Amiga User List
Stefan Martens writes:
Due to the really stupid statement by Amiga I decided to close down my Amiga User List on September 30th. Until then, users can enter themselves on my homepage. Shortly afterwards, the last version is released a final time, and THAT'S IT. But one thing is clear, I will stay with Amiga. It's just that I see no sense in the list anymore when many registered users are no longer Amiga users. (ps)

Following the announcement, US export restrictions on cyptographic software will be softened, the Clinton gouvernment has now released details. According to the information given, US developers of cryptographic software can now sell it virtually unrestricted to other countries. So far, the maximum key length was limited to enable gouvernmental authorities to crack encrypted messages. This restriction has been removed: Software with keys up to 64 bit does no longer need to be registered; software with stronger (longer) keys can also be exported, however it has to be presented to the gouvernment for checking.

VIRTUAL News
Since the latest Executive Update clearly shows that Gateway has no interest anymore in a decent computer platform, and the Amiga is absolutely dead, it is time for VWP to make decissions. All software projects are put on hold. There has been no final decission about further usage / giving away the source codes.
An exception to this is WaveTracerDS, there will probably be another update for this. Virtual Worlds Productions says a warm thank-you to all Amiga users and loyal customers.
PS: BTW, I will write a nice mail to the President of A**** Inc. about their politics - who else? (ps)

Possible downtime of nordicglobal.com
Due to the Florida weather forecast for the next days, caused by the Hurricane "Floyd", power and phone could be temporarily down from Tuesday 14th to Saturday 18th in Central Florida, which could affect the Internet connectivity of the Nordicglobal server (mailinglists, registering / update and website).
If eMails go unanswered or do not appear on mailinglists during this time, it is therefore not necessary to send them again. They are automatically collected and processed later.
If access to the website or the registering / update server fails during this time, please try again a little later. (ps)

The Phoenix Platform Consortium will therefore take over the responsibility to give Amiga users and developers help and recommendations for reference platforms.
This will not bring about a "new" Amiga, but the road is set for a platform honoring the Amiga feeling. The member list is truly impressive and promising. (ps)

new Project: IMP - Amiga as Open Source
Volker Mohr writes:
Some days ago, when Jim Collas (was made) left, I suggested to find a sollution saving the Amiga plattform as Open Source, even if the people at Gateway have different opinions of the future, or worse still, none at all.
My original suggestion was using CHRP as hardware basis for new computers, simply because being independant from a single manufacturer of hardware. As OS, a specially modified and expanded version of an Open Source OS (Linux or a BSD) could be employed.
Aside from criticism, I recieved much more support, have been contacted and mailed if I mean it seriously and how it could be done.
A team has slowly emerged, which started a project with the preliminary title "Project IMP" (Independent Multimedia Platform). First ideas and plans have been collected by me in recent days, and released at the title link.
If you want to participate, have own ideas etc. please contact me. Since we only have a chance if we make it public, I decided to to so after talking to two other team members. I think it's about time to take our favourite computer's fate into our own hands, and save what can be saved :-( more ... (ps)

Version Watch Offline... for duration?
I am frustrated. I am angry. I feel really sick about the ongoings - or lack thereof - at Amiga Inc.
And I don't see any sense in investing considerable amounts of time in this Amiga-related project right now. The Version Watch will be down until further notice. The only Amiga-related activity I will currently maintain is my work at amiga-news.de. If things brighten up at Amiga Inc., I will reestablish the Version Watch.
If not, I might turn this into a Linux service. Perhaps. Maybe.
Damn, they really killed me with this one. :-( more ... (ps)

In his Amiga Aktuell Special, Carsten Schröder writes:
So far, the article from Businessweek Online, which drew so much attention recently, has neither been confirmed nor denied officially. Several sources, however, indicate that an official statement by AMIGA is planned for this Tuesday. Meanwhile, Stuart Walker of the programmer team Digital Images, which already has announced games for the Amiga MCC, is cited by a Gateway employee: "I am going to wait until we hear some news from within Amiga. I was told that the AmigaMCC was definitely going ahead". Shortly after Jim Collas resigning as AMIGA President and CEO, Digital Images had canceled Amiga MCC game development, only to take back this descission a short time afterwards.
Bottom line, confusion is perfect. We will have to wait until Tuesday, to recieve clarification (at best) about the AmigaNG future. (ps)

Customers able to protest against credit card misuse
Heise writes:
"If you just give your credit card's number, you are not responsible for damage done by misuse." The usual contracts of credit card companies states that the customers are not made responsible if the payment was done without billing - means, no signature, no PIN. Full article - German - at the title link. (ps)

New sound processing software: Assampler
Henning Thieleman writes:
Sound processing more complicated than ever: Assampler
Again a new sample editting software? I'm afraid, it is. But with a nice MUI GUI and a straight forward object oriented conception so that you have no other choice than testing it. A great toy for all sound inventors. Download: Assampler.lha, AssamplerExtra.lha and AssamplerDebug.lha. (ps)
