Darius Brewka has published the new version 0.63 of AmiStart. AmiStart is a Windows like start menu with quick-launchbar, drag&drop-support and a flexible graphical surface but also allows the transparency, rounded edges, background-textures and much more. In the new version AmiStart offers also the so called shape-layer which are flexible and programmable skins for controlling external applications like ARexx. The shape-layer of Songplayer is an example.

PageStream also for AmigaOS 4 and Amithlon?
Most of the participants of a former opinion poll of Grasshopper LLC concerning the future of the DTP-program PageStream voted for a port to Amiga OS 4, MacOS X and Linux x86. Deron Kazmeier thinks that a port to AmigaOS 4 is practicable when the system will be available on market. A special adaption to Amithlon is also possible.

We're Being Watched - Scientific Paper on the Computer Scene!
This has to do with an English language 23 page scientific document from George Borzyskowsky of Perth University, a document which is concerned with the subjects of `The Hacker Scene' and associated cultural art forms. The PDF (title link) is an interesting read and offers food for thought, that here a person standing entirely outside the computer scene tries to analyze it. For his research the scientist used old Aminet CDs and editions of Amiga demo scene diskmags, such as RAW and Grapevine.
