`25.Jul.2003` Olaf Köbnik (E-Mail)	Amiga Arena: AmiATLAS call Certainly many users have been worried that one of the maps of AmiATLAS did not contain a desired destination, location or attraction or even had incorrect information?! But this never has been a real problem! In AmiATLAS you can add or change your own completions. Something like that you will not find at PC route planners. But would it not be better if all users could use your changes and if you could use the changes made by other users? Therefore here is a call to all new or old users of AmiATLAS: Please report your wishes what you miss in the maps or what should be changed because it is incorrect. Information to locations or attractions are also very welcome. We are glad about all useful emails which you please send to support@amiatlas.net. For all useful and used information there will be a little surprise. Thanks to all Amiga users for the help!

Many thanks again to Marko who has mastered the second CD. Nearly all files of the double-CD can be downloaded for free on the Internet under www.commodorebillboard.de and www.funet.fi/pub/cbm.

Those who want to donate to the websites can buy the double-CD for about 15,- EUR from our retail partners. The Commodore Billboard is created from user contributions. Everyone who contributed so far gets the double-CD for the price of shipment. Distribution of the free CDs is done by Stefan "Galaktus" Zelazny, the new webmaster of the Commodore Billboard.
