OGR launched
Today the "Optimal Golomb Rulers" (OGR) contest has been launched. However there is still no Amiga-Client,
but you can help using other computers. Details concerning Project OGR
Read the interview of the AmigaOS magazine with Thomas Tavoly in english.
Due to maintenance, the statistics on Distributed Net are currently unavailable, but will be again soon. The Amiga
RC5 Effort Website will move to a different server soon. Therefore the website may be unavailable at certain times,
depending on how fast the new IP-Number will reach all of the Domain Name Servers.

YourName@Workben.Ch
After some Amigans had registered with us, I decided to develop the whole affair further! For the moment
not only domain suffixes AMIGATOOLS.NET and AMIGAWEB.NU but also the real cool suffix Workben.Ch is
available for free email-accounts (POP and SMTP) and free subdomain. On unlimited Webspace and
email-adresses, following subdomains will be available from tomorrow on:
microserv.org - intermail.nu - amigatools.net - amigaweb.nu - microserv.nu - workben.ch - niveau.nu -
webcamhost.nu - internetv.nu - piratensender.nu - spacemail.nu - A0L.nu - t-offline.nu
If someone has a good idea for using those names in a software, he may immediately use one of
theses names as a subdomain. If someone can convince me that he can manage to write a state-of-the-art
top-quality software and that he works on it with all his heart, I would be enclined to provide a free
Top-Level-Domain for this software. Simply send me those ideas (http://www.intermail.nu) or call our
hotline. Ok folks, if there has ever been a chance to start a really big project on the internet, this is it.
GRAB IT! With our 2500 to 3000 pageviews a day there are certainly enough posiibilities for everyone.

Die Telebörse: What about..? AMIGA
On page 154 in the magazine "Die Telebörse" edited by the Handelsblatt
there is a complete article about AMIGA. Here a few exerpts:
"No other computer has been said dead this often and yet been resurrected as the Amiga. This is not only
due to the technology but also to a committed community of fans."
"Would there be an award for the "comeback champion computer business" - Amiga would own a whole shelf
of those by itself. The trademark has survived two insolvencies, it has switched its owner four times
and nevertheless 5 billion computer have been sold until now. Chaos is the second name of this computer
which has only survived because there were always people who believed in Amiga."
Then follows the history of the Amiga until the insolvency of Commodore.
"The fate of Amiga seemed sealed but then a certain Petro Tyschtschenko stepped in. Commodores former
logistics-manager talked the german trading company Escom into taking over the dead trademark. Amiga
switched its owner in 1995 but still had a problem. The stocks had been dissolved by the official
receivers. It was end of may and Escom desperately needed computers for christmas time. Once again it
was Petro Tyschtschenko who saved the day. He found a nearly forgotten hangar in the philippines, where
parts had been hoarded. Tyschtschenko managed to talk the creditors into handing those stocks over to
him. After that, three philipinos sat out in the monsum rain sorting parts for about four months. In
september 1995 one could once again buy Amigas in germany."
Then follows one more odyssey for the Amiga.
"In the late summer of 1999 Collas left. His plans where frozen and Gateway sold the trademark Amiga to
a start-up-company, Amino-Development. Its managers want to continue the work on which Gateway gave up
and develop new hardware. One thing is clear: As long as the Amiga-community and Petro Tyschtschenko
exist, the trademark will survive."

IOM temporarly unavailable
I want to announce that the provider of the IOM Film- and Videoproduction company, the Prokscha & Prokscha
GmbH from Hof has shut down all of its servers due to a running insolvency case. Since we had not been
informed about these proceedings, our new provider could not react fast enough. That's the reason why the
http://www.messefilme.de and the e-mail adresses of the IOM company are not working currently. In temporary
replacement following e-mail adresses should be used:
iom@freenet.de
mburkhar@htwm.de
I would like to use this occasion to thank the Netminds GbR company from Rehau who proposed us fast and
uncomplicated help (http://www.netminds.de)! Netminds are among other plattforms also working with Amigas,
I think this should be mentionned ;-). I hope we can get the domain back online as fast as possible.

New web address and layout
The web address of my program now (finally) is an own domain. The "old" shortcut Gateway.To/Gateway5
should be functional, but, starting immediately, my pages are available with a completely new layout
at http://www.AmigaTools.Net (title link). Together with the page update, VersCheck, Gateway.Library
and the GatewayTools have also been updated. The new layout is much faster with less graphics and
NO FRAMES!
