`11.Sep.2002` Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck (E-Mail)	Thendic France: Post A-Expo Notes 1. Pricing for the Pegasos and Betatester The Pegasos mainboard with 600 Mhz G3 (which is upgradeable AND scalable) will be sold to end-users for 560 Euros (no VAT) from Thendic-France or our Distributors/Resellers. Our prices to Resellers and Distributors are of course better and are based on volume. They are in business too. We need to support them and we will. The G4 upgrade (800Mhz) can be purchased for less than 200 Euros and you will be able to do this well before the end of the year -- if you want (see on an earlier thread here for a discussion about this). You will see basic models of the Pegasos for less than 800 Euros (including tax and taking all the different country VATs into consideration) as GGS Data in Sweden is now offering and Vesalia will soon. 2. MorphOS MorphOS gets better daily and we will delivered Betatester machines 127-133 this week. Betatester machines remain 1000 Euros because of the extras that come with it - the smart card reader, the wireless camera, and the DataPlay module - depending on what the individual Betatester is working on. Betatesters also get successively upgraded (as required/desired) to each version of the G4 and have FTP access to the latest ROM. The Betatester becomes the development machine for the eclipsis. The first peripherals will be distributed in Frankfurt at Betatester II on 12 October. 3. Linux Further, every version of Linux for the PPC known has been installed and works fine on the Pegasos. We have been especially amazed by Mac-on-Linux. Sitting next to a G4 iMac you cannot tell the difference between the machines while running the same applications. 4. Show/Demonstration Schedule and Updates a. For the Finnish Amiga Users Group the following individuals will be present: Gerald Carda (bPlan) Ralph Schmidt (bPlan) Rakesh Raghoebardayal (Thendic) Sharwin Raghoebardayal (Thendic) Teemu Suikki (Finnish MorphOS Core Developer) Harry Sintonen (Finnish MorphOS Core Developer) We will also have other Finnish Betatesters/Pegasos owners present. b. Thendic/bplan will be out in force for the WOA Show in Brentwood, Essex, UK on 2 November. c. A Pegasos Show will be held in Lodz, Poland on 16 November. Please refer to www.pegasos.pl for details as they become available. d. A Pegasos Show also be held in Moscow. A date has not been set. You will be able to see information on www.amiga.org.ru. If you want to hold a Pegasos show/demo please send us an email. We will figure out a way to support you. There are Pegasos demos being planned/scheduled in nearly every weekend until the big show in Aachen in December. 5. Un grand MERCI! The A-Expo was extremely well organized. We were very pleased to be involved. Congratulations to the A-Expo Team! We will have our pictures from the event posted to www.thendic-france.com shortly.

`10.Sep.2002` Patric Klöter (ANF)	Amiga - Mein Leben - Ask Petro... Patric Klöter wrote: For the memoirs of Petro Tyschtschenko is a chapter planned where Amiga fans can ask Petro questions and he will answer them. I do not think, that there is anybody who does not know who Petro is. But for the ones who never heared of him here a short history of his Amiga curriculum vitae: "Petro was working since October 1982 at the Commodore Büromaschinen GmbH and has seen the birth of the Amiga in 1985. After the bankruptcy of Commodore 1994 he was chief of Amiga Technologies, a branch of ESCOM, which bought all rights of Commodore and the Amiga in April 1995. As ESCOM also got into bankruptcy 1996 Petro tried everything from the survival of the Amiga and became chief of Amiga International, Inc. after Gateway 2000 bought the rights in 1997. He put himself in to the further development of the AmigaOS, then released in version 3.5. In April 2001 he retired officially from AMIGA Inc.. He has not left for all instances and is taking a boo on Amiga events to talk with Amiga fans who were customers and are now friends." Now I call the Community to ask Petro interesting questions dealing with his life and the Amiga. Sure there are people who want to know some special things about Petro. Now here is the opportunity for that. I will create a catalogue of questions for Petro he will answer and it will be a special chapter in the book. This will be unique in an autobiography. I will administrate these questions I want to make sure you note this: Please send the question to me NOT personally to Petro. The address is mail@commodore-amiga.de. I will forward the questions to Petro. Please for now only one question per person. I do not know how many question are taken up into the book, so maybe not all question are answered. Petro has been informed about this event and so this is not a joke. I thank you in advance for your interest and wait for your questions. (ps) (Translation: gf) [News message: 10.
