By the way, why does everyone say 'was' when they talk about Andries? Is he dead? Or just not MSXing anymore?

That's what we're trying to find out

Wow, that reaction wasn't nearly as bad as what I expected...

oh here goes nothing... most of the FD crew:
-Koen Dols - Head Honcho who mysteriously disappeared
-Jeroen Smael - Smael, you're on Candid Camera
-Jorrith Schaap - makes a lot of noise
-Patrick Smeets - pixeller
-Tobias Keizer - spamming msx.org now
-Arjan Bakker - yours truly, responsible for useless programming courses

yez, andries minaar (brrr), the guy with the kickass glasses. If you looked him in the eyes (I'm still blind you know) you had the idea looking through a aquarium... (and behind the glass strange subtropical eyefishes)

It's not the dress that makes the woman (nice dress indeed with all those little flowers, just like my grandma)!!

When we had a boot in Tilburg Andries came checkin' out our products and because of his eyesight he made the 'I'm picking up a piece of soap' move and was exactly 0.3 cm in front of our monitor...

we luv you dre

Hey! watch it! Andries was our very own mascotte!

You think commodore had an Andries? NO!!!
You think the IBM PC had an Andries? NO!!!
You think the Amiga had an Andries? NO!!!

You think the X-BOX has... Oh, wait... They're all Andries'es...

Yeah, that user club really kicked ass! I used to go there ages ago, when it still existed... Too bad they quit business

Hmm..Rinus Stoker I remember him...The first time I met him I was at a meeting of VCL (Vereniging Computergebruikers Landgraaf (later it transformed to Limburg).
He was there for the first time together with his son Dennis (I think it was 1992 or 1993)and he had some difficulties with the tables blocking his path (he sits in a wheelchair).

I never forget the amazement when I saw him standing up and moving a table or two aside. I said to some guy next to me, 'Hey, I saw a miracle!!' .

Hmm...to bad..I never told him this story..

Are there other people arround here who visited this Computer club? I was there every month for about 7-8 years I think.

Man, that was a good time....I really miss that some times..

Let's add some people of the Fony/Tyfoon crew:

Michiel Spoor
Mathieu Veurman
Marnix van Adel
Michel Berger
Collin van Ginkel
Stefan Szarafinski

Wellm but I am not gonna add myself of course

All of a sudden, the name "Arnaud de Klerk" comes to mind. I wonder what happened to him...

Wouter Gransbergen - Founder of NMC (Nederlandse MSX Club)
Matthijs Goofers - Also founder of NMC
Hessel Harmsen - Dunno what he did, but he is IT´er at the company I am now working

Isn't Hessel Harmsen this dude?
IIRC, he was really active for MSX CODE and MSX Club Nijverdal (or something like that)... I visited him once
