80th birthday celebration
On 3 December 1999 the 80th birthday of Heinz Zemanek was celebrated in the large festival hall of the Austrian Academy of Sciences organised by the OCG in co-operation with the Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Informatikgeschichte (ÖGIG).
The festival hall was too small to hold all guests and well-wishers. You can read more about celebration in the OCG journal Computer Kommunikativ issue 1-2/00 pp. 6-7 or in the pdf-file (appr. 260K; Vom Mailüfterl zum Internet).
Inspired by this festive act, the pupils of the Informatikhauptschule Feuerbachstrasse (Vienna) launched a project about the life and especially Heinz Zemanek’s Mailüfterl which they presented in the course of Museum Online in 2000.
