PRESENTATION

NAS was first arranged in 1995. It's a special show with a hacker convent,
exhibition and different seminars - all in one place. 

This time the Nordic Atari Show is held in a school building, Kortedala 
Gymnasium, in Gothenburg. It offers several small rooms for the hacker 
contests and seminars, a big lecture hall for showing demos and films and a 
normal size restaurant for the exhibition. Showers and dressing rooms are 
available, and there is free carparking in the school area.

Pizza restaurant, cafe and other shops are only a few steps away from the 
school. If you want to stay at a hotel please contact us for information
or visit our Webpage for details (http://www.tripnet.se/sak/nas).

Kortedala Gymnasium is fifteen to twenty minutes away from the central part 
of Gothenburg. There are good possibilities for communications by tram or 
car.

The dates are the 14th, 15th and 16th of June. Gather with your friends and 
join us at a very fun and exciting show for Atari users around the northern 
and european part of the world!

This year the exhibition and seminars are arranged by the Swedish Atari 
Users' Association (Svenska Atariklubben), and the hacker convent by 
nocrew.

Below are all the activities, and the low entrance prices. Last year they 
were a little bit high, but this year we hope it's suitable for all 
wallets!

No limit at all. Should be able to run on a Atari compatible computer
present on NAS96.

SMALL ONE
The limit is the shoesize squared (european) of the deliverer in bytes.
