In less than two weeks the World Charts team we will be in
Atlanta, where the E3 will be taking place. (For those of you
who've never heard of E3 before: this is the biggest trade show
for computer gaming companies and all related businesses.) Some
readers have already asked us to meet with them, which is of
course something we are very willing to do. If you have a great
website, a magazine, a game or any other interesting business,
then drop us a note. We'll be sure to meet you and chat about
your business and ours.
Cheers,
Jurgen.
