Transscript of IRC Conference with Fleecy
Transscript from Harry "Piru" Sintonen
from Finland, who by the way offers many useful tools on his website.
It is astounding how the important messages always come as celebrity numbers.
The Amino / Amiga buyout was (almost) message number 2000 on this site. The last
Executive Update was #2500, and this is #2700. No kidding! ;-) (mb)

Fleecy Moss informs about developer system and plans
+++ AMIGA-aktuell-Special +++
AMIGA Vice President Fleecy Moss has just informed about the Amiga Developer System and the
company's plans on an IRC conference taking place on the Amiga show Amiga 2K taking place
today in St. Louis, USA. The important details folow:
- The Developer System contains an AMD K6 (500 MHz), 64 MB RAM and GeForce 256, which runs
the Tao System very well.
- However only the Virtual Processor is of importance, which already runs on x86, PowerPC,
MIPS, ARM, SH4 and other mega-CPUs which will be announced soon.
- The Developer System currently runs "hosted" on a Linux kernel.
- Tao only provides the core for the new OS.
- The kernel has a size of 25 Kb, the whole OS including GUI and Java needs 3 MB RAM.
- The GUI system is seperated, making it possible to add multiple GUI modules.
- The first GUI model will be very different from today's AmigaOS GUI, but users are free
to create whatever they want.
- The Developer System should be available in two to four weeks, for everyone.
- The end-user system is scheduled for this year.
- Two user groups are targeted: The "digital adventurer" (an expansion of the miga market today)
and those who basically don't like computers (Domestic Digital Habitat).
- The new Amiga website (http://www.amiga.com) will go online in a few days.
- Developer software will be available from a support website.
- Later on, the developer software should run on any PC with the named specifications, but
support will only be offered for those purchasing the system from AMIGA.
- Today, partnerships with multi-billion dollar companies will be announced.
- The Amiga technology will be available for licensing for any company with a good
idea and a little money.
- Today, there will be an announcement concerning AROS (Amiga Replacement OS).
- AMIGA itself is currently not working on an 68k emulation, but is in contact with
several companies willing to take over this job (but for different goals).
Well, I'd like to mention my article
posted a few days ago, for those users who have not read it already and now are disappointed
by this announcement. (And no, I didn't know anything more than a casual reader of the
news and Executive Updates... ;-)) (mb)

Heise: Trackerlabels: The pioneers of online music
«In the beginning there was the Amiga, Commodore's flagship in the
battle for young home users. For musicians, the box did not have much
to offer, everybody with some little equipment in those times went rather
for the Atari ST. For the ST, there was professional software like Cubase,
and it had a MIDI interface. But the Amiga had many, many colors. 4096, to
be exact. That was a lot for the times when expensive PCs had either 4 or
16 colors. Compared to that, the Amiga was something like the first multimedia
computer. The fitting multimedia software, though, everybody had to make on
his own. And the kids programmed like mad. They cracked commercial game
software, replaced their intros with own ones and spreaded their dared
animations as so-called demos - some kind of electronic graffiti culture
came into existance.
The cult got in motion when 1987 a certain Karsten Obarski published a
program named "Soundtracker" for the Amiga. Obarski worked for the game
company Eidos and probably wouldn't have dreamed back then that he would
have been celebrated more than 10 years later as a hero for this step
The Karsten Obarski Tribute Project.
But he set with this simple program the foundation for a whole scene.»

Swedish and danish Amiga magazines
It is not only bad things going on in the market for Amiga
magazines. About three months ago the Amiga community in Sweden
again got access to a magazine about Amiga in their own language.
This magazine is produced by the danish magazine Amiga Advis in
cooperation with Rolf Eric. He has this good point and advantage
that he is born and bred in Sweden.
Temporarily he stays in Denmark but have learned himself danish
so therefore he is not only a pawn in the translation and
publishing in Sweden. We hope that som swedish writers will join
the list of suppliers of articles to the magazines. When the
magazines springs from the same source they could exploit the
united efforts. Both the swedish and the danish editions are
medleys of reviews, courses, notices, correspondence columns etc.
In short, throughout a real magazine with what beongs to that.
But in short of costs, the magazines are not published in
colours. If you are interested in supporting these magazines you
can obtain them in the
following ways:
With swedish and danish regards
Amiga Advis
Svensk och dansk Amigamagasin
Det händer inte bara dåliga saker på Amigamagasin området idag.
För cirka tre månader sedan fick AmigaSverige återigen ett
Amigamagasin. Detta magasin startades av Amiga Advis i sammarbeta
med Rolf Eric som har den fördel att ha varit född och uppvuxen i
Stockholmstrakterna, men bor tillfälligt i Köpenhamn.
Rolf har blivit en viktig bricka i att få de danska texterna
översatta till svenska. Dock hoppas vi på att det också kommer
svenska skribenter för att tidningarna ska kunna växa samman.
Detta vill vi uppnå för att undvika känslan av att den ena
tidningen kommer ur den andra, så att vi får en känsla av att
tidningen skapas från samma källa.
Båda utgåvorna av tidningen är en blandning av anmälningar,
kurser, aktuella artiklar, läsarbrev med mera. Kort sagt helt
igenom ett riktigt Amigamagasin med allt som där tillhör, dock
utkommer Amiga Advis i svart|vitt tryck.
Är du intresserad i att ansluta dig till detta Amigablad, kan du
anskaffa dig något av dem på följande sätt
Svenskspråkiga Amiga Advis
Den svenska utgåvan har kommit ut med två nummer och den tredje
är snart kommen från tryck och ska vara klar till utgivning i
loppet av en vecka. 1999 (sv) är på 24 sidor i A4format och
kostar SEK 25,-
2000/01 (sv) är på 36 sidor i A4format och kostar SEK 35,-
2000/02 (sv) och framåt kommer att vara på cirka 36 sidor i A4 och

Svenskt og danskt Amiga-magasin
Der foregår ikke kun dårlige ting på Amiga-magasinområdet. For
ca. tre måneder siden fik Amiga i Sverige igen et Amiga magasin.
Dette magasin blev startet af det danske Amiga-magasin Amiga
Advis i samarbejde med Rolf Eric som har den fordel at være født
og opvokset i Sverige, men som nu midlertidigt bor i Danmark.
Under sit ophold i Danmark har Rolf lært sig dansk og med disse
engenskaber er
han en specielt vigtig brik i at få det danske blad oversat til
svensk. Dog håber vi på at der også kommer svenske skribenter
til, sådan at disse blade der udspringer af samme kilde, frem for
at det ene kun er afskrift af det andet, kan have bidrag fra
begge læserkredse. Både det svenske blad og det danske blad er en
blanding af anmeldelser, kurser, aktuelle artikler, læserbreve
m.m., kort sagt, helt igennem et rigtigt magasin med hvad dertil
hører. Dog udkommer Amiga Advis ikke i farver. Er du interesseret
i at bakke op omkring disse bladet kan du anskaffe dem på
følgende måde:
Danmark, Amiga Advis
Det danske Amiga-magasin er udkommet siden august 1996 og har
