my point.
if you get contacted by someone from a
group you've never heard from (if he
is in one!) and his stuff is pretty
old then send back to him and give him
a chance...
you can always drop him,when he proves
to be lame...

----------------------------------------
well,that was all i had to say about
this...

wait and send your letter to:
