Yo mans ! At the moment here is Nexus 6 jumping on the keys ! Now i want to introduce you to a megaswapper with the hundreds of contacts worldvide. This man was on the first place in the European Top 20 (by Equinox) on THE BEST SWAPPER rubic with more than 170 voting in may 1993 ! Look at this interview with this danish guy called SPEEDY / PARASITE !

         N6 = Nexus 6 / Balance (the reporter)
         SP = Speedy / Parasite

 N6> Hi Man, please introduce yourself to the readers here in the Magbox !

 SP> Hi pals this is Speedy da crazy Parasite ready to eat a banana  hmmm ok i am 19 years old  ohh ehh that's on my disco fake card  ok i am soon 17 years new and a banana swapper or atleast a disk swapper. By the way the number was only 117 but ok.

 N6> Tell me please a few words about your local area/town !

 SP> Hmmmm, what to tell ? i live on an island in the south middle of denmark but we have bridges to enter all, i also live in one of the worst towns if you look at crime. Hmmm nice ehhhh. Here is kind of boring But i live in the middle of a town. Pheww.

 N6> What is your job ?? You are a schooler yet ?? What will be your work if you will be not a 'kid' anymore ???

 SP> I just finished school to enter some business school and i hope to keep my swapping as high as allways. Anyway i wanna be an office dude, Yep I am simply to lazy to work real, and papers and computer is me.

 N6> As we know, you was the BEST SWAPPER in may on the TOP 20 ! What do you think about it ?? Are you happy ? You are REALLY the best swapper on  the scene at the moment, in your opinion ?

 SP> Ehhh you see that now everywhere i am nr.1 (but most places) But anyway i think i am the best (Not to be selfish) bcoz i got so many votes and nobody today have on the charts got so many votes. Happy ? Yes ofcoz bcoz it open doors to many cool guys. Like allmost  everybody will answer a letter from me, even that i have no time to do any anymore, and i can easy get a new group in case of trouble (Could easy break out). Well it's so cool, and most of my contacts know i love them even that i don't allways do big letters.

 N6> How much contacts do you have ?

 SP> This is a hard question coz a few weeks ago i said 130 contacts to an interview but after being number 1 it sure gives respons, so next week i might got 20 more. But ok i say it: As i have removed lot's of dead, lazy or quitted scene freaks and got many new also i have today the 21-07-93 (It's night and has just past 20-07) a number on 152 contacts. Hmmmm i still need 50 to complete my target but about 30 is about to be replaced.

 N6> I think this is a very hard job to organizing your life with this huge number of contacts ! What did you do it ?

 SP> Ha Ha, No it is not that hard. coz i hardly never get 10 letters a day and with my hidden swap talents i keep having cool stuff to send. It happens i fail, and when i be back after this hollyday, so i will be surprised if people have my stuff.

 N6> Do you using FAKED stamps ??  If not why ?

 SP> Nope here is another thing which makes ME the BEST   I DON'T FAKE. Ok reason is they are tired to call me from the post office as they have done 4 times. Nothing happend to me as i akted 'Ups i think i made a mistake'. (Danes are just to soft)

 N6> Are you a modemtrader too ? If not....are you planning to leave the mail trading, and will to buy a FAAST modem ? (like as some of the fastest  mailtraders, the post is slow, expensive...bla..bla..bla..) What do you think about this tradition, it's now only a fashion, or it's will be the way of the future ?

 SP> If i should buy a fast modem it should be to download cool Children- porno, else i am against it. But when i move i might buy one for fun NOT TO IMPROVE MY SWAPPING COZ THAT IS FAKE.

 N6> Oki, now lets talk about something difficult than the scene topics ! What do you think about rascism/fascism ? What do you think about this things on the scene ?

 SP> The only i have meet in scene is Stop fascism, and in scene WELL FUCK I CAN'T SAY SHIT coz i have friends in Turkey and a Chinese pal and well what to say ??? Even in real life i have a few friends But i must say that in Denmark. Turks are getting a problem. Too Many and Denmark Too small. It has ended in gangs and crime around the immigrant centers. Else no comment.

 N6> Do you have REAL friends on the scene, or they are only persons who send you the hot stuffies ?? In this days there are some articles in the disk mags about the real/fake friendship on the scene. What do you think a  'PURE ELITE SWAPPER' have enough time to get REAL friends ? (Becouse to get real friends is not a simple and 'shortlettered' thing...)

 SP> Ehhh gues i am a Pure Elite Swapper and what to say. Hmmm if i wasn't this friendly even that i get sometimes a little stressed, then i guess i wouldn't have been writing now. But my real friends must most be the ones i have been swapping with from the start, bcoz they know me from when i did letters on my typewriter a half page or more to i ended here, where i just answer what i need, and if i have time tell some story or  crap. But today i found another way called - Pay-phone...Hi it's Speedy from Denmark. - But another thing. I am affraid to be like Daryl etc. I don't know what he have done, but then first populary and then people piss on him.

 N6> What you know about Hungary ? Just 3 words please !

