In Memoriam: Commodore Business Machines
Ten years ago today, on the 29th of April 1994, the onetime USA computer giant Commodore Business Machines declared bankruptcy. Commodore UK and Commodore Germany persisted a few more months, until the Amiga rights were sold to the German concern Escom and later to Gateway 2000. Today, the Amiga OS rights belong to KMOS, the trademark belongs to Amiga Inc., and the Commodore rights and trademark to Tulip Computers.

MorphOS: CPU-Monitor (Update)
Ecologically friendly CPU Monitor for MorphOS
I'm very proud to annouce that we could finish today the first ever ecologically friendly CPU Monitor for the MorphOS operating system.
CPU Monitor 1.0 is completly based on old and recycled source code. It is also completly recyclable for further use and all non recyclable parts, like the falled out hairs of the development crew, are 100% biodegradable. It was for the first time ever possible to renounce animal experiments, therefore no coders were harmed during the several years lasting development of CPU Monitor.
We're very proud and excited about this success!
Please visit http://www.the-recyclable-cpumonitor-project.org for more information and corporate inquiries.
We opened the shop so you can order your 100% chloroform-free copy of CPU Monitor 1.1 for the MorphOS operating system (C.O.D.) NOW! Also a CPU Monitor Brochure for immediate download is available for free.
