eyes and hair, my length is about
1.75 meters and i'm getting
trained in the telephone business
(school)
m : what's about your computer
career ?
s : well, i started out as a lamer
in '84, years later tbf asked
me to join sphinx(cuz i got a
modem) and after some months i
got a fight with him concerning
at&t's. that day i got a phone-
call from sledgehammer asking me
cuz bam bam was at the point of
being thrown out!
so i joined on the condition that
my good friend rico could also
join, and well, i'm still here...

americans pronouncing my name.
(the only who said it like it
really is was pudwerx on a 3way!)
m : what do you think about the scene
today, what would you change ?
s : the scene today is like constant
new groups who die and start a
new one. there's also too much
attention to the lamers !
if i could change anything, i
would confiscate all modems
except from the elites !
m : what do you think about
americans/euros ?
s : the europeans are ok, but there
are a lot of americans who do
nothing but bullshitting on how
cool they are (in real life)
m : are there still any aims you want
to reach ?
s : no, i've been in a group which
was no 1 and i have been the
no 1 importer '90, i don't think
there's more to do (or the lust
to do it!)
m : did you ever regret the years
of computer ?
s : no, it has been fun and without
it i would never had the friends
and music and video contacts i
have now !
m : who do you think is the best
group ever/today ?
s : as the best group ever i would
say hotline or ikari...
m : did you ever get in troubles with
the cops ?
s : yeah, but not cuz of computers,
although i once got shit with
a phone-company for using their
pbx (someone mentioned my name)
m : what are your future plans
concerning computer ?
s : i have no plans after the c64
dies, but maybe i changed my mind
by that time and go either amiga,
st or pc!

the f.a.s.t. is a new racing-

computer career ?
b : ok, my equipment consists of a
c64, 2 1581'er, 1 1541'er, a
colour monitor, a commodore-
printer ! i got my computer in
1982 and i ran up a 1800 dollar
phone-bill in one month !
because of this i put it up for
8 years and several months ago
i decided to return because of
boredom !
about 6 months ago i got asked
by horizon and tdo to join nec
as a wares-spreader! i also hack
at&t's !
in 1982, after i saw the film
wargames,i had to buy a computer!
m : what's about your group ?
b : nec has been around for a year
and a half. horizon started the
group. ther have been so many
members in nec, i can't remember
them all !
there were times we had about
15 nec-headquarters at one time!
now there are only horizon, tdo,
prodigy, archmage, trojan, tinman
defiance, murdock, nynex ninja
and me!
m : how did you get your handle ?
b : because i'm so big, people called
me butcher before i got into
computing, it was my nickname.
m : what do you think about the scene
today ?
b : overall the scene is pretty good,
but people are telling too much
bullshit about others for no
reason! compared to the former
times it's nothing to what it
was !
ragging on people for no reason
is wrong!
m : what do you think about americans
compared to europeans ?
b : i think everyone tries to make
the scene good looking!
there are no big differences
between euros and amiericans,
both sides have eg. good
crackers !
m : are there still any aims you want
to reach ?
b : yeah, i wanna make nei kick-ass!!
m : did you ever regret the years of
computing ?
b : no, i never have !!!
m : who do you think is the best
group/cracker ?
b : well, for importing it's xds+dom,
they really kickass at the
moment! for crackink it's nec,
the best single-cracker is
horizon !
m : did you ever get in troubles with
the cops/phone-companies ?
b : yes, i've got a lot of troubles
with the cops and the phone-
company!(i got a 1800 d. bill!)
with the cops for fighting,
i almost killed a person.
also for drugs, i like to fight
and being high! but never for
theft!
m : what are your future plans
concerning computer ?
b : i don't know, i'd like to see the
c64 having a comeback...i will
stay with the 64 until the scene
dies...then i probably move on,
probably to the ibm, but mostly
for hacking and phreaking !
m : describe a lamer! (no names!)
