Magazine: Retro Computing Today
Retro Computing Today - What is the big idea?

There seems to be a growing interest in computers and technology of yesteryear. With very few publications actually acknowledging this, it is left to a handful of small magazines to fill the gap, with profitable publications such as Computer and Video Games dedicating less than 4 pages to "The Old School". Retro Computing Today aims to be the one of the first professional publication to cover all topics regarding this very subject matter, instead of concentrating on one particular computer or platform, as Commodore Scene does, Retro Computing Today aims to cover as many topics as there are interests for. For instance, those people who choose to use a Vic 20 to view web sites through to the Amiga classic/AmigaOne platform.

Obviously, the more support a particular platform receives, the more of the magazine will be dedicated to covering it, however, we would hope to provide some sort of balance, unlike at least 90% of current publications, whom tend to concentrate on the Windows/XBox platform.

Do you have big ideas yourself?

Details are sketchy at the minute, as the publication is still in early planning stages. We can confirm the following:

  • Launch issue for early May 2002.
  • 8 copies a year (1 every 6 weeks). If there is enough demand, we will move towards 10 copies a year (1 every 5 weeks).
  • Website launched soon.
  • A sample issue will be available to download.
  • Special edition no. 1 will be available to pre-order soon.


So, if you would like to shape this publication, please email me with your suggestions or comments.

If you would like to write any articles for the launch issue, please forward them in .txt format, with the subject matter as Submissions 092246. We would appreciate greatly any help we can get.

Thank you for reading,

Shaun/Retro Computing Today - retrocomtoday@aol.com. (ps)

So, the magazine is offline now. If the "Starmag" would be revived some day depends on the Amiga market getting well or not. But at the moment this is not to be assumed :-( (sd) (Translation: mj)

Amiga-Emulator: Amithlon explained by Bernie Meyer
In August 2001 Bernd Meyer has visited the Amiga User Group in Australia and performed the third official presentation of the Amiga emulator "Amithlon" there (the first one was done in St. Louis (Bill McEwen), the second one with MAUG). He described the basics of the linux mini kernel and how AmigaOS was put on top.

Tony Mulvihill of the "Amiga User Group of Melbourne" has recorded this presentation with his video8 camera. Craig Hutchinson then has digitized the video and splitted it into 18 MPEG files, which are available from Aminet under /pix/mpg/Amithlon#?.mpg. (sd) (Translation: mj)

PCTip: new Amiga computers - a myth on the way to its comeback?
Christian Bütikofer wrote in his (German) article extensively about the Amiga scene. »They still exist, the Amiga users. And soon they could start to become some more again. If all goes as planned, the Amiga, next to Atari THE cult home computer of the 80's and 90's, will celebrate a resurrection in the new year!«
