`08.May.2004` amigaworld.net (Website)	Amiga Java: Status report from "JAmiga" The JAmiga project has released a short status report: "JAmiga status report May 2004 it's been a long time since our last status report and things have become very quiet around JAmiga. However, a lot of work was done in the background. We have meanwhile ported JAmiga so that it can be compiled with gcc which will open up chances to compile it for other platforms. While being a major task, for most users no difference between the StormC and gcc version will be visible. We are planning to release a new version with the classpath 0.09 fairly soon, once all classpath-changes have been properly reflected within JAmiga. Eventually, you may be able to use a few AWT gadgets by then, but no promise about that :) New JAmiga Forum We now have our "own" Forum on www.jamiga.org which may be used for chitchat, discussions, requests, etc. First donation arrived Only a few days ago, we have received our first donation -100 EUR- wow. Thank you very much! We have therefore decided to put up bounties for certain tasks.... Bounty for ZIP File reader This bounty is endowed with EUR 50. It will go to the person that writes a ZIP Reading "JavaStream" class. Please see our Forum or contact us if you're willing to help! best regards, Your JAmiga Team" (cg) [News message: 08.

`07.May.2004` Heise Newsticker	Intel announces Dual-Core-Processor for desktop-computers Intel has announced a desktop processor with Dual-Core for 2005. The planned Pentium-4-Prescott successor with codename Tejas will be not produced. The company has not given any statement if this means the end for the Pentium-4-architecture; but it is more likely that Intel turns to the Pentium-M-architecture that does not need so much current.

`07.May.2004` Amigart (Website)	PC Magazine: John C. Dvorak mentioned AmigaOS 4.0 On issue from 4th May 2004 John C. Dvorak mentioned in US-American PC Magazine on page 65 after MorphOS (amiga-news.de reported) also AmigaOS 4.0 and called the competition between the two PPC operating systems as possible lucky chance for the desktop computers. He wrote: "Amiga Not Dead Yet Dept.: When I wrote about the MorphOS initiative, essentially a clean-room redesign of the Amiga OS for the PowerPC, I failed to mention that there is still a lively pure-amiga crowd that is developing a new OS for a PowerPC iteration of the original Amiga. OS4's implementation should modernize and perhaps revitalize the platform. A competition between these two camps could be the best thing to happen to desktop computing in decades."
