"Die Welt": How The Chips Learned Being Noisy
"Until 1985 acoustical there was no alteration according to the standard of computer sound
which was introduced by C64. To this time Atari had the idea of producing an home computer Atari ST
equip with a MIDI-interface. This Musical Instrument Digital Interface made it possible to
control electronic music instruments like keyboards with the computer. Atari ST was the first computer
in series that used this possibility and made the data exchange between computer and music instruments
possible. The built-in 8-Bit-sound-chip had only the ability of producing three mono voices, but the
main processor worked perfectly together with the MIDI-interface. Musicians from all over the world
recognized the future of computer music and almost each sound studio connected its mixing desk with
an Atari ST. Since the early nineties a MIDI-interface was standard for sound cards.
Two years after the introduction of the ST, in 1987, Commodore set a new standard for music computers
with the Amiga 500 for the mass market: four-channel-stereo was the new standard. Programming of music
directly in the computer was now possible without expensive equipment. For a long time this was
the greatest advantage of the Amiga towards other computers. Because of that and because of its great
graphical abilities it was the game computer at all."
Also in the today`s `Die-Welt`-article Concerto Commodore
it is reported of the musical abilities of the C64.

will be a MAC-port soon. It also could have been solved the audio-problem. There will be an update
for the Amiga-version in a few days.

NVidia OS Opinion Poll
There is an opinion poll at the NVidia news site in the left menu about the preferred operating system.
The Amiga is also on the list and is currently on the third place with 17,99 % after BeOS and Windows.
Supplement 11.01.2001:
The opinion poll has been canceled because the voting was falsified by scripts which vote again and
again. The script-kids do not have the faintest idea which harm they make!

«Though Corel Corporation will publish their this year's strategy first on 23rd of

notions in US reports Corel's share value rose at 7.5 % at the American technology stock
exchange Nasdaq, last Monday. Already in December speculations came up about Corel might take this step.

Picture Supplement regarding WoA 2000
Mirko Nauman has sent us a whole lot of pictures from the WoA2000. Unfortunately we cannot
publish all of these, cause 34 MB are simply way too much. We selected the nicest pictures
and made a little catalog out of these which you can find here.
This is how the pictures were taken:
Mirko filmed on the show with his MiniDV video camera SONY DCR-TRV8E and then
connected this camera via SVHS cable to his second Amiga with PicassoIV
and PalomIV TV module. As his camera takes 25 frames per second he had to
select and save the best pictures. Then he converted the pictures saved before to
JPEG using the picture format converting software GfxCon by Dirk Farins.
