New links for amiga-software.com Patrick Beerhorst writes: I want to point to the offer from amiga-software.com. With this page, I made it my goal to offer a link collection of good Amiga software products which often "suffer" from a long or complicated URL and are therefore unknown to many users, or quickly forgotten if you forget to bookmark it. So if you have good submissions for the page, please send them in, so I can keep the page continuously updated. For submissions, please use the offered form, or send me a mail in the format title / URL / description and address of the author. Please don't forget to mention if special hardware is required (like PPC etc.). (Translation: mb) [News message: 04.

Info for PC users: Trojan/Feliz destroys important system files "The trojan wishes a 'happy new year' [FELIZ ANO NOVO], and a face appears. However, eight important system files are deleted in the background. A new system boot is no longer possible then. Like before, beware of new year e-mails with attached files. Of course there are harmless (exe) files around. My advice: NEVER open this file, no matter from which address it comes." (Translation: mb) [News message: 04.

Steve Crietzman: News from PetroFrom: "Steve Crietzman" president@amigakernel.org Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2000 10:41:10 -0000 Organization: Campaign to Open Source AmigaOS Subject: [cosa] Some news from Petro Hi all, I've just got off the phone with Petro. Thought I'd share a little info with y'all. First, he's alive and well and still functioning as Amiga International, Inc. and will continue to operate under Amino. Tom Schmidt is also alive, well and employed by Gateway, and still around in some capacity - although I'm not sure what his new title or position is yet. He is to come over to Germany and meet with Petro soon to finalise everything. Petro sounded very optimistic about the future, and said he looks forward to continue to do his job and to the future with Amino. He said to expect some announcements from Amino in the days and weeks ahead. Keep a close eye on the Amiga website. According to Petro, there's going to be a small update later today. He also in this phonecall repeated his continuing support for COSA and Open Source and asked me to convey his best wishes to Amigans everywhere, and to let everyone know that for him, it's "business as usual." It's reassuring (to me at least) to know that whatever happens with the Amiga, the one thing we can always count on is that Petro will always be around. Whoever said we don't have stability in the Amiga world? ;-) Best regards, Steve Crietzman (president@amigakernel.org) Amiga 4000/040, 18MB RAM, 1.2GB Hard Disk, Picasso IV President, Open Amiga Group (http://www.amigakernel.org(Translation: mb) [News message: 04.

GNN: USB-expansion for Amiga The title link is yesterday's top news at GNN. GNN writes: "After the easy-to-expand Universal Serial Bus was quickly spread first by Apples iMac, and shortly afterwards by Windows 98 systems, interest is now growing among users of other platforms - at least that of Amiga users might be satisfied soon. The TigerTronics team is developing a USB expansion board for all Amiga models with Zorro expansion card, like the 3000 and 4000 series. It is labeled "Eriol", and will offer two USB ports. Low and high speed USB devices will be supported. If more than two devices are to be connected, standard USB hubs have to be used. To transmit data quickly and keep system usage low, Eriol will access Amiga memory directly by DMA transfer." Full article (German) at the title link. Another (German) article at GNN: New chance?

First official statement from Bill McEwen: Executive Update January 3, 2000 YeeHaw and welcome to the year 2000; I want to make something very clear from the beginning we have been told, that Amiga was purchased by Gateway because of the Patents, and that there were not even aware of the Amiga installed base, or the people. Gateway purchased Amiga because of Patents, we purchased Amiga because of the People. Without the people standing behind, developing, creating, purchasing and continuing to believe in the Amiga there never would have been anything for Gateway to purchase. We recognize this, and it is because of you, and what you have continued to accomplish with Amiga that we have purchased the company. I want to make sure that everyone knows and understands what this all means to you the true Amigans. Here is what was acquired from Gateway:
Specific details of the developer system, the OS partners and how one can begin developing will be released in the next couple of weeks. We will be making an announcement on January 8th, 2000 with one of our partners at CES in Las Vegas, and more details will follow that release. Fleecy, Myself, Petro, and the rest of the team are not going to make promises and create presentations and demos. We are going to deliver products, services, and the rest of the world will know what you have already known. We will be officially changing the name of Amino Development Corporation to the Amiga Corporation this week, and we will let everyone know of this change shortly once it is officially completed. I want to thank all of you for your continued support we will make Amiga what it should have been, and more importantly what it will be. Keeping the faith, Bill McEwen President/CEO Amino Development Corporation (Translation: mb) [News message: 04. Jan. 2000, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

