Rent Troubles
=============
On July 27 2001 we (Sjakoo and ASCII) heard from the Woningbedrijf
Amsterdam
(our landlord) that our rent would be raised 900%. Since then there have

been various actions staged to fight this rent increase, as neither
ASCII
nor Sjakoo are in a position to be able to pay such an enormous rent.
The
battle still has not been decided: the WBA has not budged on the high
rent, but meanwhile, the city council seems to have realised the
importance of alternative culture in the city centre.

Mumiaplein

Recycling

Most computers in ASCII are recycled computers, donated by companies or
individuals. We try to make working computers out of old parts.
The result is used in ASCII or given to NGO's or persons who need it.
