DawnVideoPoker: Update to version 3.5
With the first update since 2001 Richard 'DawnBringer' Fhagers brings the DawnVideoPoker now to version 3.5 (349 KB).
The changes include improved graphics and statistics. Like all the games by Richard Fhagers DawnVideoPoker is programmed in AMOS, therefore an original Amiga with ECS/AGA is needed to run the program. (snx) (Translation: ub)

Spiegel Online: Troll you, Trolls!
In an online offer of the news magazine Spiegel, Frank Patalong authored a comment about the theme "Behavior on the Internet" that was very interesting for a few users: "the Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns Prime Minister Harald Ringstorff didn't want to let it pass: an email writer called him an "arrogant, ignorant hysteric."" Ringstorff complained about the insult. Hopefully a school didn't do that - neither the one nor the other. Read the complete article at Spiegel Online under the title link. (nba) (Translation: dm)
