23 October 2004: The annual ABBUC meeting in Herten Germany

At 6.30 our alarm clock went. We rushed out of bed. (well, it took 10 minutes...we`re not that fast anymore :-)
At 8.30 we drove off to Germany. The weather was bad over here, but as we neared Herten, the sun began to shine.
It was gonna be a lovely Atari-day!

We packed out our large collection of doubles.


Where is the power-point?

I had guessed all 16! I won first prize! I'm so happy :-)

Sandra had to pick the winner (with a My-Ide as prize) out 
off all the voters for the software-writing-contest.

It was that time again: Goodbye!


The day went by too fast...

It was a fantastic day and we have swapped many
nice Atari-items.
Our collection is yet again bigger! See if I can fit it into my room...

We drove home where we had a nice
meal with Fred and Freddy.
