Amiga.org Soon To Go Temporarily Offline
Sometime between Friday, January 9th and Monday, January 12th, the Amiga portal amiga.org will be taken offline for an unspecified time to accomplish maintenance and upgrades. During this time, and for a while afterwards, e-mail forwarding will not work. They report they've been planning these actions for quite a while, but the changes are quite in-depth, and prone to error.

Contrary to circulating rumor, Amiga.org is not being retired at this time. They state they will be back ASAP. More information about the changes and new features will be made available after their return to service. (cg) (Translation: dm)

AROS: Poll About Desired Hardware
Under the title link you'll find a survey that those responsible from Team AROS are trying to find out what potential AROS users want. Would you rather run AROS on high performance hardware, or the quietest hardware, or the cheapest hardware? (cg) (Translation: dm)

BTTR: Previously missing HD-Games added
The BTTR-Team writes: Although already announced in our Christmas update we forgot to add 20 new HD-Games into our database.

This mistake has been fixed today, so if you already downloaded all files of the update then please check the HD-Games link on the news page for the previously missing files.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but imagine, we added 3890 entries and more than 25GB of new files with the last update (that's about the size of entire Aminet), so the error ratio isn't that bad. ;-) (nba)

People: What happend to Sam Jordan?
Our reader exotiC found Sam Jordan's (WarpUP, Warp3D) home page. There he gives some views to his new life as well as something about his Amiga history.

In autumn 2001 Sam Jordan bought a Mac. The current Amiga situation he describes as follows: "I didn't follow the development of the Amiga since the century change, but some brief research let me conclude that the Amiga market is not existing any more and activities went down to a minimum."

Cloanto: Personal Paint 7.1 for AmigaOS 4.0
Seattle, WA - January 6, 2004 - Amiga Inc. and Cloanto are delighted to announce that Personal Paint 7.1 will be available on the upcoming AmigaOS 4.0 operating system.

The Personal Paint series of 2D graphics and animations applications has been a mainstay of the application base for the Amiga platform ever since its introduction in 1992 and it is also a star attraction of the Cloanto Amiga Forever package. As Cloanto considers a new version of the product for AmigaOS 4.0, it has decided to show its commitment to the Amiga platform and community by making the source code of the current version available to Amiga Inc., allowing them to create a PowerPC native version for the upcoming AmigaOS 4.0 product. The created binaries will be owned by Cloanto but will be made available for free download from the Amiga and Cloanto web sites.

Cloanto and Amiga are also in talks concerning a new version of Amiga Forever, as well as a special version of Amiga Forever for AmigaOS 4.0, which aims to provide chipset-level Classic Amiga compatibility integrated with the new generation Amiga operating system and hardware.
