Appearance by hacker in the swedish news and television, 1988-89.

This topic is mainly aimed towards the swedish audience who might know, although i'm aware that there might be other people around here which might know aswell. As you might or might not know, a wellknown swedish C64 user (which we can call Erik XIV) appeared in Datormagazin, the evening newspapers and on the swedish television during the swedish VISA-scandal which basically took place in 1989.

I remember seeing the spot on the telly - but I can't remember what the program was called, nor what the short interview contained - so I have two questions:

1) What was the program? Did he appear at more than one program? Do anybody have a videocapture of this show?

2) In the program, Erik XIV downloaded and ran an intro or a demo on his C64 which I remember beeing impressed by. What was the intro or demo he ran?

Thanks in advance.

According to the article in oberoende computer, erik xiv appeared on aktuellt in may and showed the demo "gergamygga".

Unfortunately it doesnt seem to be as easy to buy old material from swedish television as it is from swedish radio.

Lemme go out on a limb and state that it was probably Karl XII, as he both coded Gergamygg and was in Agile. Also, the names do bear a certain resemblance.

Thanks for the info. I already knew the alias of the guy in the spot, although I had no idea that it was Gergamygg. Let's just hope that Sledge can fix these programs - atleast Sputnik!
