Is the "Parhelia" project delayed ?

They did have a huge stand in 2001 !

Maybe Haig&co drank too much beer last time

[CHHAS]

That doesn't sound good (not the drinking part )

[Kosh Naranek]

No, it doesn't sound good at all ...... !

I would like to know the REAL reason though, because last year was a record year at CeBIT ( in amount of visitors ) and 2002 looks as though it will be even bigger !

[SteveC]

I didn't drink that much... although I was fast asleep all the way home in Maggi's car!

I knew Matrox shouldn't have stayed in such a swanky hotel!

I really hope that is not a big bad sign appearing on the horizon ...
