Hi,
Just writing to tell you about The New Image's 20th anniversary ^_^
Some of you will remember hanging out at TNI BBS, perhaps wanting to
share some funny anecdotes of those times? :)
Greetz,

This month marks the 20th anniversary of The New Image (TNI). In 1991,
TNI was born in cyberspace as the brainchild of its founder Patriek
Lesparre. Using the TNI BBS as its base of operations, TNI participated
in the semi-professional MSX scene of the 1990s, selling its wares at
MSX fairs and working closely with groups such as Sunrise and Umax. In
1994, TNI expanded its cyberspace presence to the World Wide Web, which
has been its primary hub since 1997.
Being one of the oldest entities in the MSX scene today, TNI has
acquired massive amounts of knowledge on MSX software and hardware
systems. Aside from the software TNI publishes itself, it also works
behind the scenes to share its knowledge and skill with various MSX
groups such as Relevo and Delta Soft. TNI was also instrumental in the
rise of MSX Resource Center as a MSX community center, despite later
being ousted for political reasons.
Always having been Japan oriented, The New Image started attending anime
conventions in 2007. Now, TNI imports anime figures and figurines
exclusively from Japan, selling them to fans at anime conventions. TNI
trusts to be able to combine this activity with its (non-profit) MSX
activities for many years to come.
Stay tuned for more announcements soon, as we celebrate 20 years of TNI
and solidify our plans for the future!