Römer Computer also closing Neo writes in the News forum: I just found this posting in the Heise Newsticker Forum (title link) (partial): "You have to face reality! Horst-Dieter Römer on January 2nd, 2000 Hello friends! Until December 31rd, 1999, I was Amiga service partner and did quit, because it was no longer justifiable from an economic point of view." However, there is no mention of this on the Römer homepage yet. One less, again :-(( Mario Eng writes on the subject in ANF: The shop Römer COmputer in Berlin is closed, repairs and sales of Amiga hardware and supplies does however continue on the Römer homepage.

Eternity: Tales of Tamar News Since these are the first EternityNews this year, a happy new year first! The work on Tales of Tamar is making steady progress, the demo version will be released soon. Those who already own it will enjoy a yet improved version even closer to the final game: Go to the camp, and you will find a nice update for the demo version (v0.25) in one of the displayed tons! As a small gimmick, we included a small MasterMind clone named "RuneStone" which you will enjoy for sure. Additionally, we are looking for language-skilled people (for localising the demo version, subsequently the full version). People interested should contact me at pr-manager@eternity.amiga-software.com. (Translation: mb) [News message: 03. Jan. 2000, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

AmigaZone Steven Kile did send us this advertising for AmigaZone. I posted this a few days before, but forgot to upload the ad. Sorry. Greetings Fellow Amiga Users, I just wanted to let all of you know about an Amiga Web-based bulletin board, The AmigaZone. The AmigaZone is a fully menued online service you can use with any terminal program or Telnet client, and it also has a fast and slick web interface you can use with your web browser! The Zone has dozens of message bases, over 40,000 downloadable files, an Amiga Usenet newsfeed, Amiga Fidonet echoes feed, "QWK" mail and news downloading, CD ROMs online, fourteen Amiga mailing lists that feed right into our message bases so you don't have to clog up your mailbox with them, an online gif/jpg library image thumbnail generator, live chat rooms, a members' private FTP site and POP3 mail server, and more features than any Amiga-specific service you've ever seen. Yes, it's a multi- interface, easy to use, fully Amiga-dedicated online service and we'd love to have YOU as a member! I particularly like, the free email account (YourAccountName@amigazone.com). I am an Amiga user and proud of it. This lets everyone know. The downloadable files are not duplicates of Aminet. These files are found all over the web and deposited her for our convenience. I don't have time to scour the web for the files I need and this is an excellent resource. AmigaZone members can participate in nightly Telnet chats. These chats are a good way to make friends with other dedicated Amiga users and get their valuable help when we need it. The Sunday chats include prize giveaways (for more info see www.amigazone.com/pages/contests.html#prizes). This is probably the best odds you will ever find. On average, 10 or less people make it to the Sunday chats and Harv is very generous with his prizes. I am not talking about cheap prizes, I have won a factory sealed OpalVision board, and several texture CDs, and books. When you join AmigaZone as a paid member, you will be sent a FREE official AmigaZone Logo black mesh baseball cap as our thank-you gift! No strings. No baloney! Click to see a picture of the cap www.amigazone.com/images/cap.jpg. The cap is all black, universal-fit and the AmigaZone logo is in white with the Boing! ball that dots the "i" in its traditional red and white checks. Upon notification of your signup, you'll get an email with your login info and your free AmigaZone cap will be mailed to you! These hats are beautiful. I signed on after they started this program, so I had to buy mine. But even then, members often buy these items at cost. To join, use our secure signup page (merchant.calweb.com/amigazone.com/pages/signup.html), or phone CalWeb at 1-800-509-9322 or 1-916-641-9320, and say "AmigaZone Sent Me!" and the $20 signup fee is waived! All this and it only costs $12.95 per month. We all need to help keep Amiga resources available. Without our help, we will all be left to our own devices to keep our machines running. Thanks, Steve.
