Sunny prices at IOSPIRIT
Felix Schwarz writes: It's sunny and warm - it is the time where people are refuelling their energy... And it's the time where IOSPIRIT is again lowering the prices.
Available at heavily reduced prices are fxPAINT, fxSCAN, VHI Studio
and the IOSPIRIT Graphics Megabundle (contains the latest full
versions of fxPAINT, fxSCAN and VHI Studio).
Opportunity is good... (snx)

First reports and photos from the OS4 event in Essen/Germany (update 2)
In the forum of Amigaworld.net gives Amon_Re a first overview about the OS4 event that took place today in Essen.
According to his words were almost a dozen of AmigaOne computers shown with AmigaOS 4.0 coming in the ATX as well as in the mini ITX form.
Participants had been among others:
- Petro Tyschtschenko (said to be consultant for Gericom)
- Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden, Timothy De Groote, Steffen Häuser (Hyperion)
- Jens Schönfeld (Individual Computers)
- Rakesh and Sharwin Raghoebardayal (Coyote Flux)
- Alan Redhouse (Eyetech)
- Guido Does (Vesalia)
- Ron van Herk (Computer City)
- Sebastian Brylka (Amiga Insider)
- Alexander Lohrmann (68k emulation)
- "Chip" (Moovid)
- Volker Mohr
Alan Redhouse held a speech about his aims with the MicroA1 and why China were interested in devices with little power consumption. In addition there would be a Remote Windows Client for AmigaOS 4.0. After the speech questions could be asked but nothing of interest had been said.
Regarding the MicroA1 Alan Redhouse had said that its later sales version wouldn't be finished yet. In principal, it is planned as a shrinked form with expansion slot similar the one for the main processor to have a basis to build on depending on the specific needs.
Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden held no speech but answered questions regarding the availability of AmigaOS 4.0 with "when it's ready".
Software shown were ArtEffect 4, FreeSpace and AudioEvolution as well as some ports, especially emulators.
Update: (15.05.04, 21:10, cg)
At Amiga Insider, there's also a short report as well as photos from the event.
Update: (16.05.04, 08:38, snx)

Elbox: Cocolino Mouse Interface available
Elbox Computer is pleased to announce release of the Cocolino Mouse Interface. Cocolino is a PS/2 mouse interface, with the
unique capability of supporting two scroll wheels and 3rd, 4th
and 5th buttons available in many PS/2 mice nowadays.
The Cocolino interface simply plugs into the Amiga's mouse port.
Features:
- The Cocolino PS/2 Mouse Interface is a microprocessor-based
adapter for attaching PS/2 mice, trackballs, glidepoints and
radio-controlled mice from the world of PC computers.
- Cocolino works with all models of Amiga computers. It simply
plugs into the Amiga's mouse port.
- The Cocolino PS/2 Mouse Interface is a full 'plug and play'
device. No software is required for standard use. The enclosed
software (cocolino.driver) allows using two wheels and 3rd,
4th and 5th buttons available in many PS/2 mice and trackballs.
- The Cocolino interface starts working simultaneous with the
computer's start so mice can be used in the early-startup-menu
(unlike the mice connected through the serial port).
- Cocolino uses linear movement interpolation, which makes mouse
movements perfectly smooth with any screen frame rates.
The complete press release by Elbox can be found under the title link. (snx)

Merregnon 2 - project finished!
After more than three years of development, the Merregnon 2 project is finished! The album is due to be released on 2004/05/24 in Germany.
You can pre-order your CD at shops like Amazon.de, Buch.de or Rollenspiele-shop right away, or purchase your CD at your local shop. If you live outside of Germany please refer to Music by Design Ltd. and synSoniq Records. It has been quite a journey for us, and I want to thank all of the people who are interested in our CD and have supported us with kind and helpful
feedback throughout its development. We are very proud of what we have achieved, combining live orchestra music, performed by members of the Prague Symphony and the New York Philharmonic; Nine composers from all over the world who provided us with their own fantastic music, 80 minutes of the finest pieces; and six artists who painted a beautiful 28 pages booklet, telling the story of Merregnon. The work has been intense for everybody. The production required a lot of skill and ambition. (sn)

Amiga Java: Status report from "JAmiga"
The JAmiga project has released a short status report:
"JAmiga status report May 2004
it's been a long time since our last status report and things have become very quiet around JAmiga. However, a lot of work was done in the background. We have meanwhile ported JAmiga so that it can be compiled with gcc which will open up chances to compile it for other platforms. While being a major task, for most users no difference between the StormC and gcc version will be visible.
We are planning to release a new version with the classpath 0.09 fairly soon, once all classpath-changes have been properly reflected within JAmiga. Eventually, you may be able to use a few AWT gadgets by then, but no promise about that :)
New JAmiga Forum
We now have our "own" Forum on www.jamiga.org which may be used for chitchat, discussions, requests, etc.
First donation arrived
Only a few days ago, we have received our first donation -100 EUR- wow. Thank you very much! We have therefore decided to put up bounties for certain tasks....
Bounty for ZIP File reader
This bounty is endowed with EUR 50. It will go to the person that writes a ZIP Reading "JavaStream" class. Please see our Forum or contact us if you're willing to help!
best regards,
Your JAmiga Team"

Intel announces Dual-Core-Processor for desktop-computers
Intel has announced a desktop processor with Dual-Core for 2005. The planned Pentium-4-Prescott
successor with codename Tejas will be not produced. The company has not given any statement
if this means the end for the Pentium-4-architecture; but it is more likely that Intel
turns to the Pentium-M-architecture that does not need so much current.

