                                 SYMPOSIUM 96!
@C3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                      The

                                  Symposium 96

                          follows the very successful

                                   Fried Bits

         parties that were held in Bremen during the last three years.

           Through all the years the Fried Bits was a single-computer
       event, but now we decided to cooperate with other people from the
              computer-scene, and the Symposium 96 is the result.

It will be a computer-convention for the Falcon, the Amiga, the Acorn and the PC
      and the combination of these big companies enables us to offer some
                       nice prizes for the competitions.

          If it's impossible to change this then think of new effects
                    like the 'vectorworldplasmarotator' ;-)
