Update of the Game Exodus: The Last War
Slandmedia has put together an update for "Exodus: The Last War." This version is similar to the previous version (1.2) but runs better on graphic cards.
This was already possible in principle, but only in the clearly slower emulation mode. Along with these improvements the game is also able to run on MorphOS now, and presumably (but not tested) on AmigaOS 4.

MySQL Development Team supports Pegasos Server
30th November 2004
Uppsala, Sweden
Contact: bbrv@genesi.lu
With the support of the Genesi/Freescale PegasosPPC Pilot Project,
the MySQL core development team has received a full complement of PowerPC-enabled Open Desktop
Workstations. "We are excited about this new alternative platform. Sony Europe's
success with MySQL on Pegasos has opened our eyes to its potential. We are pleased to be able to offer our
internal resources support for this platform," said Mika Asikainen, MySQL's Partner Manager.
When it delivered the machines, Genesi provided an orientation seminar - including a focus on
the use of AltiVec. MySQL AB intends to provide benchmark results that will help demonstrate
Pegasos' superior watt/cycle efficiency and how MySQL database deployments on the platform can
reduce organizations' total cost of ownership.
Genesi is a Certified MySQL Partner
and a Platinum Sponsor of the MySQL Users Conference 2005.
