Iwin plans to present the new computers in Germany
In a posting to csam Iwin states that they will release further technical details on
their website within the next two or three days, and that Martin Steinbach has agreed
with Thomas Raukamp of the German "amigaOS" print magazine to make a presentation in
Germany shortly before the official release date. Thomas confirmed the agreement.
Still, we stay very wary, we can still imagine this could be a well-done hoax, and
will only be convinced otherwise when we have seen the promised machines in action.

In our online magazine, we have opened an area (link: Desktop) for Opus Themes. (Themes
are preconfigured layout presets for DOpus 5.8x). The themes already available are looking
great and we hope we can upload many more Opus Themes.

Iwin announces new computers based on Amiga
On the website, two new Amiga-based computers are announced. For one the A510, which is planned as
a workstation with Motorola 68k (M-version) or PowerPC (P-version) CPU. The other is the A1010,
with special CPUs for Java and multimedia applications added.
More links on the subject: The Register
and AmiUpdate interview with Martin Steinbach.
Since the Iwin-Corporation (? I win?) is completely unknown to us so far, we did some research on
our own. The domain iwin-corp.com has been registered on June 21st, 1999, by Martin Steinbach,
85375 Neufahrn, Germany. The given phone number is a mobile. The phone register does list neither
a Mr. Martin Steinbach nor a company called Iwin-Corporation. The Iwin-Corporation is not registered
as a licensee by Amiga. The software named is non-existant. The trademarks A510 and A1010 do already
exist.
Due to this, we think this website is a fake.

Jason Kroll: BeOS Release 4.5
Thomas Wölflick writes:
I have found an interesting article in "Be Magazine" at www.bemagazine.com/articles/beos-4.5.html
(title link). There, Jason Kroll writes about the BeOS Release 4.5 in whole, its chances and
future.
Especially interesting was the honorable mention of Amiga in the paragraph before the
last one. Here, he writes:
..."One impediment to development, and to users switching to BeOS, is that we don't know for sure
how secure the future will be. For one thing, Amiga, supported by Gateway, is probably in cahoots
with Transmeta, and based on the free Linux kernel, is about to make a monster reappearance,
supposedly based on technologies we have never seen in home computers. How will BeOS fare against
competition from the rebirth of the original multimedia machine?"...
Preliminary congratulations, fear of an undead, or how would you call it?
