"ALL ABOUT: DERBYSHIRE RAM/DEADLINE"
an interview by BAZE/BRUTAL.
----------------------------------------
well here is a nice interview with
DERBYSHIRE RAM of DEADLINE made by
BAZE of BRUTAL!
b: baze!
d: derbyshire ram!
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
b: yoo derbyshire please tell us
something about your self!
d: well there is not too much you don't
already know, but here goes again.
i have five children all grown up!
i have eight grandchildrens too! i
do not work now, but my wife ANN
works full time. i am overweight
with staying at the 64 everyday!
b: how and when did you start your
computer life?!?
d: i bought my 64 in late 1983, when i
had to finish full time working, not
for playing game, but to program
(laugh!!), when i found i could do
very little with! i got some tape
games to play! i started cracking
them to use on turbo tape to save
loading time!
b: what is the fuss about you leaving
dominators?!?
d: well no fuss as far as i'm concerned
i left because of the lace of
co-operation within the group and
also i got some wierd phone talks
from australia and europe slagging
me because a certin member in 'dom'
was cashing in 35 dollars to allow
aussies to join the group, enough
was enough! i'm no angel but i
thought that was over the top! i
still have good friends in 'dom'!
with who i am still in contact with!
b: how is the english scene according
to you?!?
d: i recron the english scene is at
it's lowest ever on the 64, only
'TALENT' and 'DEADLINE' are the
current recornised english groups,
we have not made a good start as
everyone knows but TALENT can hold
their own with all the good euro
groups! long gone are the days of
ZENITH, IKARI, FUSION, DCS, and
others, who a couple of years ago
were fighting to be u.k. no.1!
b: if you could change something in the
scene what it be?!?
d: well i suppose the 64'ere is coming
to an end gradally, but i would
certainly like to see more software
appearing! also more people telling
the truth! (i hope you are reading
this 'trisect')!
b: how do you look upon the mags
presents today?!?
d: there are far too many mags around
present! most of them! i like to see
a mag similar to GAMERS GUIDE, but
that is always going to upset
someone!
b: what are you doing besides
computering?!?
d: lots of housework! lots of votesheet
filling and railway photography when
the weather permits it, i also like
the odd pint!
b: as far i'm concerned you should be
one of the 'older' men in the scene?
how is it to be amoung all us
youngsters, does your wife ever
complain about your time infront of
your 64?!?
d: well first i will say that 99
procent of my computer is when my
wife is at work! i very rally touch
it in the evenings which i spend
with my whife and family!
i don't feel odd amongst the younser
guys! i get on very well with most
of them, i get the odd one ragging
me from time to time but i can take
it all in good part, i'm not easily
offended and i'm doing what i like
the best even though i may not be
good at it! i take computering as
fun and i'm not trying to compete
with anyone!
b: who is the best in your eyes when
it comes to:
cracking, demos, swapping, mags,
music, artist and overalls?!?
d: now that's a nasty question, it
could get me some real enemies, so i
will answer it by saying that i
respect anyone who i can do any of
these things successfully!
b: who is to be blamed if the 64 will
die?!?
d: commodore, for bringing out the
amiga and the software houses who
have deserted the 64!
b: have you ever had troble with the
post, cops or what ever?!?
d: no never! just having to pay on the
sendings has been the worst problem!
b: now you got the chance to greet your
best friends...
d: i have over 100 contacts! most of
them are good friends also so i will
greet them all!
b: what are your future plans?!?
d: at my age it is difficult to make
future plans, but i will say that
when the 64 scene dies compleetly
then i will quit also!
b: now let's have some final words to
our dear readers!
d: well i would like to apologise to
all my contacts for the poor quality
of warez done by DEADLINE since we
began in early november! i only hope
we can put this right in 1992!
oh yes, finaly, some guys think that
when you get 20 you are over the top
and too old to even own a computer
my answer to them is.. learn to walk
before you run, and use your head,
not your mouth!
b: the sad end has come thanx alot for
this awesome onterview barry!
