Apple: Decreasig Market Value
Financial Time Germany: "Apple: Different problems than the rest of the PC branch"
«From surprised to outraged was the reaction of financial analysts on the reduced profit forecast
of the US computer manufacturer Apple. Several influential banks changed their bargain recommendation for
Apple shares into warnings on weekend. Admittedly some of the banks mentioned Apple's problems not to
be typical for the branch.
Surprisingly Apple reduced their profit forecast for all business units on Thursday. The Apple market lost
52% of value, almost 9 milliards USD of market value were lost.»

Shoutcast/Icecast Client Released for the Amiga
Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz has written a Shoutcast/Icecast Client for the Amiga
and called it "StreAmi". There are two very popular audio streaming systems called
Icecast and Shoutcast which are able to send MPG audio compressed audio data
through the net. StrAmi allows you to fetch these audio files from any server
and listen to them in real time.
This way, you can very easily listen to radio via internet. The program has a
MUI interface and requires nothing more than a TCP/IP stack like Miami or AmiTCP
and of course a fast internet access. You'll find lists of servers at
www.shoutcast.com and
www.icecast.org.

Amiga Impact Cooperates with Planet
Online magazines increasingly cooperate with print magazines. The French
online and news magazine "Amiga Impact" announces to cooperate in future
with the print magazine "Planet".
amiga-news.de for example cooperates with the German
Amiga Magazin.
These partnerships are very positive for both sides as resource sharing means
that the print magazines can concentrate on the editing of the news without
having to spend considerable time to look for news.

Spoletium3 Demo-Party
Bella Italia - Felice AMIGA - is not the official slogan of the AMIGA only demo party in
Spoleto (middle Italy), but might it be!
The arrangers of the party are promising: a scenic place for the event, interesting contacts,
valuable prices...
Who wants to try this, and maybe would like to put a short leave in Italy through this demo party which
will take place on November 4th, 2000: all the necessary information (also a detailed way description)
is to find at the titlelink. You can also download an invitation intro there (about 200 KB / AGA).

A.C.T. Stops Amiga Sponsoring
From the end of October 2000 A.C.T. and the co-operating ISP will stop all sponsoring actions
for the Amiga area. This will also concern every sites hosted at "amiga-software.com".
Single developers or groups who are sponsored up to now have already been contacted via e-mail, but
many of the addresses don't seem to work any more or the people are no longer interested in
Amiga.
Hence A.C.T. asks all web admins whose sites are sponsored or hosted by A.C.T. to move these sites to another
provider by the end of October 2000.
For some of the sites - among them amigasystem.org - the web admins are looking for successors, because otherwise
these sites would be canceled outright. Also concerned by the sponsoring stop is the hardware and software
sponsoring: from now on A.C.T. will not deliver hardware or software products for free to "up-coming projects" or similar.

ACT: FAQ on Sponsoring Stop
- The domain names will not be canceled for the time being, but either will be released exempt from charges to the
sponsoring receivers or will be sold in early/middle 2001.
- I beg you to refrain from offering adoption of certain sites to me via e-mail. Contact persons are the web masters.
Since the domains will not be canceled, the web space could be hosted "anywhere". I would like to care for DNS changes.
- Our partners, and ourselves of course will continue to host sites at our usual conditions, if desired by the web masters.
It just doesn't match our future business plans to operate this special area for free.
