Voodoo-X 1.2 released
Voodoo-X is a fast MUI interface for xadmaster.library. If you miss WinZip or something comparable
for Amiga, you should try it. It is for decompressing only, but very well made. Voodoo-X can be
found on Aminet.

Interview with Petro Tyschtschenko: "I still have loads of fun"
In an interview with the online mag amiga.topcool.de, Vice President Petro Tyschtschenko talks
about his private live, the OS3.5 sales, two new staff members in Braunschweig, and that he won't
give up (despite dwindling numbers of Amiga users; he estimates there are 80 to 100 thousand
worldwide, and about 20,000 in Germany).

C64 Specialists wanted (repost)
Note from the translator: This is a repost, since I fumbled with the layout
of the original post. Sorry. (mb)
Did the C64 work its charm on you fifteen years ago just like us? Well, probably the Amiga did that...?
The Commodore is out of production. But in the eighties, it was the favourite toy of that generation.
Today, it is catching dust in the basement or is used by a few musicians as strange sound machine. But
perhaps you can help us on our search. Perhaps you know exactly the people we have to ask.
WHO WE ARE?
We are two communications designers from Wiesbaden who grew up with the old C64. We were constantly
blamed for wasting our time with that "thing", instead of doing important things. We now catch up
on this. :-)
WHAT'S THE PLAN?
We want to publish our Thesis by the end of 2000: "Commodore 64 Culture" (working title), researching
this phenomenon. We want to show the culture that grew around the C64, and still exists today: The
8-bit machine as stange sound machine, nostalgic toy, collector's item. Experimental, playful,
multimedia. The accompaining CD-ROM will contain well-known songs as well as C64 emulators for
PC and Mac. A webpage is also planned, elaborating on the multimedia part of the book and linking
to other C64 pages.
WHAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN
We are interested in the world accompaining the C64: The history, technical details, sales numbers,
press reviews, games, crackers, hackers, first office applications, copy parties, the marketing
drive of Commodore, the demo scene, today's SID-Chip fans, the self build hardware extensions,
banner printing orgies, computer "summer camps", the booming software industry of the 80ies,
waiting for datasettes, sore fingers while typing listings and what is left of that today.
WHAT DO WE WANT FROM YOU?
Of course we have to do research. We need your help with that. We are collecting opinions, details,
background information, documentation from journalists, fans and developers. From the submissions,
we will create the compendium of the C64 culture. We are looking for every detail around the "bread box":
Every contact suggestion, whom to talk to, every website we can look at. And of course your story.
HOW TO START?
If you are interested in the project, contact us. Forefront, we want to know what kind of C64 user
you have been or still are. Please describe in a few sentences what you did back then. Of course we are
curious about any kind of stories. And of course we are looking for the answers to the most important
question: Why, do you think, has the C64 been so successful, and what did it start? Afterwards, we
will contact you, and would be happy if you could answer us a couple of questions. If you know someone
who is as interested in this subject as we are, send him this e-mail. In any case, you can subscribe
to our mailing list, if you want to know about our project's progress.
DEADLINE
Submissions should be send until end of April, since our thesis has a definite deadline. Many thanks
for your attention and help.

ProStationAudio Millennium Demo available
The Millennium demo includes a full implementation of iRec, live audio streaming capabilities.
Thanks to iRec, the ProStationAudio mixing console input (RecBus) can be switched between a
local audio board or a remote audio server, accessible via Internet or a LAN. Once connected
(Miami or compatible TCP stack required), iRec lets you record live streams. During the
streaming process, ProStationAudio allows you to monitor the incoming signal and record direct-to-disk.
