`19.Feb.2003` Christiane Schorn (E-Mail)	WACOM at the CeBIT The WACOM Europe GmbH will attend at the CeBIT this year as a partner at the stand of the adf (Arbeitskreis für digitale Fotografie e.V.) at hall 1 stand 4D3. Fitting to the fair attendance of the adf the leading manufacturer of graphic tablets shows solutions for digital picture processing for professional and hobby photographers. The graphic tablet system Intuos2 will be shown as well as the Interactive Pen Display Cintiq 18SX for professional users of digital photography, graphics, audio/video. All input devices of WACOM work cableless and without batteries. According to the WACOM principle the digital pens and airbrush react naturally by the pressure of hand. So the user can create variable lines, soft blendings and differently strong filter effects for masking. With its innovative product lines WACOM offers all digital photographers simple and natural to use tools for the digital picture processing. (nba) (Translation: ub) [News message: 19.

`19.Feb.2003` Golem IT-News	Golem: Study - MP3s do not affect the selling of CDs reasonable Nearly weekly there are new studies made about the effects of MP3 exchange sites to the selling of CDs and the result is - often probably depending of the initiator - mostly a different one.

SciTech SNAP, SciTech's leading edge graphics device support, allows for the rapid development and deployment of embedded solutions across multiple platforms and currently already supports well over 170 different graphics chipsets including all the latest offerings from industry leaders ATI, nVidia and Matrox. A full list of supported chipsets can be found here. "We are very excited about SNAP as it offers us out of the box support for a huge and ever growing number of graphics cards and effectively allows us to redirect resources away from device driver development and cut down on time to market", said Ben Hermans, managing partner of Hyperion. "We are convinced that prospective customers of AmigaOS 4.x will appreciate the high-performance, low footprint graphics card technology that SciTech has developed over many years." "SciTech shares in the vision of the Amiga platform and is excited to play a key roll in the further development of the original multi-media OS." said Andrew Bloo, Director of Marketing, SciTech Software Inc. "By adopting SciTech SNAP Graphics as the core graphics architecture for the Amiga OS, Amiga can now offer a level of performance and compatibility equal to that of any mainstream OS". SciTech and Hyperion are set to broaden their cooperation to encompass 3D graphics support and support for other PPC based operating systems. About SciTech Software Inc.

`18.Feb.2003` clickBOOM	clickBOOM: S-Files 21 - No Winter Sleep The Canadian software-developer clickBOOM writes in its new S-Files 21: "Sorry about the lack of updates recently -- we have been very, very busy. So, without further ado let me debrief you on the latest developments here at clickBOOMville. Firstly, the interesting thing about our recent work is that it's mostly not game-related! Interested? Our first and most important project is for a new cell phone web solution that will blow you away. We will be showcasing it to the world by the end of March. The second project is for a next-generation wireless communications software for a major company, and it's part of a suite of utilities which you might be using in near future if you are going to be surfing the web wirelessly. We are currently under NDA for this project, so there is nothing more we can say until the project is finished and on the market. "Hey, but what about games?", I hear you asking. Well, as you probably noticed over 3 months ago we had removed links to new Cinemaware games which we were developing at the time. Sadly, due to circumstances beyond our control, back then we had to put on hold development of all Cinemaware games. Unfortunately, as of today the development still hasn't resumed. I will have all the info for you within 48h, I promise. Development of all our other games is proceeding according to plan." (nba) [News message: 18.
