BECAUSE OF SOME TROUBLE, WE COULDN'T SEND A MESSAGE BEFORE. I REALLY HOPE YOU ALL CAN UNDERSTAND THIS. I AM AGAIN ABLE TO SEND AS YOU CAN SEE, BUT JCB MADE ANOTHER TRIP TO SPAIN NOW, SO THAT I SENT TO HIS CONTACTS TOO.

TILL NOW WE DIDN'T MAKE ANY TROUBLE, BUT YOU CAN GET SOME IF YOU WANT, SO THINK ABOUT THAT !!! OK, HERE COMES SOME TEXT FROM ECS, BYE FROM COCONUT ! .......... HI, HERE'S ECS TYPING. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO WRITE OUR ACTUAL MEMBERLIST. MEMBERS OF THE ASTRAL LIGHTNING@ ARE : RICKY OMEGA MUSIVERSE KIWI JCB EXOCET ECS EAGLEFORCE CPPC COCONUT IF YOU WANT TO TRADE THE LATEST WARES WITH US, THEN WRITE TO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ADDRESSES : COCONUT PLK 022252 D 5060 B.GL.1 OR TO ECS PLK 089477 C 5024PULHEIM OR TO RICKY PLK 014930 D 5 KOELN 91 OR TO JCB PLK 022251 D 5060 B.GL.1 OR TO KIWI PLK 022482 D 5060 B.GL.1 ALL IN WEST GERMANY (WHERE ELSE ?) OKAY, AFTER THIS BORING STUFF COMES NOW A LITTLE STORY FOR YOU ! THE TITLE IS : THE CEBIT STORY ! WELL, AS YOU ALL KNOW, THERE WAS THE CEBIT EXHIBITION IN HANNOVER. OK, LIKE ALL COMPUTER-FREAKS WE WANTED TO DRIVE THERE TO SEE ALL THE NEW THINGS THAT WERE DEVELOPED (NOT ONLY FOR AMIGA !). WELL, I (ECS) THOUGHT ABOUT DRIVING THERE WITH THE CAR OF MY FATHER'S COMPANY, BUT MY FATHER SAID THAT HE HAS TO ASK HIS BOSS IF I COULD DRIVE TO HANNOVER. THE OTHER THING WAS THE FACT THAT WE HAD TO MAKE AN INSURANCE FOR THE ONES WHICH HAD TO SIT ON THE BACKSEAT OF THE CAR. WELL, THE FIRST THING WAS THE FACT THAT MY FATHER DID NOT GET THE PERMISSION TO GIVE ME THE CAR. THE OTHER THING WAS THE FACT THAT AN INSURANCE WOULD HAVE TAKEN ONE WEEK TO MAKE. I WAS VERY ANGRY (AS YOU CAN IMAGINE). OK, I SAID, LETS GO BY TRAIN. I WENT TO THE STATION AND ASKED THE FUCKING MAN BEHIND THE COUNTER HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO DRIVE TO HANNOVER BY TRAIN (INTERCITY). HE SAID THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT 120 GERMAN MARKS !!! WELL, I SHOWED HIM MY FINGER AND SAID THAT HE SHOULD FUCK OFF, BECAUSE I AM NOT SO CRAZY TO PAY 120 GERMAN MARKS TO DRIVE TO HANNOVER FOR ONE DAY. AT 8.00 O'CLOCK THIS DAY I CALLED JCB AND ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD DRIVE TO HANNOVER OR IF HE KNOWS SOMEONE WHO DRIVES THERE. HE SAID THAT MAYBE ANOTHER MEMBER OF OUR GROUP WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE THERE, BUT HE (THE DRIVER) WAS NOT SURE IF HE COULD GET A CAR. WELL, I SAID, THEN LETS WAIT. THE FOLLOWING DAYS I CALLED HIM EVERY DAY, 'CAUSE I WANTED TO KNOW IF HE DRIVES. IF HE WOULD DRIVE, I COULD MEET SOME OF MY CONTACTS (HI HITHOUSE OF MIRAGE). THE NEXT DAY (THREE DAYS AFTER MY FIRST CALL I GOT AN ANSWER TO MY QUESTION. HE DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE. I WAS FRUSTRATED AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. WHAT SHALL I DO NOW, I ASKED. STAY HOME OR GO TO HANNOVER BY TRAIN ? WELL, I STAYED HOME, BECAUSE THERE WERE TWO REASONS : 1.IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NOT VERY FUNNY IF I WENT TO HANNOVER AS THE ONLY MEMBER OF THE ASTRAL LIGHTNING - 2. I AM (AS SAID BEFORE) NOT SO CRAZY TO SPEND MORE THAN 120 GERMAN MARKS FOR ONE DAY IN HANNOVER. I CAN USE THIS MONEY FOR BUYING A HARDDISK FOR MY A2000 (THE BEST AMIGA). WELL, THIS WAS ALL. THIS STORY WAS WRITTEN BY ->ECS<- OF THE ASTRAL LIGHTNING ON THE 11TH OF MARCH 1989 (THE DAY I WANTED TO DRIVE TO HANNOVER !). I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS STORY. I DO NOT KNOW, WHAT OUR MEGA PROGRAMMERS WROTE BEFORE THIS OR WRITE AFTER THIS STORY, BUT I WISH YOU HAVE FUN WITH THIS DEMO, SEE YA' ... OKAY, THAT'S ALL FROM TAL@ NOW ! WATCH OUT FOR OUR NEXT RELEASES. SIGNED : >> TAL << HEY BLOODY LAMER, IT'S OVER !!!!!
