AmigaOS 4: 3D-Astronomy program Celestia
Andrea "afxgroup" Palmaté has ported the 3D-astronomy program Celestia to AmigaOS 4. The archive includes only very small objects. If you want to use the program more intensively you have to install additional extensions.
Apparently some "Out of Memory"-errors may happen if you want to change the size of the window. The author recommends to start the program again when a new size of the window was set.
Celestia requires MiniGL 2.1 Beta.

Remake of GVP-products
GVP-M is going to produce some of its Amiga extensions. The American trader Hut offers the following products in his webshop:
- GVP 4MB and 16MB 60ns RAM Module
- GVP 4060DT
- GVP A2000 060 Accelerator
- GVP Spectrum Graphics Board
- GVP Typhoon A1200 030 40MHz Accelerator
These products probably will be not delivered to Europe because it is a remake of old developments which do not square with the RoHS-directive.
