This interview was recorded in my house and all the questions were asked
and thought of by Col. Editing and typing by me (The Elf).

Col: When did you first join NFA?

Elf: About two or three months after I got my first Amiga, I say about a
year ago. They were advertised in Micro Mart.

Col: What do you, and what have you done for NFA?

Elf: Anything and  everything. Mostly modules  and pictures now  but  at
first I did -very shit- compacts (The Tools), they`ve improved alot now!

Col: The Elf?! Bit of a bloody crap handle, why did you choose it?

Elf: Thanks for the compliment, when I joined my first group I was about
fourteen and I was a right midget for my age plus it was original!!

Col: Who was this group and what were they like?

Elf: Syncro Systems, a shit hot Atari St group...

Col: ST?!

Elf: Yeah I  know, they did  the  best  compacts ever!! A 720k disk with
three games  on it -one file  of course- and a 60k long  intro, if  they
can do that on an St why not an Amiga?

Col: The Amiga`s  shit "I need  this and  that libary that`s 1000K long"
O.S, thats why!

Elf: Yeah, the Amiga needs all the important  libs in Rom  like the  St,
even better if they had all of the  Workbench and Cli commands in  there
aswell.

Col: What did you do for Syncro Systems then?

Elf: Modules, I owe all my Module-ing talents to the ST

Col: You said that you might sell out  and buy a 486 PC, is this true or
another one of your "idea`s" ?

Elf: Nope it`s 100% true

Col: Why`s that then?

Elf:  I`ve spent over 700 pounds on my 1200 and I have still not yet got
a  hard-drive.   I  have bought a hard but the first one was faulty, got
another  one,  again  it  was still faulty.  I then thought "I`ll get an
Over -Drive as they`re fast and are risk free..", this would be an extra
£50  on  top  of the refund -which was £170- from my other drive.  I had
over  £600  worth of Amiga kit so if I sold it for £500 I could get a PC
with  money I would of spent on an OverDrive.  Hard-drive for my 1200 or
a  486 SX33 PC with 170mb hard-drive, SVGA monitor and 4meg of ram, what
would you choose?

Col: So it`s not because that Commodore`s a sinking ship?

Elf: That  aswell, check  out  Virgin  or HMV and  compare the amount of
Amiga software compared to the PC, it`s  scarey. The Amiga  has virtualy
sold out in two months, it was alot longer on the ST.

Col: Won`t that prove a problem for NFA?

Elf: Naa, I can still do pictures and articles for them, plus  compacts.
Deck said  it was no  problem for him, just  aslong as I send him  Amiga
formatted disks with my works on them, all I need is someone to whack`em
over from PC disks to Amiga, you`ll do that won`t you Col.

Col: O.K if you pay me

Elf: Sod off!!

Col: What do you think of the Amiga scene in general?

Elf: Most groups and group members are cool, but I hate the "I got these
warez first, I`ve got more warez than you and if you can`t code at least
a million lines in an hour then your shit" attitude. But thats whats its
all about, being the best and trying to come out with the newest thing,
maybe thats why it appeals to so many people.

Col: Any last words?

Elf: Come down to Brighton and play "spot the foriegn student"....
