  "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!
