`16.Aug.2000` Heise [Newsticker]	Heise: Canon-Printer with "Date of Decay" «Yesterday, in this way German ZDF-economic broadcast "WISO" reported about the case of an owner of a BubbleJet 600. This spring the four years old device started printing out the warning tank of remaining ink would be full soon after each printed piece of paper. After a little time the printer claimed remaining tank being full and finished work. The ingeneer looked after but neither tank nor absorbing felt has been soiled particularly. To be on the safe side he cleaned everything - but in vain. Printer didn`t start working again. According to WISO Canon-hotline confirmed the printer has been provided with a counter for the drops of ink given off which stops the device as a precaution after 15000 pieces of paper printed out (depending on the kind of printing) - independent of the fact if the catching tank actually was full or not. The broadcast did find out BubbleJet 600 can be persuaded starting its work again by holding the keys "Power", "Form Feed" and "Print Mode" while putting in the main plug and switching on the printer.« For full Report have look at title link.

`14.Aug.2000` Markus Lück at ANF	IRC Chat Server will be Switched Off This is not a special amiga thing but I often see users using AmIRC at the IRC-NET. The oldest chatserver irc.uni-erlangen.de became a target of massive DDoS attacks from england yesterday (sunday). The IRC-operators were forced to cut the connection of the chatserver off because the homepage of the university of erlangen was not longer reachable. With that the premiere HUB-server for the whole EU was offline. If someone attacks irc.freenet.de now the whole EU will be cut off from the IRCNET. irc.uni-erlangen.de will be online again by tomorow. Some of the attackers came from germany. Hopefully they will be soon uncovered and be called to account. [News message: 14. Aug. 2000, 00:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`14.Aug.2000` Andreas Magerl via eMail	Amiga Future: Secret Revealed ! The future of the German Amiga games magazine "Amiga Future" The end ? NO ! A new begining ! Andreas Magerl explains the future on a special page (German). In fact the so far publisher the Falke-Verlag will discontinue production and selling of Amiga Future after issue #27 because of commercial considerations. Preventing the last Amiga game magzin from being closed Andreas Magerl will continue to work with his editors. Selling will be based on subscriptions. Therefore you have to know that Andreas Magerl was responsible for the content and the Falke-Verlag for the layout and sales. Because he has not the marketing channels as a big publishing house has, the further existence depends on the number of subscriptions. A subscription form is available here. At the moment there are 6 issues availabel for 60 DM with costs of shipment inclusive (insdide of Germany). [News message: 14.
