+--------------------------------------+
hello guyz this time we have interviewed
-- FREDERIK BLOM/PRETZEL LOGIC --
done by SCRAPPER/BLAZE
so let's start with the question torture
----------------------------------------
? hello frederik, please give our read-
ers some facts and info about yourself
and your family!
! hi, well some facts about myself...
let's see now,my real name is frederik
or rico. i'm 21 years old, 182 cm.
tall, medium length, dark-blonde hair.
i am out of school after some (14)
years of struggle. i've got a smaller
sister, anna, and still lives with my
parents.
? when did you enter the c64 scene;
which groups have you been in and
which group are you in now?
! i first started in 1987, with an own
group, called "SILVER ROM CRACKERS",
but then i've had my c64 since 1984.
in 1988, i joined TRIUMPH 2001, with
mahoney & kaktus, injun and some other
dudes. when triumph died, i joined
AGILE for a while. in november -88, i
formed PRETZEL LOGIC, together with
jonas, and we are still going and have
got some more members since then.
? what's your job in your current group?
! i'm a coder, i suppose, but i also
pull the strings, project leader you
may say. i also do some swapping. i'm
mainly the one who comes up with the
demo-ideas, together with mikael.
? what's are your future plans on the
c64 and in real life?
! i plan to hang on the c64 for as long
as it lasts. selling games has always
been the main object, but i don't take
the time to produce a state of the art
game. i don't think it would be a wise
move to spend all that time, and pro-
bably get nothing out of it.
as for my real life, it ends 16:th of
june, when i'll join the army for 12
month,but there will still be weekends
and some time off, so it's not THE END
of my world, only almost.

group would die? and why?
! i will stick to PRETZEL LOGIC 'till
the bitter end. PRETZEL LOGIC will die
when i die, so ...

? what do you like/dislike in the c64-
scene?
! i really like the 64-scene, b'coz of
it's ability to always come up with
something new, but i don't like the
egoism some guys show up. i also think
the scene lacks some of the old days
magic.
? are you in other scenes too?
! i'm not in a other scene than the c64
dito.
? do you like demos?
! I LOVE demos. i really like the demos
that has got some thinking behind them
not just "look at my new routine on an
empty screen", but with style and
design. blackmail's demos, mda-demos i
could list a lot of groups that make
good demos. unfortunately the list of
bad demomakers would be much longer.
? what kind of hardware do you use?
! i use a c128, a modified action replay
5.0, 1764 ram expansion, a couple of
1541's and a 1581. an amiga with cab-
les to my 128, a 1084 s monitor.
? who are your best friends in the scene
! many of my contacts are really great
friends, some personal friends, some
only by letters (i love getting let-
ters on paper). i don't want to name
any specific, but i think you know who
you are.
? i guess you don't spend all spare-time
you have in front of your c64, so
please tell us what you do besides the
c64.
! i practise ju-jutsu, and works as an
instructor, and i'm also chairman of
sandviken ju-jutsu club and that takes
an awefull lot of time. besides that,
it's not much time left.
? have you ever been in trouble with the
authorities?
! no, i've never had any troubles with
the authorities.
? do you know any perverts?
! i know some guys that passes through
their lifes, staring on a squared
screen, typing things like "lda" and
"inc". some sort of perverted beha-
viour i think ...
? what do you think about the "new kids
on the block"?
! who?
? do you have a girlfriend? if so then
discribe her for us.
! yes, i'm madly in love with a girl
named anna. and the fine thing about
it, is that she is in love with me too
we've been together for a year now.
she is 165 cm tall, got dark, medium
length hair. she's got a lovely smile,
and looks just great.
? do you have good habits? please give
us three of them.
! good habits ... i'm a calm person, i
like to think things over before i do
anything stupid. i don't smoke, and i
don't drink too much alcohol.
? like good habits you must also have
some bad habits. please give us some
of these too.
! i'm terribly lazy.
? if you would win on MILLION english
pounds, what would you do with it?
! give it all to thoose who needs it
better than me (kidding). i would skip
the army, and live a nice, quiet life.
some of it would go to charity though.
? are there any guys in the c64-scene
who you definitely wouldn't invite to
your birthday-party?
! i would invite all the guys i know,
and for the rest, since i don't know
them, i can't tell. and i don't want
to judge anyone by roumors.
? by the way, when were you born?
! i was born in the sixth of october,
back in 1970.
? if you'd like to give our readers some
final words then do ...
! i usually say this: let's keep the
scene going for as many years as we
can (ten or fifteen more ...).
? yo frederik i thank you for this in-
terview and leave you some space to do
some greets ...
! thank you for the opportunity to speak
no special greetings. look in our next
demo "UNTOLD STORIES" instead ...
