`10.Jan.2003` Thorsten Schölzel (ANF)	GetBoinged.de will go online in two weeks Thorsten Schölzel wrote: The website www.getboinged.de which has gone offline some time ago will be online again in two weeks. The goal has clearly determined: Supporting x86 users who use AmigaOS via WinUAE. The workshops describe the installation of AmigaOS3.9 for getting the best sound as well as the creation of an Internet connection with Genesis. I try to show that the use of AmigaOS is very easy with the help of an Amiga emulator. The proper preferences are very important. But before I will present you this issues I want to finish designing the homepage. You will be able to watch the site with AWeb, IBrowse and Voyager in any case. Now I want to speak a few words to the "negativ thinker": "Currently there is a stagnation at users and developers. Why is it so? By working with UAE I could convince users having the Amiga system. Today they use Windows and AmigaOS/WinUAE in a friendly coexistence because there is good software on both sides. Try to expect the future a little more positive!"

`09.Jan.2003` Petra Struck	Interview with Urban Müller (Aminet Administrator) Interview with Urban Müller by Petra Struck - 09.01.2003 (In Deutsch) As we had to report in early January, the Aminet series of CDs was cancelled. So Aminet CD #52 will be the last one put together. This turn of events compelled us to ask a few questions of Urban Müller, the person who does the CDs and is also an Aminet administrator. Amiga-News: Who is Urban Müller? Urban Müller: I'm an Amiga fan since way back when. I first satisfied this passion during my IT studies and then as I worked as a search machine programmer. Amiga-News: What constitutes Aminet and what is Aminet? Urban Müller: Aminet was the attempt to ease the load on our university's Amiga archive through the use of mirrors, and it succeeded through the help of volunteers. Amiga-News: How many years have you busied yourself with Aminet? Urban Müller: Oh my God, it's been almost ten years! :) Amiga-News: How is Aminet organized? Who does what and how long does it take to do it? Urban Müller: The two moderators - Matthias Scheler and I - proofread all uploads for correct .readme file, to make sure there are no viruses, for appropriate content and correct category designation. Normally this doesn't take too much time, however new features (for example the new web interface from Andrea Kareth) and the maintenance of the many mirrors take some time. Amiga-News:* What sort of difficulties have you had to overcome in this enterprise? Urban Müller: Almost everything has gone quite well. Only occasionally are mirror admins difficult to reach, and I myself have a network card problem with the Amiga :) Amiga-News: How is Aminet financed? Urban Müller: Luckily Aminet's financial requirements are not very high, because bandwidth and storage space have been provided by universities. Amiga-News: The cancellation of the Aminet CD series will leave a hole that will not be easily filled. Why exactly is it being stopped? Urban Müller: The number of breaks shrank steadily, also in part it's due to the fact that almost everyone can connect to the Internet and therefore doesn't need a CD. Amiga-News: Under what circumstances would it be possible to carry on the CD series, for instance would it help if we had a subscription campaign which registered 500 new subscribers? Urban Müller: I think that would only postpone the cancellation a bit. Amiga-News: Could you possibly turn over the rights to make Aminet CDs to someone else? Urban Müller: I wouldn't rule that out, if someone is interested. Amiga-News: What feelings do you have about the current Amiga situation? Urban Müller: It's going to be difficult for the Amiga to expand the tiny user base after such a long period of standing still, but I would like to be surprised by positive developments. Amiga-News: Do you still have an Amiga? Urban Müller: Of course, but now I spend more time using Linux. Amiga-News: In closing, is there anything you would like to say to readers? Urban Müller: I thank all the people who have contributed to Aminet, especially the software authors, who have invested countless hours. Without them the Amiga would never have been useful for as long as it has. Amiga-News: Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to our questions. (ps) (Translation: dm) [News message: 09.

`09.Jan.2003` Golem - IT News	No Soldering Required: Radeon 9500 Conversion to Radeon 9700 Driver patch enables functions only offered by more expensive products. After the Russian website Overclockers.ru publicized a modification in which one could change a Radeon 9500 with 128 megs RAM to a better-performing Radeon 9700 with a BIOS update and a bit of solder, the story continued: tinkerers found new ways to do the same thing without any hardware modification nor warranty voiding, although there are a few restrictions.

`09.Jan.2003` Amigaworld.net	Amiga Inc. Website Covered in Computeractive's Netcharts The website of Amiga Inc. has landed in the "Netcharts" section of the English-language computer newspaper 'Computeractive.' The website is described as follows: www.amiga.com Unlike the rest of the 1980s home computer systems such as the Sinclair Spectrum and Commodore 64 that went west during the early 1990s, the Amiga is still reasonably common. All sorts of software and applications are still being developed and Amigas are still widely used to create video effects for TV and film. (ps) (Translation: dm) [News message: 09.

`06.Jan.2003` The Register	The Register: Microsoft's masterplan to screw phone partner - full details Andrew Orlowski deals in the English language article, which you can read under the title link, in detail with how the dispute between Microsoft and the telephone manufacturer Sendo started out, and who carries which responsibility for this argument. In this connection we remind of the fact that Amiga Inc. announced in their Executive update of November 2002 a partnership with Sendo concerning their Smartphones Z100. The telephone should be delivered together with the SmartPhonePack by Amiga Inc. Few days later Sendo announced in a special report that the development program for Smartphones was given up, and as consequence the Z100 will not be delivered.
