Tablereservation is open for visitors without BilletNet? ticket.
The table reservation system is now available for visitors who wish to buy tickets at the entrance instead of buying tickets beforehand at BilletNet?. And everyone should feel free to make use of this opportunity. There are however a few limitation compared to pre-arrival purchas:
Each scene member can only make one reservation and max reserve for 30 people. Upon arrival the reservation must be payed for together for the exact number of people the reservation is made for. If fewer or additional people is arriving, the entire reservation is immediately cancelled. These kind of reservation will have lower priority in the reservation program, and might be pushed around if people with real tickets make a reservation for tables that have been reserved by people without tickets. The program will always try to assign the best seats to everyone.

Windows 95 Demo will be held
By popular demand the decision about canceling the Windows 95 Demo competition is reversed. From the irc event recently it was our impression that a win95 compo was not wanted. This turned out not to be true, so we have decided to hold it anyway with original rules, albeit with minimal prices. Hopefully a sponsor for this event will be found.

Reservation System for Bus Organizers
We have introduced a table reservation system for bus organizers who wishes to reserv tables for the people (s)he brings. We appricate the effort bus organizers put into organizing these trips, and we encourage as many as possible to participate in this program. However since seats at the party place are limited and to avoid double reservations, the bus organizer must follow these guidelines and procedures:

Competitions, Rules and Prize Changes
We have made some minor justifications to the competitions, rules and prizes. Win95 is now completely cancelled due to lack of interest. The prize money have been moved to the 4K intros, which have been split into seperate competitions for Amiga and PC platforms. The rules for the 4KB intros are still the same as for regular intros, but now sound is also allowed, by popular demand.
For Amiga productions the computer used for presentation will have a 060/50MHz CPU install, but the production must still work on a 030/50MHz. The PC platform of choice is still a P166.
The java demo competition will be shown on a NT computer with 48MB of memory, and the latest version of Netscape Navigator. Colormode will be 24bit.
