another year has passed. perhaps another year has been wasted. we count thirtheen years since 1989. and with every year that passes, december 1989 loses more and more of its meaning. take five minutes to think about this. we created a poster to mark the anniversary. click here to download it in its original size. the poster is also available as a 1024x768 wallpaper for your computer desktop. click here to download. this poster uses a picture downloaded from http://www.infotim.ro/memorial89/fotografii/fotografii.htm.
