`02.Jan.2001` AmiBench	AmiBench News Mark 'tecno' Wilson, the maintainer of AmiBench, the website for international free small ads, reports in his year summary about the adverse conditions capable to make a webmaster's life really hard, sometimes. AmiBench was hunted by bad luck last year: scripts which weren't finished; the service provider got hacked; the server played yoyo; the web account was closed by mistake; no feedback from the readers; .... I can comprehend well that such conditions are very annoying and motivation goes to zero sometimes. Give Mark positive feedback to give his motivation a boost. :) [News message: 02.

`01.Jan.2001` Elbox via eMail	Elbox Wish Happy New Year Elbox sent in new year greetings which should not be taken too seriously according to what they stated. The Not-So-Serious Inside Story Announcement Crack-off, 31 December 2000 The pi-pi-Castro Task Force is proud to promote the latest technique of advertising. The pi-pi Castro Task Force hereby authorise everybody to read the secrets of their latest technology of collecting money in advertising and to disclose this secret to enyone on the way: We, the world-famous pi-pi Castro Task Force, produced the world-famous graphic system for the world-dominant computer platform of the Ah-miga. Sure, we did some work. Nobody paid us for that :-( Then we saw some people get big in the Ah-miga world. We thought: "Why don't take money from them?" We noticed Err-box produced their hardware (el mediatore). Err-box produced their software (the pi-pi driver). We did not help them (why should we?) So we thought we could ask Err-box for money for using our world-famous name of pi-pi 96 Therefore we are world famous. Proved. Err-box did not want to pay us. We asked other friends to persuade Err-box. Franco Mariacchi managed to get computers and Special-Delusion-Kit documents from Err-box - FOR FREE!!! Success!!! Hi-period managed to get some hardware from Err-box plus the same paperwork. FOR FREE!!! Success!!! We did not manage to get a single pfenig from Err-box. And we need paper too. Franco Mariacchi and Hi-period are laughing at us. Therefore we are suckers. And our friends are laughing at us. Proved. Aha. A painting family wants us to pay DM 6,000 for using the "Pi-pi-Castro" name. Therefore we wanted Err-box to pay it for us. As Err-box are discussing the issue behind the curtain, and we need cash badly, we demand Ah-miga users to register our pi-pi system immediately and pay us for their being happy. If nobody pays us, we will cry out that any other soap-ware worldwide is ill-egg-all. (Apart from our pi-pi-castro, sure enough.) Proved. Err-box Komm-puter was happy to find the appropriate name for this new method of advertising: the REVERSE ADVERTISING. Danke mucho, err-boxie. Please remember that you have to pay us DEM 5.00 or USD 10.00 every time you use the word "advertising". The Pi-Pi-Castro Task Force Courtesy of Err-box Komm-puter De-pression De-partition-ment ================ There is a popular custom in Poland to make jokes on colleagues and fellow people in the end of the year, to summarise the most prevalent features of their behaviour during the year. Here is our summary of what has transpired between the P96 team and ELBOX Computer during that time. Please take it with a bit of reserve, as we do not intend to offend anyone, just to introduce a pinch of humour into the issue, which seemed to be so tense and serious in the Amiga world. Happy New Year!!! [News message: 01. Jan. 2001, 21:32] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`31.Dec.2000` Fun Time World	Payback Status Report #17 On 30. December 2000 James Daniels has released the status report #17 regarding the game 'Payback'. The game now offers additionally a multiplayer deathmatch mode for up to 4 players. To do this much had to be changed in the source code and therefor much work had to be put into this mode as the game wasn't design for supporting a multiplayer mode first. But the work was, according to James Daniels, worth it. Screens of the multiplayer mode are released on the screenshots page. The latest photos there also contain the improved textures. Besides that the game now supports also the CD32 controller, and several bugs have been fixed. [News message: 31. Dec. 2000, 17:16] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`31.Dec.2000` Hans-Joerg Frieden in the Forum	Warp3D and PCI Graphics Boards Recently Hans-Jörg Frieden has expressed himself in our forum regarding the topic driver software for PCI graphics boards under Warp3D: «Unfortunately the number of e-mails regarding Warp3D and PCI cards accumulates for Thomas and me. Almost every time it is "I have purchased a card of the brand XXX, when will you have 3D drivers ready?"... Regarding this I want to say the following: Warp3D is and will continue to be a hobby project that is cooking on smaller flame as for now, because of the time consumption of Hyperion. If possible we'll write drivers. Nevertheless I will explicitly point out, that the buying of a graphics card is no cogent reason for us to produce a driver for it - as that takes quite some time. There will probably be no driver for Voodoo 5 (V4 is questionable but more likely), none for GeForce, Riva TNT, ATI Rage or whatever else, especially when there exists no chip documentation. Neither we will attempt to recycle a Linux driver. In the case that somebody could get some chip documentation (legal!) and make it available for us the chances for a driver increase but this is no guarantee either.» Via email Hans-Joerg adds that this is no kind of arbitrariness but only a hint that people shouldn't waste their money for graphics cards that can't be supported simply because of the lack of time or documentation... We are getting mails all the time from people asking for GeForce support or Voodoo 5 but for those documentation isn't accessible. We have tried it even at NVidia, without success, even not against NDA... :-( [News message: 31. Dec. 2000, 01:26] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
