Is the Microsoft Console coming?
Spiegel Netzwelt writes:
According to rumors, Microsoft is currently working on its own game console, which is
reported to be similar powerful than Sonys announced PlayStation 2.
The software company Microsoft is reportedly working on a game console
code-named "X-Box". The TV expansion is meant mainly for games, but could have other
functionality, too, reported US game magazine Next
Generation in its October issue, citing unnamed sources.
According to this article, the console will either run on a 500 MHz chip by
Intel or an Athlon chip by AMD, with gfx technology provided by nVidia. As operating system,
a modified version of Microsoft's Portable-System Windows CE will be employed. With
this setup, the Microsoft console might be comparable in performance to Sonys announced
Playstation 2, the article sais. As manufacturer for the Microsoft-designed console,
Dell and Gateway might be possible partners. (Full article - German - at the title link).

Intel reportedly developing video game console

Siberian Sun MP3s
Markus 'Atroxis' Holler (Freelance Composer) writes:
On my homepage (title link), in the music section there are two songs from the
realtime strategy game Siberian Sun
for download as MP3. Both songs have been used in the presentation of the game on
AmigaFormat #44, probably a goodie for those who don't have the CD (even while they
cannot watch the accompaining trailer... ;).

Iwin has two customers ;-)
Read in awe, the news platform of Iwin - .AmiUpdate, which by the way appeared like
Phoenix at the same time as Iwin - announces that Iwin has created a new section
on their website. And what does the interested surfer find: Iwin customers :-).
Probably nobody is surprised by now that the customers don't have an eMail address,
let alone a website.

'Giga' appearance by Petro Tyschtschenko postponed to 16.09.99
Aside from the info about Tom Schmidts message, Amiga-aktuell has found the following change on the Amiga website:
+++ AMIGA-aktuell-Special +++
Due to his recent USA trip, the appearance of AMIGA Vice President Petro Tyschtschenko
in the computer show 'NBC Giga' has been postponed to Thursday, September 16th, 6:00 PM.
According to the following information, however, it's hardly the Amiga future which will
be talked about, but more probably the history of our computer system:
»24.08.1999 AMIGA International, Inc. at NBC GIGA-TB
NBC GIGA-TV has invited AMIGA International, Inc. (in person of Petro Tyschtschenko)
to participate in a talkshow, since AMIGA has a very turbulent past, which is unique
in computer history. In the show, which is more entertaining than technical, there
will be talk (among other) about AMIGA in Commodore and Escom times. ANNEX will appear,
too. The show will be broadcast on Thursday, September 16th, on 6:00 PM.« (ps)

Thomas J. Schmidt in Executive Update
Dear Amigans:
I wanted to make sure everyone knew that Jim Collas has chosen to leave Amiga to pursue
other interests and opportunities. I would like to personally thank Jim for the leadership
and vision he brought to Amiga and the entire Amiga community over the past eight
months. We wish him the best of luck in his new endeavors.
I have been with Amiga since April of this year as the Chief Operating Officer and I
continue to be extremely excited about the plans and strategies we have been working very
hard on the past several months. Those plans will continue with a great business and
technology leadership team focused on the emerging Internet Appliance market space. As
we finalize our plans in this area, we will communicate those to the community.
I would also like to thank Bill McEwen for his many contributions to the Amiga community
and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. Bill has been a steady and calming
voice to the community.
Regards,
Thomas J. Schmidt
President
