Fun Time World

Now it's official, Urban!
Rüdiger Engel did mention it in his WoA-report, but now
clickBOOM has officially announced the winners,
and who is listed as the best gamer? Our "Mr. Aminet" Urban Müller himself.
Urban is awarded clickBOOM games for a lifetime, including all past and future titles.
Sarcastically, clickBOOM adds that now everybody knows what Urban is doing when the
Aminet is down again, or the last CD is delayed ;-).
Runner-ups are Jamie Sheralt, who won the MicroniK Infinitiv-tower including Phase5
CV64/3D, Luke Stowe and Daniel Platt. Congratulations.

Report in IT-sales week
Erik Zühlke writes:
In the latest issue of the IT-sales week, there has been a report about the Amiga NG
on the first page (bottom left). A picture showed the Amiga MCC (already) known to us,
and talk was about its Linux future.
Say what you might, the Amiga definitely is present in the print media right now :-).

VLRec NG 3.2 is available
Felix Schwarz writes:
Only one month after the release of VLRec NG, there is a little big update available
with VLRec NG 3.2. For the first time, you are able to simply record movies with the
VLab, saving them as MPEG or IFF Anims in full color. NTSC is now correctly supported,
too. Addittionally, many suggestions have been regarded and the "workflow" been
improved. Download now from www.innovative-web.de (tilte link), and of course
tomorrow or the day after tomorrow from Aminet.
