Czech Amiga News' second anniversary
We were very surprised to see that the original URL of the Czech Amiga News, www.realdreams.cz/amiga/,
is now redirected to www.realdreams.cz/pc/. Here you find PC news and the following statement:
"Just two years ago we brought to you the first Amiga news. Many things happened and we feel it's time
to move to the "real world". New Amiga is still nothing more than immagination but it is possible we
come back sometime in the future. Thanks for your favour and bye bye..."
Strange, really strange... (ps)

#Amiga on IRCNet
Here an invitation from IRCNet to chat about the Amiga.
Since (once again) the Amiga seems to be considered a platform which
could do a Lazarus, we thought it would be good to remind all the Amiga
users still out there that there is still a friendly user base at #amiga
on IRCNet. There's always someone here to help Amiga users, discuss Amiga
related topics, or anything else which is interesting at the time :)
#amiga is usually the quickest place to find out whenever there's new
software released, or the latest news on our favourite platform, and is
generally a very pleasant channel.
A few IRCNet servers:
- UK - irc.netcom.net.uk, irc.u-net.com, irc.webbernet.net
- Finland - irc.funet.fi, irc.atm.tut.fi, irc.jyu.fi
- Netherlands - irc.xs4all.nl, irc.nl.net, irc.sci.kun.nl
Hope to see you all there :), The users of #amiga

AMIGA president Bill McEwen answers questions of Community (Executive Update)
+++AMIGA-aktuell-Special+++
After some people of the Amiga Community are confused about the implementation of Memory Protection into the AmigaNG operating system, the consideration of the desktop market and the software license,
Bill McEwen wants to say something about these points. Read the statement following the titlelink.
Addendum:
Bill McEwens talks about a discussion at the
MooBunny forum in his statement. Interesting on this aspect is an article from Squid (07/19/2000): Natural Science
Bill McEwen's statement:
In Response to Community Concerns Posted on MooBunny
We are very excited at the response that we have received in the first few
weeks of the Amiga SDK version 1 going out into the world. We have
received
lots of feedback, mostly good, some not so good, and three particular
points
have come up that we would like to address before they become common
untruths.
Firstly, it is true that the Amiga Foundation Layer which ships on the SDK
does not have memory protection. However, this does not mean that Ami™,
the
next generation Amiga Digital Environment will not have memory
protection. A
comment made in an article in the last AmigaWorld seems to have been
interpreted in such a way as to suggest that this is the case when in fact
the point being made was that Amiga is looking at many solutions for
providing robustness and security. Ami™ will provide a robust, secure
environment and we will use the most elegant and effective means to
achieve
this.
Secondly, the End User Licence Agreement that made it into the SDK is in
error as a result of a legal misinterpretation. There is NO ROYALTY to be
paid for any application either created with the SDK or which will run on
Ami™. Amiga will be creating a scheme in which third parties can pay a
royalty to Amiga in exchange for official Amiga certification, branding
and
promotion. This provides a revenue stream to Amiga and a value add for the
third party. This scheme is entirely voluntary.
The third point has been drawn as a conclusion from the first two, namely
that Amiga is abandoning the desktop market. Nothing could be further from
the truth. The announced AmigaOne will feature processor options ranging
from 600 Mhz to 1 Ghz, with other, even more powerful devices already on
the
drawing board. The conclusion to be drawn from this is either that Amiga
is
very committed to the desktop market or that we are going to build one
mother of a cellphone.
We are committed to making the Amiga THE best computer system in the
world.
Yes we are also going to go into other markets, but that does not mean we
are abandoning the desktop, the Amiga philosophy or the loyal Amigans who
have stood by the platform through the good and the bad.

UGN AmiWest2000 press release
From: Bill Borsari tekmage@amiga.org
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 01:36:54 -0500
Organization: UGN
Subject: UGN AmiWest2000 Press Release
For Immediate release:
The UGN in conjunction with Amiga Inc., AmiWest 2000 and
FortWaynemusic.com is proud to announce the second official live audio
broadcast from an US Amiga show: July 29th and 30th! Starting in 1998
from the Amiga International show, the UGN has provided live webcam and
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) from Amiga conventions world wide. It has been
our goal to enhance our informational feeds to include audio since that
very first show. At AmiWest 2000, the audio feed will once again become a
reality!
In the past we would ask our guests to join us on the IRC network to field
questions and deliver answers, but, due to the nature of IRC, efficiency
was greatly reduced. To solve that dilemma, we decided to broadcast the
guests voice over the internet as an Mpeg 3 (mp3) Audio stream.
Furthermore, we decided on the mp3 Audio format due to popularity, and mp3
players are available for nearly every platform. For the Amiga, we will
provide step
by step directions at ugn.amiga.org on how to setup the StreamMp3.rx, a
freely available mp3 Audio stream player, for Ibrowse, Aweb and Voyager.
The minimum requirements to receive the audio stream live would be a 68030
at 50 MHz and a 28.8 modem. It is also possible to use the AudioLabs
ProStationAudio software with iRec, see www.audiolabs.it for a demo version
and directions.
In order to give the Amiga community voice, questions will be accepted
through a webpage form on ugn.amiga.org up-until 2 days before the show,
and we will moderate an IRC channel for questions during the interview. New
for AmiWest we will have ICQ and AIM ability as well. The guests will be
given 1 hour to answer questions and discuss important issues. Our plan
involves
hosting guests during day and broadcasting the banquet on Saturday night.
Also, we have confirmation that Bill McEwen will be available to us during
the show.
Refer to ugn.amiga.org for the broadcast times and a schedule speakers.

Outlook Virus Warning from MSNBC
Several virus warnings have clearly pointed out that Outlook is an unsecure mailing software, as in the begining opening
an attachment was enough to give crackeres free entrance.
A bug in Outlook and Outlook Express as well, which occures when the software trys to read malformed datefields in which
a long string of GMT is written too (Malformed eMail Header Vulnerability), leads to an overflow error (buffer overflow),
which then can crash the application or - and this is much more dangerous - crackers can use this for execution of any
program code by sending a suitable prepared mail. Recieving such a mail is enough!
Microsoft offers a patch for this problem. To use this
patch the Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1
must have been installed.

Audio Effects for Casablanca
Together with MotionStudios VWP developed two software packs with audio effects for the video editing system Casablance.
The "SoundFX" pack contains several effects for editing, adulterating, enhancing, and mutating the video sound.
The "SurroundFX" pack has several features for sound surround decoding. Beside free positioning inside the
perception space these effects allow editable and default sound movement, provided a surround decoder (Circle or dolby surround
compatible) is connected to the Casablanca. More information here.

testing, dispatching and development.