PC Magazine: John C. Dvorak mentioned AmigaOS 4.0
On issue from 4th May 2004 John C. Dvorak mentioned in US-American PC Magazine
on page 65 after MorphOS (amiga-news.de reported)
also AmigaOS 4.0 and called the competition between the two PPC operating systems as
possible lucky chance for the desktop computers.
He wrote: "Amiga Not Dead Yet Dept.: When I wrote about the MorphOS initiative, essentially a clean-room redesign of the Amiga OS for the PowerPC, I failed to mention that there is still a lively pure-amiga crowd that is developing a new OS for a PowerPC iteration of the original Amiga. OS4's implementation should modernize and perhaps revitalize the platform. A competition between these two camps could be the best thing to happen to desktop computing in decades."

EU eastward enlargement: Customer information by Elbox and Individual Computers
On the occasion of the European Union's eastward enlargement by ten countries today, the companies Elbox and Individual Computers inform their customers about its effects on future orders.
Elbox in the European Union
We are very happy that now we are in the European Union!
Today, customs borderlines disappear between Poland and: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom.
What does this mean for our customers?
Now our packages will reach you even faster!
Also, prices for shipment are definitely lower, starting from EUR 10.00 for customers from EU!
Check it for yourself...
Visit our Online Store at http://shop.elbox.com.
With best wishes,
Elbox Computer Team
Individual Computers welcomes the new member states of the EU
The European Union got ten new member states today. The new states Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia together have about 74 million citizens who's everyday life will most probably not change significantly. We want to spare you the polemics that's seen on all media today and point to an EU-directive that affects every EU citizen when shopping in other countries. Shopping on the Internet is either done with credit cards, PayPal or bank transfers. Customers from many of the new EU member states are not accepted by PayPal, and credit cards are not very popular in eastern Europe, so the only thing left is a bank transfer for mail-ordered goods from other EU states.
EU-directive 2001/C 363/01 (PDF) applies to these cases. It states that cross-border transfers within the EU may not be more expensive than domestic transfers, provided that the currency is EUR, the BIC/IBAN numbers are used (international account data), and the transfer has been entered online. This also applies to the states that haven't introduced the EUR currency yet. It works fine in Sweden for example, but some British banks prefer not to tell their customers about this directive, and charge high international fees.
Sometimes banks try to trick their customers into making a traditional SWIFT transfer by handing them outdated forms. This transfer method still works fine, but the sender bank and the beneficiary bank deduct fairly high fees from the amount. Since the EU directive does not apply to this older transfer method, the fees are justified. You should insist on electronic access to your account, so you can take advantage from this EU-directive.

In Memoriam: Commodore Business Machines
Ten years ago today, on the 29th of April 1994, the onetime USA computer giant Commodore Business Machines declared bankruptcy. Commodore UK and Commodore Germany persisted a few more months, until the Amiga rights were sold to the German concern Escom and later to Gateway 2000. Today, the Amiga OS rights belong to KMOS, the trademark belongs to Amiga Inc., and the Commodore rights and trademark to Tulip Computers. (nba) (Translation: dm)

The Live-CD PegXMac from the PegXLin developer David Bentham (amiga-news.de reported), which allows it to boot MacOS on a Pegasos using Mac-on-Linux without a hard disk-installation of Linux, is now available.
Main features:
- Live-CD (no hard disk-installation required)

- Fast booting
- Easy to use

MorphOS: CPU-Monitor (Update)
Ecologically friendly CPU Monitor for MorphOS
I'm very proud to annouce that we could finish today the first ever ecologically friendly CPU Monitor for the MorphOS operating system.
CPU Monitor 1.0 is completly based on old and recycled source code. It is also completly recyclable for further use and all non recyclable parts, like the falled out hairs of the development crew, are 100% biodegradable. It was for the first time ever possible to renounce animal experiments, therefore no coders were harmed during the several years lasting development of CPU Monitor.
We're very proud and excited about this success!
Please visit http://www.the-recyclable-cpumonitor-project.org for more information and corporate inquiries.
We opened the shop so you can order your 100% chloroform-free copy of CPU Monitor 1.1 for the MorphOS operating system (C.O.D.) NOW! Also a CPU Monitor Brochure for immediate download is available for free.

Tool: SRename 3.9.0
Constantinos Nicolakakis has released version 3.9.0 of the tool SRename. Using SRename, which requires AmigaOS 3.0+, you can rename files easily.
New features:
- Improved the benchmarking functionality of the STATS option. Added a more
meaningful "Renamed objects per second" statistic. This figure is displayed
only if the given rename operations take at least a second, and an
additional
message is displayed if this figure doesn't represent performance accurately
because of given options or other factors.
Also added the percentage of processed files that are or would be renamed.
- Added the FORCEPATH option to force the entire filepattern to be taken as a
path regardless if it ends with a slash or not. This was added to avoid
having
to add a slash at the end of a path every time a path has to be supplied.
- Display of warnings when the parser detects problematic command sequences
that
can still be executed.
- More speed in Indirect mode and less code size by streamlining the internal
workings of Indirect mode. Several storage buffers were unified into one
making the code that handles Indirect mode much less convoluted and much
more robust.
- Further reduced startup time when Indirect mode is used.
Bugfixes:
- Mishandling of separators under certain conditions.
- Sometimes error messages weren't displayed.
- The Main component failed to be created under certain conditions.
- Incorrect number placement when modifying the Basename using swapping,
shifting or unifying 2-component basenames since version 3.8.0.
- Incorrect operation of Indirect mode in some occasions.
Other changes:
- Added the script "RenumberNoBase" for renumbering batches of filenames that
don't share a common basename.
- Fixed the "HexToChr" script to process only byte hex values.