 SP> Nexus 6 lives there.

 N6> Do ya planning a hollyday on this summer ? Where ?
     
 SP> In a summerhouse by the beach.

 N6> Do you have a girlfriend at the moment ?

 SP> No my Amiga is better  But i have had and i do make moves... once a year.

 N6> Do you have other hobbies, or to swapping is totally fill up your spare times ?

 SP> I can do a lot. Swapping takes no time  But i like to have fun with my computer and else i look most TV or make new kinds of junkfood. My swapping only takes a few hours if i don't prepare a total swap-day which is from about 13:00 to 19:30. When i have to many letters.

 N6> Ok, back to the scene ! As you know, a some weeks ago all the members of FROGS has joined with the forces of Balance ! What do you think about  this fusion ? There will be a better Balance with the international di visions (yes ! -N6), or...

 SP> No this is not good. I had a friend in Balance DK which said to me that they didn't know that many joined so alot will be kicked, but them in  the north will be safe....So i though well my friends will properly get kicked down below. So i get a call from the guy, he just got kicked and wanted to join Parasite...Can't be done. But he as the main part of the Balance get kicked just like that. Well i though this group in DK was really friendship. All danish groups have fun at parties and we call alot on the phone to chat and even travel to each other, and so they  can't even have this little friendship. This really sucks.

 N6> What do you think about the actually MAGAZINE scene ? In a few magazines was published ramours about the comeback of ZINE. What is your opinion, they will came back with their SAME quality/power, they will be AGAIN the leader of the magazines ?

 SP> Zine where about to die when i entered the scene, But as some of the first mags i have known and also best quality. I quess not any will be back  The only which where close where ETERNAL but they are allmost  dead  Only one more issue seems to come  I know the staff.

 N6> Where taken your pseudoname from ? 

 SP> Well i don't really know... It supposed to be a name to i found some- thing better... But only i got fascinating by was Speedy Gonzales the little comic mouse and i even once called myself the name AND on the member list of Parasite there is written Speedy (Gonzales).

 N6> You are a totally LEGAL swapper ? (I know your VHS list hehehe..-N6)

 SP> I am total legal YES (My VHS list is only 29 Tapes most Filmnet so Pleeeeezzz  Pstt- If you want tapes ask my brother he have more than 200 tapes of new movies only)

 N6> Please tell us something  about your scenecarree from the beginning of yours...

 SP> Well i started on the Vic20 making programmes. So i got a C128 and  started getting lot's of games, and so i had to have a handle also bcoz the crackers had, so i got the name Trax but i didn't know how i got it, before i later saw in TV 'Here on SKY TRAX' so it was SKYCHANNEL. I moved and putted my Computer into a box. Then 3 years after i got it out coz a friend said 'why not' Then The Amiga dream came up again and i bough an Amiga and found better contacts all the time to get the newest games. A guy by a mistake gave me a Demo and it was simply so cool 'Mental Hangover' so i asked for more and got wild. I entered a  few parties and around The Party 1 i found out how to advertise, and i also tryed Mag but no answer. Hmmm So The Party 1 came and i had a seat  just beside Legend. Cool pervert guys like me (He He). Then the 22.January 1992 i got my first answer. COOL so i made 17 more advertiments. And so i wrote i wanted to join a group in my adverts and VLSI contacted me first, so i joined. Later about 13 more contacted me. Later the 'join bigger group' got to me and i joined Magnetic Fields.  And for fun i also joined Hurricane (Help) Yep they where one big lie  and when their total fiasko party was over i left (Joined coz free enter).and when i returned Home i had a letter from Magnetic Fields 'Got Modemtraders You Are  Kicked' so without group. Ok i renamed to Speedy and joined Quartz for a while to i had created a Danish division, so i asked Parasite to join as 1. They where Danish  2.Krueger just joined  3. They had 2 cool musicians. So here i sit and have fun, when the Parasite's meet the town is not safe.

 N6> What do you think about the new Amiga models like as the A1200 ? Do you planning change your equipment in the near future ? If yes/not.. why ?

 SP> Hopefully i get one next month, but as my friend Hunter got one i also know how little who work on it even with Kick V1.3. So i will both buy the new one and keep my old, bcoz i have soon 2000 disk demos and i will not delete them.

 N6> There will be a TRUE scene on the A1200/4000 ?

 SP> I don't know. Bcoz i guess the A1200 is only a preview of something, as they really can fix things like the 8 sek. reset and no fastmem. Hey it breaks alot. Coz even the New A5000 they work on will have 16 MB Fastmem and will be able to run all back to v1.2. This is only a party computer. And when they can't do a computer all after the Commodore Lines so i do not really like it.  Well maybe just a new comes with better reset etc. V2.1 V2.2 Kickstart  Whatever. I get one. Coders remember your work.

 N6> Give us your newest, and BEST joke please !

 SP> Why do they put shit on the wall in Turkey when some has to be married ? It is bcoz-else the flies will sit on the bride. HI HI HI.
