?: tell us something about yourself.

!: well, my real name is thomas i am
   16 years of age and i am still
   studying. you could say that i am a
   pretty small guy, about 170-175 cm
   tall, and there is really nothing
   more to tell i guess.

?: what's funniest and what's most
   boring with swapping?

!: hmm.. i guess the best thing about
   swapping is that you can get a good
   relationship to other peoples and
   that you can make new friends. and
   i guess the most boring about
   swapping is when you get many packs,
   or your contacts are backstabbers and
   arrogant.

?: what do you prefer from your
   contacts, high speed, quality or
   friendship?

!: well, i guess a little bit of
   everything but what i would prefer
   friendship if i could choose, i mean
   i am swapping to get friends not to
   get famous.

?: i know that you are groupless right
   now so in what group would you be a
   member of if you could decide
   yourself?

!: MOTIV 8, MOTIV 8 defenetly! i mean
   motiv 8 is the best group that is
   alive. they are the most active
   group and many of my friends are in
   the group.

?: do you have a girlfriend, and in that
   case, what does she think about your
   computer activities?

!: not at the moment. i had a girlfriend
   a couple of months ago but i dumped
   her as she was getting on my nerves.
   and i can tell you that she didn't
   like my hobby (computers) at all,
   fuck her.

?: i know that you have an amiga could
   you think of joining that scene too?

!: no way! i have been in the amiga
   scene ones and it really sucks!
   i mean in the amiga scene they don't
   know what friendship is, they just
   want to get famous and i really hate
   those kind of people.

?: are you also active in modem trading?

!: not really! i mean, not active!
   i call out maybe once a week or
   something like that. but then it's
   not for warez it is for talking to
   people.

?: how many contacts do you have and
   are you planning to get more?

!: at the moment i only have 30-40
   contacts, but you all probaly know
   that i had 300 before and not 40 like
   some guys claimed. and yes, i am
   planning to get more than maybe 60-
   80 as to have 150 contacs would take
   up too much time.

?: have you ever thought about stop
   swapping?

!: nah, not really! you see i can't code
   and i can't do any graphics and so
   that's why i decided to start editing
   a mag and it would only be good to
   have some contacts when you have a
   magazine.

?: tell me your favies. coder,graphican,
   musician, swapper, cracker, mag,
   mag-editor, overall person, demo,

?: what's your opinion about all these
   discmags and about JAMAICA?

!: well, i really love all the magazines
   or atleast most of them. as some are
   filled with bullshit. and i think its
   a great thing that some guys can give
   some time to edit magazines.
   now about JAMAICA, i think your
   magazine is really great it maybe
   needs some more text and gfx but
   elseway i love the magazine. and i
   would just like to say that i love
   the work that you are doing for
   everyone here in the scene.

?: how often do you send out and what
   kind of equipment do you have?

!: puh, it's hard to say how often i
   send out, but usually i send out the
   same day as i get to pack from some-
   one. and if not my delays are not
   more than 3 days. and my equipment
   is 1 c64, 1 1541-ii, 2 joys, about
   300 disks, one printer which i hardly
   never use. and i guess that's
   everything i use. i am still looking
   for a drive though as my other one
   broke down a couple of months ago.
