an interview with ANO of PADUA
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
please tell me your real name?
- my real name is FRANK MICHLICK

...and your actual age is?
- i'm 17 years old. i'm going to
celebrate my 18th birthday at
HZ's party this easter.

what's your job in PADUA?
- i'm a coder, a swapper and i'm
also trying to do some kind of
organizating in our group.

i presume that you've not only
been in PADUA during your time
in the scene, so please tell us
about the other groups you've
been in.
- i've been in 5 groups before
we formed padua. first of all,
i started in NPS, a very lame
group, where i and two friends
of mine did all the work and
the others were playing games,
but that was a long time ago.
we got angry about this and
formed TMI. after being around
for some time, we were asked
to join CALTEX of BEASTIE BOYS
(in their good times!) and so
we did. but a week later,
X-RATED was formed and me and
my friends joined them. after
some time we left them again
and formed ELECT. after some
changes we re-joined x-rated
but we could not get happy in
that group so we formed PADUA.

i wonder, how many members are
there in PADUA?
- we are six members at this
very moment, but this might
change. member status: lubber,
roman, salem, steve, tomahawk
and me, ANO.

so tell me, when did you bought
your commodore 64?
- about 4-7 years ago.

ho^??0???2-_????0_ 1?0?_??:0.0ao
k_:?_ am i famous? we had our
first small success with our
first demo at HZ's 1990, but
that demo was not spread good
enough. then we released
TORTURE, which was spread a
lot and most people seemed to
like it! then we released our
tool disk. that's not so many
releases, but we always try to
do some special kind of style
and design.

what's your plans for the near
future, then?
- to get on a high place at HZ's
1991 (that's what we hope, but
it's gonna be very hard). we
try to get our demo for that
party finished in time. it'll
be called simply, 'TORTURE II'
and we are also coding some
small things to make money.
maybe work on a conversation
for digital marketing.

which is your absolutley BEST
pals in the scene?
- all members of PADUA
effy of the guardian angels
bazooka & leonardo of creation
cycleburner of megastyle inc
odin of science 451
greyrat & pumpkin of lower lvl
and some of my contacts...

many dudes complain about the
charts, and i agree that they
can be really shitty. so i want
you to pick out THE BEST of
these three categories: coder,
musican and a graphixer.
- I TRIED HARD to find someone
to name, but everytime i got a
name in my mind, i'm thinking
of another one. i'm sorry, but
that means i'm not able to
mention anyone here.

exactly, how many hours do you
spent infront of your computer?
- PHEW, that's quite different.
from 0 hours to 7 hours, but
normally 3.

what do you think about the
actual scene then?
- i really don't like it that
much. some people are still
coding demos, which looks like
demos from 1987. i also don't
like that there are TOO MANY
magazines, 'cause only a few
mags are able to get enough
votes to do fair charts. i
don't like LAMERS, who just
copy the charts of a mag and
send it in to a magazine just
to get their address printed
in there. theres also too much
boasting, some groups should
just prove their abilities
insted of boasting. and i dont
like all those wars going on.

what do you think about the
illegal scene, about cracking?
- cracking is FUN, if you get
good orginals. but a lot of
those games, which been
released novadays, are not
worth being cracked because no
one wants to play those stupid
games! cracking those games
seems like time-wasting to me
and that's why we in PADUA
won't crack anymore. anyway i
wonder why some people are
thinking that cracking just
means to put an intro infront
of a game. what about level-
packing, level-linking and a
useful trainer? ofcourse there
are still some good cracking-
groups around, but there are
also a lot who just call
themselves 'CRACKER' without
having any abilities to crack.

we all know that the c64 rules,
but what about the AMIGA then?
- i like the amiga and i'll
probably start coding on it,
as soon as i get it back from
the police. but ofcourse i'll
stay on the 64 as long as it's
alive, because i think the
amiga-scene is much lamer than
the 64-scene.

magazines seems to me populair
these days. are you guys gonna
release one too?
- we decided to do some kind of
a mag, but it will not include
any charts or news. it'll be
called GOSSIP and it will
contain our personal opinion
to the actual themes in the
computer and real life. but it
won't be so serious everytime.
subjects will be changed alot.
just wait and see and remember
this will not be a mag, this
will be PADUA-GOSSIP!

when were talking about mags, i
wonder which is your favourite
one?
- that's very difficult. in
design i like mamba. but in
text i like for example BILD
ZEITUNG more. i think i cannot
decide for one mag here!

so, what about HOTSHOT then?
- i also like hotshot very much,
it sure belongs to one of the
best mags! (gee thanks! ed.)

please describe a lamer.
- that's very difficult, because
everyone got their own
definition for the word LAMER.
for me lamer is someone who
ripp, recracks, releases/sends
very old things from other
groups, someone who is
boasting all the time. etc etc

do you often visit these very
famous copy parties?
- until now i've only been to
VENLO(once), to the HZ's 1990
and to some small meetings.
it's very expensive to go
somewhere from here where i
live, because it's always a
big distance. but we'll show
up on some more parties, as
soon as ROMAN get's his
driving licence.

do you have any idols or someone
you look up to in the scene?
- no, i don't have any special.
i just admire people who are
able to do vector-stuff, but
i'm also working on that. i
also admire people who are
able to keep 200 contacts
without getting bored, because
i would not have any fun in
copying discs all the time.

is there really something you
would like to change in the
scene these days?
- i would like to stop all WARS,
some MAGS and some GROUPS!

now some questions about your
private life. first, what are
you doing in you spare time?
- flying model-airplanes, going
to 'normal' parties, playing
the piano or just loitering
around with some of my friends
and in winter-time i'm also
doing some ice-skating and
sometimes skiing aswell.

do you have a GIRLFRIEND?
- unfortunatetly not at the
present moment(snif!).

what's your favourite:
food: PIZZA
movie: can't decide
country: all scandinavian ones
animal: DOGS
magazine: can't decide
game: TETRIS and adventures
music: can't decide
sport: table-tennis and cycling

what makes you really happy and
really angry?
HAPPY: - being with friends
- finishing a new product
on the computer
- earning money with
computer-programs
- phoning for hours
- reading a good book

ANGRY: - wars(all kinds)
- the cops
- the politicians
- high phonebills
- stupid teachers
- the speed of the post
- people contacting me
by sending old stuff
- people without humour
- and those who take
scrolltexts too serious

great! now please tell us the
three things you would like to
bring with you on a desert
island in the MEDITERRANEAN?
- my computer equipment, some
friends and a helicopter.

and at last, would you like to
say something to the public?
- yes. i hope to meet all my
freinds at the HORIZON party!
may there be no more stupid
wars! PEACE! and do not take
computer-life to serious cause
you might loose the connection
to reality. and at last i
would like to say thanks to
morpheus for making this
interview, because it was fun
to answer and it made me think
about some interesting things!
