Press Rlease
Amigan-St. Louis
Bill McEwen - "Live Interactive Video Conference" on March 1


February 4, 2000


Fellow Amigans,

We are happy to assist the Gateway Amiga Club, Inc. in bringing
you Mr. Bill McEwen in...

        "Live" from the Gateway Amgia Club"

GAC's meeting will be Wednesday March 1, at the Ladue Horton Watkins
High School Videio Lab. It is located at 1201 South Warson Rd, in
Ladue, MO. The meeting starts at 7:30 PM, with the conference
starting at 8 PM CST.

Mr McEwen will discuss the "OS for the 21st Century" and
demonstrate some "new stuff". This is a meeting you won't want
to miss.

The interactive nature of this conference, will allow the speaker to
view his audience as they view him. Viewers can even ask questions
when their site is selected for viewing.

Amiga Clubs interested in viewing this live interactive video
conference" should go to GAC's web page at:

        http://www.icon-stl.net/~amiga

and click on the "Amiga News" link. There you will find the
details of how to apply for the conferences link.

We suggest that clubs attempt to find video conferencing
equipment at their local high schools, colleges, or businesses
to keep their costs down. It is possible to rent Kinko equipment,
but costs can be higher than most clubs can afford.

Due to the video sites needing possible on-site approval, we will
need to have your request no later than February 14. Please
remember to fill out the form on the GAC website.

See you on the Big Screen,

Bob Scharp

RC - RUNCOACH, the runner trainer for Amiga
Finally, there is an Amiga training program for runners available. It calculates detailed training suggestions to prepare for contests. After entering personal data, like weight, pulse etc., a training plan with differing demand until contest day is calculated.

The program is a C port of the well-known Runcoach by Paul Shields. He was so kind to supply me with the Prolog source code. After some effort, I was able to get Eric Engdahl to make the Amiga port. I would like comments and expansion requests, so RC will get many users. The program can be found on Aminet.

VillageTronic answers :-)
On February 3rd, the German main page of amiga-news.de reported that, with a change in layout on the VT website, visitors get the impression that the Amiga area is now only secondary for VT. Yesterday, Village Tronic spoke out about the ParaGlide project. Since no excellent hard- and software engineer could be found in 1999, and ParaGlide was not on top of the priority list, VT concentrated on other projects. ParaGlide has not been cancelled, however, since the developers from the Amiga section would not have it.

Village Tronic is now looking for a ParaGlide fan who is an experienced PCB layouter, using the Protel Layout System. Candidates please contact amigasupport@village.de. (Translation: mb)

Eternity expecting visitor number 20,000
The Eternity pages enjoy growing popularity, as we could see from our growing visitor numbers. So there is stuff for free again for visitor number 20,000: If you can prove (screenshot and time) that you were visitor 20,000 of the Eternity page, you can choose:
  • a highspeed IDE controller or
  • a game from our current offers

With the "proofshot" and the above data, you should contact the webmaster (patrick@synotec-webdesign.com). If there is more than one, the time of the visit decides. :-) (Translation: mb)

amiga-news.de now with Amiga Link Directory (ALD)
amiga-news.de opened the new Amiga Link Directory (ALD) for the public on 23.1.2000. The new directory`s aim is to become THE directory for AMIGA-pages. Innovative, a software-company based in Herzogenaurach/Germany developed the required technology for this exciting enterprise.

Entries are sorted by categories and letters or can be found easily via the available search-function. In order to guarantee an always up-to-date database, entries can be changed by the "owners" of the entry at any time via a previously defined password. For every entry, if provided by the "owner", further information is available. This can include, but is not limited to the postal adress as well as the phone-number, email-adress and homepage.

The ALD will also partially be available via the popular Aminet-CDs (means: only entries of "owners" who want their entries to be part of a "directory" on the Aminet-CD). For the first time there will be a bridge between the AMIGA-online and -offline-world - and it will be called ALD. This way communication within the AMIGA-community will improve and companies can also reach users, that don`t have an internet-connection yet.

Help us building the greatest online-directory for AMIGA-websites worldwide and add your website today.

