6.5.02 Day
Harry Reminder serves
up a sweet treat to celebrate a special occasion
On 6 May 2002 we had
a historical date, which corresponds to the model number
of the Atari 8-bit processor, 6502. I think a real Atari
freak has to celebrate this day. Fortunately this was
also the date of the monthly meeting of ABBUC's regional
user group in Frankfurt (RAF). This time we met at my
flat and I expected up to eight visitors, four members
of the RAF and four friends.
I decided to prepare
a surprise for my guests and combined the general subject
of our meeting with the special date. Instead of providing
them with cola and snacks as usual I also made a cake,
a very special one.

Three banana pieces form the
Atari logo (now I know why they are bent).
The two Pac-Men are made of apricot halves
with small nuts as eyes.

The remaining space was filled
with cherries and covered with gelatin.

CPU = Creamy Processing Unit! |
My guests looked
really surprised and were pleased when I showed it to
them. It took only ten minutes to eat the complete cake.
They said it tasted good. This dinner was a homage to
Atari.
Due to the American date
format, there will be another 6.5.02 day on 5 June 2002.
