Amiga Demoscene Archive: Second anniversary
z5 from the Amiga Demoscene Archive writes: "Exactly 2 years ago, we put the first version of A.D.A. online, starting with 123 productions and about 900 screenshots. I hope you had as much fun visiting the site as it was for us maintaining it. Keep the votes and comments coming, because in the end, this is what makes it interesting and this is what will make it a true archive. Motivation is still as high as it was when we started, so here's to another year. Keep the Amiga spirit alive!"

OS4: Warp3D running natively on the AmigaOne
As Hans-Jörg Frieden informs in the forum of Amigaworld.net, Warp3D is running natively now under AmigaOS 4 on the AmigaOne.
Warp3D is a 3D API which currently supports Virge, Permedia 2 and Voodoo 3 chips. Radeon graphics cards are not yet supported due to lack of time. The first Warp3D game currently running under OS4 is "glSokoban".
Update (snx, 11.11.2003, 12:50):
With permission of Fleecy Moss you can find a screenshot from the CAM magazine #10 at Amigaworld.net which shows Warp3D on the AmigaOne.

Game: Tamar Needs a New Continent!
It is on us once more. In November 2003 the world of Tamar will contain a new continent. With 280 players the existing parts of Tamar have become full.
Every time this happens Tamar is expanded with further sections. This is an ideal time to jump in the game! Start with 20 to 50 other new testers, and struggle on the same terms in this part of Tamar.
The new territories will next be partitioned off from the other parts of Tamar, allowing the possibility of development independent of the old Lords. Who will be the victor? Who has the best strategy?
We're seeking free testers for Macintosh and PC.
By 15th November, a new version of the PC client that alleviates the slow start time will have appeared. The exact features may be read in the update text.
Tales of Tamar is a PBEM round-based online strategy game (PBEM =
Play By E-Mail) from Eternity, in which you take over the leadership of a people, in a manner similar to the games Kaiser and Civilization, and in which you compete in commerce, diplomacy, and battle to bring your land to riches and glory and honor.

out of four computer mouse users suffering
from workrelated
upper limb disorders (WRULDs) and painful
hands and wrists, found their symptoms
alleviated after only two weeks of using
the MouseBean Ergonomic Hand Rest. This
is important
news for the increasing number of computer
users suffering from WRULDs and for businesses
losing millions of working days each year
when sufferers have to take time off work