The ALD can be found at: www.amiga-news.de/cgi-bin/anwd-db.pl (Translation: mb)

Amiga-PacketRadio - user search

Storm MP3 Digital Audio Decoder
Storm MP3/e is a device plugged into the parallel port, capable of MP3 playback even on an accelerated A500, 286 or Archimedes (?). The device is powered by a 9V battery, powering up and down together with the host computer. Expansion options include an IR port, memory expansion (probably for internal MP3 use only) and radio reciever. (Translation: mb)

AppleInsider: Outlook for Faster G4 Systems Appear Gloomy
Obviously, difficulties with the G4 CPU layout resulted in a very poor yield in G4 CPUs with more than 450 MHz (one or two per wafer). The situation will probably not change until late fall, when new CPU versions (of the G4, not the successor G5!) will be released. Until then, the G3 is the only PowerPC exceeding 500 MHz clock speed.

Executive Update by Bill McEwen
Amiga's Bill McEwen has posted an Executive Update:

"Greetings to one and all:

A great deal has occurred over the last couple of weeks, and it is only going to get more interesting as we move forward. It has been some time since I spoke with you, and I wanted to share some of the fun.

In the last two weeks we have announced our new foundation partner, started technical training with our new development team, and had many meetings with future technology partners

The responses have been overwhelmingly positive and, to quote an old song "they ain't seen nothing yet".

On January 8, 2000 at CES in Las Vegas we announced our partnership with the Tao-Group as our foundation OS partner. This is not just a technical but a strategic relationship and brings with it great rewards. I have asked Fleecy to write a short document highlighting the Amiga/Tao relationship from a more technical perspective, to save you from having to put up with my telling everyone how incredibly great and fantastic it is. We want you to make your own minds up.

In the next two weeks we will make another strategic partnership announcement with regards to the new path for Amiga. As with all our announcements, look at it against the whole picture and not in isolation.

After a week long trip to Germany and the UK I have come back with a much better understanding of what we can and cannot do. As mentioned before we are not going to make promises or product announcements. We will announce to you, the community, only after the deal is signed or the product is sitting before us. This won't put a stop to rumours, but it will make them all the more obvious. Change brings uncertainty, and in an information vacuum, mischief makers like to take the spotlight. If it isn't officially sanctioned by Amiga, don't believe it.

Our job as a company is to create exciting market opportunities for Amiga developers to take advantage of, and to give Amiga users a platform they can enjoy. This requires more than just an upgrade to the existing OS. This requires, indeed demands a complete strategy reaching into all areas of the present and the future. The time has come for all of us to move forwards, owner, developer, and user.

Many of you have sent us business proposals, and product marketing ideas, and for this we thank you, and ask for your patience as we look over them. Some are providing us with valuable insight into the desires of the Amiga community as a whole, others are providing us with a good chuckle. This is the Amiga advantage that other platforms just do not share.

Over the next few months there may be some companies that come out with their own plans, or state that we do not have the community at heart as we move forwards. The reality is, they do not know what we have planned. In order to stay focused and to keep up our incredible pace, we are not sharing our plans outside of our signed partnerships.

We have to prioritise and act singlemindedly if we are to reach our first plateau in our given timescales. Once there we will be able to pause for breath. Some are not happy about this, but they do not know the full plan. Our mission is not just about restoring the Amiga, but about pushing it forwards as THE technology for tomorrow.

This means that if you hear something annoying, or frustrating, or downright nasty, and the source is not Amiga Inc, then disregard it.

Plain and simple.

If you did not hear it from us, or read it here on this web site it is not true.

We are not asking for your trust or your undying belief. We only ask that you take us on OUR words and deeds, not on the misinterpretations of others.

We will soon be starting official meetings in Europe, the UK, and the US for developers and dealers. This will include introductory training seminars for the new OS, and introductions to the retail pricing and schedules. We will also begin the process of introducing the new web site, and putting the Amiga Advisory Council to work.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your hospitality during our meetings and for your continued support as we move forwards. We have had the chance to meet with many end users, developers, dealers, and new partners, and look forwards to meeting even more of you as time goes on.

There is a great deal of activity, with a lot of first footsteps on some truly amazing paths. New partners excited, old faces returning, familiar faces reminding us of our heritage. Indeed we are already having to move into bigger facilities, such is our rate of growth.

I know it can be frustrating but after years wandering lost in a dark place, the sun is finally starting to crack a smile on the horizon. Together, we will march into tomorrow.

Keeping the faith,

Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga Team." (Translation: mb)
