spread the name around (along with
some of their demos).
PLRS:
How long have you had a computer, and
which computers have you owned in the
past?
CAFF: heheh...... Well, I started out
with an Amiga 2000 with an 84meg HD.
After about 1 year, I traded it for
(ugh) an IBM XT with 160megs and an
Interview With Caffeine/Eclipse Amiga 500. After that, I sold the IBM
By and bought what I have now.
POLARIS

"Burning Inside" by Ministry, or thing won't run in 2.04 !
Nature's Revenge by Skinny Puppy. My
favorite film is either Maximum PLRS:
Overdrive or The Lawnmower Man (like What is your opinion on Skid Row

have to go to USR, who else screws up do you think that their productions

would be other boards that aren't as think they should upload their cracks
caught up in the elite scene and like of it. But if they just strip out the
friendship better (don't get me original cracker's name and put
wrong, I still like to get elite theirs in, then the file SHOULD be
stuff!!!) My favorite girls are (in Nuked, and credz taken (I think x3 is
reasonable)! AFL list and saw there were only like
2 or 3 boards for Eclipse, and all

which best describe you... have a US HQ yet! But I had no way of
contacting Eclipse, since they're all
-Humourous -Nosey overseas and I didn't know any of the

-Adventurous -Romantic one day, a guy named GaZZeR logged
-Quiet -Outgoing onto my bbs. Let me tell u,when I saw
-Violent -Jealous he was calling from Ireland I freaked
-Shy -Homosexual out.I mean, little me (who just got
his board running) getting a call
CAFF: HA!!!! Humorous, Outgoing, and from Ireland already, it was like,
Romantic. At least, *I* think I am... WOW! So next time he called I chatted
hehehe with him for about 1 hour (or was it
more, Gary?) and we talked about
PLRS: Eclipse and all. He tried to tell me
What made you decide to join Eclipse that I could do better, but I heard
and have your BBS an Eclipse USHQ?? that in some groups u have to pay a
(Tell 'em about the electrodes and certain dollar amout to be an HQ and,
we'll find you...) as I said before, I didn't have that
much cash on me. So, I guess that's
CAFF: Well, I looked in a trader or how Psychosis became an Eclipse US
HQ. (See, I didn't even MENTION the PLRS:
electrodes!) How did you come to call your cool
BBS Psychosis?
PLRS:
Do you think that there's much life CAFF: Well, to tell u the truth, it
left in the Amiga Scene? was one of my spelling words in
school. Heheheheh. But then after a
CAFF: Oh hell yeah! I mean, with all while I looked it up in the dict-
these groups out there, and the new ionary and saw it was a pretty cool
Amigas coming out (which means people word, so named my BBS PsYcHoSiS! Plus
will buy 'em!), I'd say the Amy will at the time, I knew the elite boards
do pretty cool. Plus, since the games have really wacko names (no offense,
aren't like 1 meg per disk (like IBM it was just that I was only a little
games are),and that the Amy is second 7 day elite guy) and this was pretty
only to the IBM, alot of big boards cool. Before Psychosis there was
will support the Amiga. If not, then "Golden Dawn" (ugh!!).
we'll all end up with really cool
computers for games and productivity PLRS:
(and have to spend $500 per proggy). Who are the coolest traders in your

world-wide, and more than half being
pirate (or around half?), I'd say the CAFF: hehehe. Well, InSaNiTy ApPrOpO
Amy is here to stay. (hey Ben!) runs a really cool board
(HQ for DiGiTaL) runs a decent board,
and then there's Revelation (5 nodes conference, an AmiExpress conference,
but I can't pay for the fucking call (and WHY NOT?) Why ask why? Try Bud
dammit!!!). I don't know too many wet..... jk. But seriously, Psychosis
traders locally, but that's about the just started out, and we have cool as
best boards I call. There are alot of hell ratios (6:1 for traders/sysops/
traders in Maryland, tho. It's just out of country users, 5:1 for in USA
most really well-known boards (Danse users), Eclipse stuff will be made
Macabre, for example) are out west,so FREE DOWNLOADS, and, of coz, we have
they call there and forget about the great co's (GaZZeR/Eclipse, MaT/
local boards. Independent, Icepick/Independent).
Plus we are in the trader's list
PLRS: volume 5 (Almighty/AFL, my name is
Why not put in a little advert for CaFFeiNe).
your BBS here, tell us why the hell PLUS IF U LISTEN TO TEKKNO WE TRADE
any traders should call it? OURS FOR YOURS!!!
CAFF: Well, coz it's cool (obviously, PLRS:
eh?), coz it needs more overseas Will consoles completely dominate the
users, coz it's always running the Software industry in future?
newest REGISTERED Ami Express, coz
it's an Eclipse USHQ, coz it's got an CAFF: I hope not! I don't see why
HST DUAL 16800, and coz it's got a anybody would spend $50 for a console
Console Conference, a Tekkno / MaT's game (when I had my SNES I had no
ASCII conference, a 72-hour elite CLUE they could crack those games!!!)
when all u have to do is spend $50 CAFF: hehehe. (This is ***really***
for a 2400 baud modem and leech files stupid) I knew that people cracked
off local pirate boards. Plus when u games and all, but I never knew where
beat a console game, what are u going to get them. So one day, I saved up
to do with it? At least with the enough money to get a 9600 baud v32
software games u can write over the modem. Dumb me, I could have saved up
disk!! another $100 and gotten a HST 14400,
but $100 would mean 1 more month, and
PLRS: I didn't want to wait. So, after
Would you ever buy a console,if so calling almost every local BBS,I came
then what one? across a good ten supporting piracy,
and got validated with pirate access.
CAFF: Well, I had a Nintendo, then Here's the kind of funny part. There
sold it, then got a Genesis,then sold was this local guy named Ironworker
it, then got an SNES, then sold THAT (hi Dave, are we made up now? cool.
too. But l8ly I have been looking at cya!!!) who chatted with me about
some of the Genesis games and they "warez." I had NO clue what he was
look pretty wild! So, I'd say a Sega talking about.... so anyway there was
Genesis. another local board, called Homeboy
BBS, and he had alot of pirate
PLRS: stuff. At that time I didn't know
How did you get involved in the scene about the elite wares and all, so I
first, and where did you learn of it? just uploaded the stuff I got from
Ironworker to him,and sometimes duped
the file coz on WWiV it's just Sooooo PLRS:
easy (now I know it's a lame thing to OK then Caffeine, thanks for the cool
do). Anyway, after finding out they interview,it will appear in Amnesia 9
were elite, I didnt call back coz I and be seen by everyone, so all you
didn't get elite stuff. But I'd have traders around the globe get in touch
to say the guy who got me on my feet with Psychosis! - NO CARRIER -
and all wares-wise would have to be
Ironworker (thx Dave!!! I appreciate Article By:Polaris + Caffiene
it!!!). After that, Insanity Appropo Clipart By:Hokum/Eclipse
helped out.
PLRS:
What should a really good diskzine
have in your opinion?
CAFF: Well, it should have the basics
(interviews, letters, info on elite
boards, and update info for BBS
proggys and what's new in the trader
world). Also some of the new elite
boards coz they need support, and
names of people NOT to let on your
BBS (lamers, hackers, shitheads,etc).
