ANF Windows: Alternative Amiga GUI available again (Update)
At the title link, tech magazine computerbase.de reports briefly on the project of its forum member 'Silvester72', who has written his own "Amiga Workbench" implementation for Windows 10 and 11 that can be either used as a separate application or as a replacement of the File Explorer.

Once another forum member pointed out, though, that Amiga and AmigaOS as well as the Boingball logo would still be registered trademarks, the author withdrew his program that had been available for free download before.

Update: (18:11, 03.01.22, snx)
Under its new name myWorkspace! the program is now available again. (snx)

ANF Video: De-yellowing of an Amiga 1000 (The 8-Bit Guy)
In preparation of his planned Amiga documentation, David 'The 8-Bit Guy' Murray restores an Amiga 1000 donated to him in a video at the title link. Since it is still working and technically in a good condition, the work consists basically just of cleaning and de-yellowing the case by peroxide and UV light. (snx)

Xmas puzzle: Shuffling Around the Christmas Tree
If you still need some support to get into the right Christmas mood or maybe want to do some puzzling on the Amiga together with the family after unwrapping the presents: Shuffling Around the Christmas Tree by the demo group Desire not only reached second place at the Syntax Demopoarty at the end of November, but could also perform this little Christmas miracle.

This interactive puzzle slideshow presents artwork by Terry Redlin. After a short display time of the respective picture, the pieces are mixed up. Now you have to try to restore the picture:

You use the mouse to move the arrow at the edge of the image to the row or column that should be moved and then perform the action by pressing the mouse button. The puzzle is available as adf-version and as HD-version as exe-file. The adf version requires an Amiga 500 with 512 KB of chip RAM, while the HD version requires 1 MB of RAM for it to boot from harddisk. (dr)
