Dave Haynie: Entire "Deathbed Vigil" video at Youtube
In spring 1994 with his own camera hardware developer Dave Haynie recorded the almost deserted Commodore production facility in West Chester, a mass dismissal as well as a party of former employees ("wake") on the day after the announcement of the companys bankrupt.
The video which resulted from that was sold as "The Deathbed Vigil and other tales of digital angst": First of all by Haynie himself, finally as part of the premium edition of the emulator distribution Amiga Forever. Now Haynie has made available the video at Youtube for free.

MorphOS: Bounty project for new system monitor
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek, member of the MorphOS-Team, has suggested a bounty project in the forum of the MorphZone for a replacement of "Scout".
Unlike the former system monitor, "Scout NG" should not depend on external MUI-classes but will provide some MorphOS information. Besides, certain system lists should be shown in context (processes/tasks/windows as a tree).
On the website of the WArMUp ("World Association of MorphOS Users") you can donate for that project, which requires 200 Euro.
