posted Sep 6th, 2003 - The transition of the NSL News headquarters from DeLand to Gap, France, went smoother than expected. It took a few hours and hick-ups to set up the office, but finally the NSL computer was successfully connected to the internet. NSL News reporter Kurt Gaebel was fortunate enough to run right into Omniskore Master T1 Ted Wagner after arrival and when the first technical problems occurred. Jump Shack President John Sherman also offered his technical expertise to help, while his Marketing Manager and U.S. team member Nancy La Riviere tested the "Mega Booster".

The local French Master Technician Christophe Balisky, who is a member of the French 8-way CReW team and in charge for the whole technical Mondial network, then took the time to synchronize the NSL computer with the local Internet system. The NSL News was set and ready to go. The help is greatly appreciated, especially since the staff was very busy to prepare the event. Well, T1 reminded Gaebel on the beer rules, and it did not take too long until the work was finished and both could enjoy the overview of the competition arena from the terrace of the new airport restaurant.
