Welcome


Robert Stein

Dear Sir or Madam,

We have already reported on UNITRACC's award as a "Selected Landmark 2007" by the initiative "Germany - Land of Ideas". But now the actual award ceremony on 8 November is drawing nearer.

Even if you, our users, are all spread around the globe, we would still like to share and celebrate this event with you. For this reason we would like to invite all our users to the UNITRACC Virtual Open Day held on 8 November on www.unitracc.com.

Enter our UNITRACC rally and win our competition with lots of superb prizes. And this is not it: between 9 am and 6 pm GMT+1 on 8 November all material on UNITRACC that is generally restricted to paying users will be available for free for all users who log on with a free guest registration. Simply pay us a visit during the day! It will be worth it!

More details will follow shortly on the UNITRACC start page!

We are looking forward to celebrate with you.

Enjoy exploring the underground with UNITRACC.

Kind regards,

Dipl.-Ing. Robert Stein
(UNITRACC Editor)
