Maybe it's better to host the mp3 somewhere else yourself then since it's unlikely to exist for longer than a week or so on its current location.

J-war has said that he will host it better send him that link right away

ehh for some reason it bounces...anyone gott his new adress or anyone can pass him the link via ICQ or something?

Ohyeah we got a second one. DUTCH, spread to a large audience.
I'm talking about one of the bigest Dutch news papers accroding to themselves.
Can we call this actually a news paper ???
Will send the evidence as soon as I can start scanning.

this sounds pretty interesting!

Hypeing just the thing up. The scanner is scanning.

What's the adress to send the evidence to same as for the old challenge ? I'm to lazy to search.

Seeing how poor this one actually is. Makes me think if people ever came to the idea to send these guys some other better MSX related info. (I'm talking about ONE CHIP MSX here.)

yup.. msxmedia@msx.org

Sended it in.
Now what's the myserty article about and were was it pusblished ?
Well it's in the SPITS of 21 december (A free DUTCH Tabloid paper.) which is the second paper of the Netherlands when your talking about publishing numbers.(I don't know if that last one went lost in translation. But correct me if I said it wrong.)

The article is about a Retro store opening in which sells MSX, C64, AMIGA and other old systems. Online it can be found at www.backgames.nl
