       :  tUM can look back on an growing history of success.    : 
       :  When we started all this in 1999 with a cute little    :
       :  party attended by about 4o visitors in Mannheim/       :
       :  Germany we didn't dare to think of anything big.       : 
       :  Nevertheless after some years of silence we stroke     :
       :  back in december 2002 to squeeze 150 sceners of        :
       :  various nationalities into a medium sized hall in      : 
       :  Mannheim/Germany.                                      :
       :  Even people attending "just for fun" (e.g. boozing!)   :
       :  wiped their eyes with surprise when they were faced    :
       :  with compo entries like Planet Loop by Madwizards or   :
       :  the 3d-glasses featured fr-029:dopplerdefekt           :

       :  Therefore 2004 has to be another year of improvement   :
       :  and enhancement. One thing is that we are organizing   :
