Commodore-founder Jack Tramiel died
As announced today, on Sunday the founder of Commodore Jack Tramiel has died. Under the leadership of Tramiel, Commodore was growing to the second biggest supplier of computers worldwide. The founder of a company had to leave the it due to conflicts with his longtime investor Irving Gould and changed to the competitor Atari.

Finally Tramiel came into contact with Amiga: After the takeover of Atari he found an existing contract with a little startup-company which developed a powerful, m68000-based computer. Tramiel who always said "business is war" insisted on the immediate repayment of a credit granted by Atari although he knew that the little startup-company was not able to do that.

Just before he could buy the company for a ridiculous price, his former company Commodore thwarted his plans and bought the startup "Amiga" of four times what Tramiel offered. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AROS-Distribution AspireOS 1.8
Nikolaos Tomatsidis has published a new version of his AROS-distribution AspireOS. This distribution is best configured for the Acer-netbook Aspire One and does also completely support the Toshiba-notebook Satellite Pro A200; the distribution should work with all other hardware but this is not officially supported.

Additional to updated system files (e.g. IntelGMA graphic driver), AspireOS 1.8 now includes music programm Audio Evolution and the unarchiver Unarc as well as a new theme (screenshot).

A video tutorial is also available. An update package for exsiting AspireOS installations will follow soon.

MovieSetter-Plugin for Hollywood
Press release: Airsoft Softwair has just released a very special Easter egg for all Hollywood users: A Hollywood plugin for videos created with Gold Disk's famous MovieSetter tool.

MovieSetter (photo) is renowned in the Amiga community because it is the tool which Eric W. Schwartz used to create his legendary clips like the Aerotoons (screenshot), Flip the Frog and Clarisse Cat, Sabrina, the intro of Team17's Superfrog (screenshot), the very funny Anti Lemmin' Demo (screenshot) and of course the Juggette clips.

Unfortunately, the original player written by Gold Disk bangs the hardware quite a lot and thus doesn't run on modern systems. But with the MovieSetter for Hollywood plugin you can now for the very first time experience Eric W. Schwartz's great animations in all their glory on your AmigaOS 4 or MorphOS system - fully PPC native with retargetable audio through AHI and RTG graphics as well! Only Hollywood makes it possible!

You can download the plugin from the official Hollywood portal at the title link. Thanks to Hollywood 5.0's cross-platform plugin system, versions for AmigaOS 3.x (Classic), AmigaOS 3.x (FPU), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS (PowerPC), Mac OS (Intel) and Windows are provided.

As a special convenience service we have also created a single archive that contains most of Eric's animations in just one file. Airsoft Softwair wishes all Amiga users a Happy Easter!

AmigaOS 4: Switcher3D 4.1
The AmigaOS-4-programm Switcher3D written by Tuomas Hokka shows all opened windows in a 3D view and changes between screens with an animation (screenshot).

Additional to new and reworked ARexx-commands, now Wazp3D is supported. Users of RadeonHD have to use this library instead of Warp3D and additionally have to set "Compositing2D" in the Wazp3D preferences.
