AMIGAONE Yahoo Chat
Shawn (aka Amigaone) has created a chat with subject ´AmigaOne´ at Yahoo.
To take part a JavaTM capable browser is required and you will have to register for
the chat at Yahoo. On Saturday, 9 June (7 pm) a live chat will start where users will
be able to discuss theire wishes, criticism, and suggestions for the AmigaOne. The
log-file will be forwarded to both Bill McEwen and Fleecy Moss. Who would like to
receive the log-file, may contact amigaone@powerh.net.
Supplement:
Since we were advised by many people that the initiator is about to be somebody
who lacks seriousness, we suggest to read the
comments, too.
Original message with more details.
This chat will include voice. Just get your mics and plug them in. Or
at least turn the voice on. First go to yahoo. Then click on the Chat
link. Register as a user if you haven't done so. Don't download the
messenger because its windows unless you have a windows machine then
come early and download yahoo messenger.
Once logged in, click on the start chatting button, its java so it best
to use a Java capable browser. Go to AMIGAONE room and I AMIGATHEONE will
be there. Along with many others.
Starting SAT JUNE 9th, 7pm central and lasting till whenever there
will be a live chat on the new AMIGA. All may truly express their
feelings on what they dislike and this log will be submitted to Bill
and Fleecy.
You may contact me at amigaone@powerh.net
to get the log of the show. I personally invite people who wrongly
believe in the pci and agp solution. IF they aren't there it only proves
that they are wrong and cant put up. This is an enlightening forum for
truth and helpfulness. Nothing else. Absuses will not be tolerated and
anybody doing so will be booted by me or my assistance whom I trust.

Webtool: SiteWay-Modul 'ImageEditor' Version 1.33
Christoph Poelzl of
RMS Communications advised me that
more and more digital cameras (e.g. Canon EOS D30, Olympus E10, Kodak DCS 760....)
are using a raw format, which apparently no Amiga software can read. Utilizing
the two new loaders ´RAW Grey´ and ´RAW Color´ the
ImageEditor
in principle can read any raw formatted picture (e.g. sculpt), now.

'Business Cards' of Chip Designers
Any Amiga user is aware that hardware and software designers like to leave some
personal remarks (easter eggs) in their work. More difficult is to find such 'business cards'.
Those reside on silicon chips and can be made visible only by using a microscope (or even an
electron microscope).
Here are two pictures from Motorola PowerPC chips:
Motorola XPC 750
Motorola XPC 603

Programming Language: Emperor Introduces Itself
Emperor is an object-orientated programming language which enables the user in a most simple way to
write applications and tools for the new AmigaOS 3.9 as well as for AmigaOS 2.0.
Standard-GUI-elements like windows, menus, requesters, ASL-requesters, ReAction- and GadTools-gadgets
are integrated by clicking the mouse and can be programmed with the help of macro functions and integrated
text editor. The gadgets can communicate by implementing of so called Interconnection-maps without
typing a single line of source code. It is also very easy to create locale-catalogs and variables, to
integrate libraries and so on. Emperor has an easily understandable and user-friendly ReAction-Gui and
a detailed online-handbook in the ".guide"-format.
Programming the new AmigaOS becomes a pushover!
Emperor is available in the completely reworked version 4.0 and has the following features:
- Immediate visualizing of each element available
- Generating C/C++-source code
- Integrated text editor
- StormC-connection via ARexx
- Generating source code for AmigaOS 2.0, AmigaOS 3.9 or in mixed modus
- Memory use drastically reduced (requires: 3 to 4 MByte)
- Fixed some minor bugs of the previous version
- Extended handling of GadTools-gadgets
- Understandable layout
- More complex menus
- FREEWARE
You can download version 4.0 of the program on Aminet-directory "dev/c".

Heise: Karlsruhe judges Future of Domain Names
»Federal Supreme Court in Karlsruhe will effect a Domain hearing on Thursday which is considered to be
trend-setting for handling general describing web-addresses.
First the conflict about the domain www.mitwohnzentrale.de had exercised judiciary of Hamburg. In the end
of 1999 regional court of appeal allowed the suit of the roommate center compound HomeCompany and
had forbidden the defendant Ring Europaeischer Mitwohnzentralen (REM) to continue using the domain because of
anticompetitive action. The use of terms without individual additives would interfere competition at
the expense of competitors. This would lead to an "interception" of possible customers just wanting to
explore the tender at the market section by 'hit or miss'-typing the Domain name. Because of that they
would accidently come to the defendant's sites and would stop searching for other competitors and
therefore would not compare other services.«

Heise: IBM WebPAD
IBM will publish a WebPAD with QNX Neutrino as OS and Opera as WWW-browser. A customer also has been found, yet.
If the device contains a PPC or a x86 processor was not mentioned in the message. IBM had announced PPCs
for Internet appliances (just like this one) where graphics chips and parts of the periphery will be integrated
on the chip.
And if anyone wonders why this message belongs to the newsticker, here one hint: "This could have been the
AmigaNG (QNX+Opera+[PPC ?])".

Ultraconv Online Registration
Already early this year we took over distribution of Ultraconv, formerly
distributed by RBM. Due to the last release took place some time ago, we can hardly
determine if there is sufficient demand for a new version, again. To find out
about the number of active Ultraconv users, we decided to raise a registration
project for Ultraconv. We ask all of the Ultraconv owners to register online.
It's understood that your data will be kept in confidence and will not be handed down.
