I know some mega swappers had an insane amount of contacts, names like Aslive & TBB/Arcade spring to mind. |

I had around 50-60 until 1989, then I dropped them all
once I started calling out to the boards.

I remember counting up to over 250 contacts in the addybook last time I did that (am unable to find it atm). But as my swappingcareer lasted a few years it is hard to say how many were active at the same time.
As Violator I also often got more than ten sendings a day during quite a while. It all became unbearable when I stopped replying immedieatly though, making the pile of disks rise.
Megaswapping took all days, from coming home from school until riding the bike to the postbox in the evening. I still miss the scent from an unopened package.
When returning from the postbox I often had gotten a nice piece of code (cookie) from them aussies or hungarians to call out during the evening. Those were brilliant days! |

ive got to admit french flair that your comments imaged my sentiments exactly.
i had contacts all over the world and it was great to get a new disk with possibly a new letter or note from your contact.
places i had contacts where as follows as far as i can remember:-
scotland,uk,france,belgium,germany,israel,sweden,poland,
holland,italy,denmark,turkey,norway,spain,russia,switzerland, and i cant think of anywhere else at the moment but im sure there where more coutries than that |

In 1988/1989 I had about 20-25 at the max, after that it gradually became less & less .. In total I think I swapped with 100+ people. |
