NAME:
Graeme Norgate

COMPUNET ID:
PIMAN (yes, it was named after the Automata character)

WHAT HE DID:
Started up the ZOO. Reviewing as many uploads as possible. Then it started getting silly if I remember correctly. I started an Import demo directory, record reviews, something to do with Viz ?, interviewing demo teams and probably some other stuff I can't remember. Then Dral came along and did Zoo Tv and helped me out with some other bits and bobs and he eventually ended up taking over when I went AWOL, before he became editor of Cnet. Crazy days, huge phone bills, kept me out of trouble.

CLAIM TO COMPUNET FAME:
Seeing as I did nothing else, it would have to be starting the Zoo.

WHAT'S HE UP TO NOW:
Writing music for Rare which is for the most part Nintendo 64 games. It's what I've always wanted to do and now it's what I'm always doing, so I suppose things worked out just dandy. The only down point is I'm now living in the Midlands which is as interesting as it sounds. For more on Graeme, take at look at http://www.rare.co.uk/affairs/rarelife/musician.html

OTHER STUFF:
Never trust a Klingon

TOP THREE FAVOURITE PROGRAMS/HARDWARE:
Hmm. You expect me to remember any of this ? On the Amiga (if that's allowed) it has to be Soundtracker later replaced by Noisetracker, this was the program that finally got be getting some sounds into some form (I was too stupid to be bothered to learn Rockmonitor you see). Paradroid spent a long time burning it's image into my screen, and that little white box that stuck on the back of the c64 that brought this whole Compunet thing to my doorstep. It was big, it was slow but it was top fun.

BETWEEN WHICH DATES WERE YOU A MEMBER OF COMPUNET:
I joined mid '87 after reading about Compunet quite regularly in Zzap64, I dropped out in late 89. Quite a short time granted, but I met a hell of a lot of people in that time.
