Flightsimulator "Flight Gear" Is Open Source
Amiga game writers should have look at the titlelink, where source code of the
flight sim "Flight Gear" can be found. A hardware accelerated MESA or Open GL
is required, so this should be an ideal project for a Warp3D powered MESA PPC
Amiga.

Amiga in K1 Reportage (German TV)
Robert Wahnsiedler writes:
Yesterday, about 1:00 AM, I stumbled across a repeat of "K1 - Die Reportage", and
what did my tired eyes see in a report - an Amiga 4000. :) -.
It was about payment on internet by credit card, and how easy it is being cheated.
They showed an interview with Evrim Serim (sp?), a long-standing Amiga user and
co-author of the book Hackerland. It was briefly shown how easy it is for a "pro"
to hack into a simple site, and read out the credit card data. The interview was
made in his room, where he sat in front of an Amiga 4000, which was easily recognized
by keyboard and desktop. :) The screen was not that much visible, but the great Boing
ball sticking to the monitor :). Great advertising for insiders... :).

Heise (producers of the reknown computer magazine c't) writes:
Another veil of secrecy around the company Transmeta was lifted by the
ClieNT Server NEWS in their issue
310, dated August 2nd, 1999. There, it sais that the Californian high-tech
company has won its first OEM customer in Amiga. Officially, both companies
remain quiet, Amiga just hints at the hardware used in a Product / Technology
Brief.

VWP: Virtual News
Michael Pfeiffer writes:
Temporary result: AmigaNG survey
The survey on the subject AmigaNG has a temporary result. The new Amiga might -
at least among the users already possessing an Amiga - become a full success.
Over 64% of all users want to buy the new powerhorse directly when available or
within 3 months. Those who have probably been set back by the Linux announcement
and do no longer want to own an Amiga are a minority of under 5%. The survey,
which gives important information to VWP for their future software development,
is continuing (link above).
New: Browser hit list
The VWP homepage now collects statistical data on the browsers used. This statistic
is different from others in that it recognizes browsers spoofing as Mozilla (like
AWeb, Voyager and MSIE). So, there is a hitlist available offering a real insight
in market shares and usage of browsers in the Amiga szene. This hitlist can be
found at the link above, under "statistics".
New: WaveTracer DS & AudioForum
The VWP homepage now offers a special forum
for the WaveTracer DS and related Audio questions. Here, you can state questions,
post hints, give tips and state your POV. This forum should prove being a quick
help with problems related to WaveTracer.

New akDatatype: akNAIL
Andreas R. Kleinert writes:
I have uploaded a new datatype to Aminet, called akNAIL. Since it is a "special
manufactured" datatype for IFX thumbnail files with .info extension, it was released
as Shareware. Registering by RegNet is only possible bundled with the other three
datatypes - other than this, there are the usual bundle offers.
