Halfway the MSX Fair in Nijmegen, three people moved forward: Wammes Witkop (former publisher and chief editor of MSX Computer Magazine, later on publisher of MSX Computer & Club Magazine), Robbert Wethmar (editor for both magazines) and Hayo Rubingh (editor for both magazines). They informed the guests that their mission to scan all the MCM and MCCM issues was just finished! This means that all the issues of MSX Computer Magazine and MSX Computer & Club Magazine can now be read online and be downloaded as PDF. Ninety issues, from February 1985 to Autumn 1997, a major chunk of Dutch MSX history.

The three joined the traditional after party in the Chinese restaurant, disclosing even more stories and gossip while some others were jokingly quoting some unforgettable lines from MCM - lines which the staff even forgot about!

Ah, how the years pass by.. pigs 'n ducks forever!

Wammes was a bit weirded out by the extremely detailed MCM knowledge of Manuel and Wolf...

I had a few of the MSX/DOS issues and some of the MCCM issues when they originally came out, and bought some later at fairs, but ... I've got some reading to do here Hannibal

Great effort; a big thank you to the people who went through all this trouble !
