Kyocera PDA with Intent in Japan
Who likes to see a PDA with Intent, might do this here. Japanese might be
useful but with the flash animations not required. The exact
specifications of the "Cosmo" are to find
here. But its way to Europe seems to be still a long one. In Australia it looks like it will be to buy.

DeNIC: New DENIC name servers are showing effect
After inauguration of the new servers - among other places one in Tokio
and two in the USA - the response times for DE domains were decreased
dramatically. User in Asia, North America and from the Pacific area are
gaining most. This was shown by measurements of the Japanese domain
register authority JPRS and the DENIC. Recently Internet users from Japan,
Corea, China or Australia had to wait 300 milli seconds avaragely, this
values were more than halved now. Most drastically this decrease shows
effect in Japan where the times were cut from 270 to less than 5 milli
seconds. Requests from the USA for DE domains are also answered faster
now by the both new servers at the American east and west coast. The
response times were reduced from about 170 to 70 milli seconds.

Game: New settings for Bots Quake2-Mods
It's happend to be that the new "Battle of the Sexes" mod, which is at the Amiga
Quake2 site downloadable is incompatible if run with the default settings. At the Amiga Quake2 site I made a new QuakeII.info (Bots.info) downloadable which contains slightly modificated settings and works with Bots also.
The not yet released "Blastchamber" mod
and several other modules not yet released, might have this problem.
So better use the new icon file.

Hi all.....
It has been some time now, I have been moving and I have had
no Internet connection. But just to inform you all that I'm alive and

I got an email from Charlene, that she had a hard disk crach. So I
have desided to make an emergency Virus Help page, where users
can get the latest antivirus programs. I'll do the uploading from my
work computer (my boss does not mind) :-)
Okay, so the Virus Help Denmark page in up and running at a small
size, but all the latest Antivirus programs are on it. And only Amiga
stuff is for download.
The complete Virus Help Denmark website will be up on the 1'th of
December 2002. Then I get my ADSL connection back.
I know that this has been as much a problem for you, as it has been
for me. But this was out of my hands !!!!

Amiga Quake2 Page Online
In cooperation with Daniel Schultz: an Amiga Quake 2 webpage has been started, on which additional material regarding Quake 2 for AmigaOS
will be published in the future - such as new mods and levels, whether created by users or downloaded from the server.
Originally there were 41 Quake 2 mods for AmigaOS. Since then there have been another 20 mods. These additional mods will be
downloadable from the Quake2 page. So there will be 2 or 3 mods offered for download weekly, just check the page and don't miss
them.
To start off, the following three mods are offered:
- ChaosDM - one of the best Deathmatch mods for Quake 2
- Star Trek - contains the entire Enterprise as a level (and new weapons)
- Bots - "Battle of the Sexes" - a CTF Mod, based on classes,
in which a male team and a female team go up against each other.
The requirements to be able to use these mods are that you must have Quake2 for Amiga installed. Quake2 is available from retailers now.

Amiga Arena: Full Version of WBMenu`97
In cooperation with Manfred L. and with the approval of H. Röhricht Amiga Arena
is making possible a further classic full version of WBMenu`97. Here is a snip
from the handbook:
WBMenu`97 is a multifunctional high speed data bank system with an intuitive user
interface, with which you are placed in a position where you can have an overview
and manage and start all of your programs.
To this end WBMenu`97 offers functions, for which unless several programs must
be inserted, and is an offer to all who wish to get the most from their computers.
Thereby it doesn't matter what particular use you make of your computer. WBMenu`97 is
the first program of its type, that can take over full control of the system. Whether it is the
binding of hardware drivers or the loading of the Workbench, it's "no problem" for WBMenu '97.
You'll find more information in the handbook for WBMenu`97!

Audio: AHI/PPC 6 only for MorphOS and AmigaOS 4
Martin Blom, the developer of the soundcard driver system AHI, has reiterated that there will be
neither PowerUp nor WarpUp versions. There is only the MorphOS version (available) and the
AmigaOS 4 version (planned).
Here is his original announcement:
"Yes, indeed, today is November 7th, not July
11th. Anyway, I've been asked to clarify one thing
regarding the PPC version of AHI. There will be no WarpUp version, nor
will there be any PowerUp version. The reason is that neither of these
two systems allow PPC code to be invoked from within an interrupt?,
which is an absolute requirement for AHI. The current PPC version is
for MorphOS only. In the future, I hope to have an AmigaOS 4 version
as well.
1) While it should have been obvious by reading the PowerUp documentation,
there is nothing in the WarpUp documentation or the actual design that
suggests that it will not work; in WarpUp, it could be possible
if the implementation had allowed it. In any case, the days when I could
be bothered to write for a mixed CPU system are since long gone..."

Quake2 Amiga Port Available
On the 2nd of November 2002 at the WOASE convention in London, Quake 2 for AmigaOS officially went on sale.
The game was demonstrated in a "Death Match" between three Amigas. It ran a custom level which was specially
created for the convention. The network server was a PC, in order to demonstrate that PC users and Amigans may
play in the same TCP/IP multiplayer network, however naturally an Amiga could also be used as a server. The
Quake2 packet for Amiga contains an easy-to-use installer script, a startup GUI, and documentation in AmigaGuide
format, including the original version of Quake2 for Windows, which contains the data files.
Over 55 Quake2 mods are to be offered for Quake2 through different channels, including the Internet.
Quake2 for AmigaOS will become available from your local Amiga dealer sometime this week. The price may vary
from dealer to dealer.

Setback for Bill McEwen: The Sendo Z100 will not appear.
Even in his Executive Update at the beginning of

would be produced.
In the article from Heise "Setback for Microsoft's Handy-Operating System"

Pegasos in the Microwave and Three More Bundles
After the successful appearance of Thendic-France
and bPlan at the
World of Amiga South-East 2002
last Saturday, some new Pegasos-related developments became known. The first four Pegasos-bundles
have been determined:
- The unusual "VideoMicrowave" is a remodeled steel microwave with an LCD display
as the door and a Pegasos board on the inside. You'll find information at
http://www.videomicrowave.net.
- The "Development Suite" is a developer package for
the Pegasos, Eclipsis, and Pegasos server stack.
- The "Pega-shush" is a home-server for the long-endurance business of integrating with
other entertainment electronics. The communications occur over a 802.11b network card.
- The "Games Package" is an offer
especially for friends of good game value. More details will be announced at
http://www.pegasosppc.com.
On the 16th of November Thendic-France will spend some time in Poland at the Amiga Show 2002,
and they are going to bring a bunch of Pegasos equipment to test on the basis of a new ISO installation [new MorphOS version - dm].
This will be the first showing of the Pegasos Wireless Camera with the display software to be seen on an iPAQ (this is just a temporary solution
until the Eclipsis prototype is ready).
