clickBOOM insane? clickBOOM makes a weird offer: Those who mark themselves as complete clickBOOM and Amiga fan, having a tattoo with the words "clickBOOM" or "Amiga" or a logo made, get all clickBOOM games for free. Contact with clickBOOM should be made before getting the tattoo done. I can only hope this is a joke, because such offers are very questionable in my eyes. (ps) (Translation: mb) [News message: 18.

18.Jan.2000 3SAT - Neues |
3SAT Computermagazin Neues mentions Amiga The computer magazine "NEUES" by 3SAT (German TV channel), known for really good investigations and matter-of-fact reports is becoming more and more liked by Amiga users, because, for a positive change, "NEUES" does not ignore the Amiga in their reports. On January 17th, there was a report about the sellout and the cooperation with the TAO Group. Citing: "There are news to rell about Amiga, too. After Gateway sold its Amiga share in December, the company has entered a strategic partnership with the british TAO Group. They want to develop a new Amiga Operating System together. Currently Tao offers four operating systems, with the realtime OS Elate being especially interesting. Elate is platform independant, no matter if Windows or Linux, and offers multi processor support. One can be looking forward to how Amiga might profit from this cooperation." (Translation: mb) [News message: 18.

Tao dont have that much a roll in the development but they do have some say and are very intrested to hear the views of the Amiga public to help them take the correct road. Francis Charig, Chairman and Chief Exec of Tao Group has confirmed this with me and seems like a really down to earth guy and very sincere in what he wants to do with the Amiga, he said he will ask Fleecy to attend as well. So got some ideas? questions? or just want to sit and watch? then come to #AmigaGames on IRC Dalnet. I will be confirming the live chat with Francis a hour before we go ahead to make sure things are ok, if we have to postpone it, there will be a new date given in the topic. If you have a JAVA client you can come directly to http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Way/9376/irc/chat.html If you are on a Amiga you will need to download Amirc from Aminet and log onto a dalnet server. amiirc.lha The best server to use is irc.dal.net on port: 7000 group: 01 If you are on a PC you can get Mirc from http://www.mirc.com The Live Chat will be on 19/01/00 at 16.00 GMT The Chat will be moderated you need to msg a active op to be able to ask a question No more than 2 questions per go Usuall IRC rules apply, swearing, name calling, flooding will end in a ban. Hope to see you all there Best Regards John Porter Amiga Oasis Online http://bounce.to/amigaoasis #AmigaGames IRC Dalnet(Translation: mb) [News message: 18.

Meeting with Bill McEwen in Frankfurt Bill McEwen, President and CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of Amiga Incorporated, explained his vision for the future of the Amiga on January 17th. At the first meeting after the Amiga takeover by Bill McEwen and Fleecy Moss, mainly hard- and software developers were present as well as representatives of the two remaining German Amiga print magazines and of course myself for amiga-news.de. The meeting was intended for getting to know each other. Bill McEwen is not a no-name, but so far he was rather behind the scenes at Amiga Inc. However, he brought some goodies with him to Frankfurt. He explained the partnership with Tao, and that their OS will be part of the new Amiga generation. He assured that not only a developer box specification will be released in February, but also that the necessary software will be offered for free download at the same time. For the late summer, the introduction of the first consumer system is scheduled. The exact specification of this model is not yet decided upon, and depends on the results of his numerous talks with developers during his trip to Europe. All in all, a beginning for the next - and hopefully successful - attempt to revive the Amiga. At any case, Bill McEwen earned broad support on the Frankfurt meeting.

CSC contest over After 62 days and 98% keys done, the CSC key has been cracked. The correct key was found by a Sparcbox (with Solaris) in the USA. The Amiga team has done 4 million key blocks with 228 keys each, for a total of 1.11% of the keyspace. Now all Amiga users who participated in the CSC contest should return to calculate RC5 blocks. Every block counts... ;-) (Translation: mb) [News message: 17. Jan. 2000, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] | ||

MeKa pictures Hosted by the Fachhochschule Karlsruhe (Technical College), the yearly "Meeting Karlsruhe" took place last weekend, for the seventh time and with about 150 participants. I was overwhelmed by the really phantastic organisation of this huge meeting. There were 5 rooms with 30-35 computers each completely networked. The Fachhochschule provided a free 10 MBit connection in addition to their rooms, which led to great download rates. Thanks to the ATM systems from HiLan, there even where 155 MBit available locally. The hosts really had planned for everything. There was a seperate sleeping room where exhausted visitors could take a nap. A cinema was available for relaxing, and all the time fresh breadrolls, coffee, tea and other non-alcoholic beverages were offered; a really well working Internet Pizza service made the offer complete. I had many interesting conversations, met many, many really nice people, and left with the wish to return for all three days next year. I really enjoyed myself, but I did regret not having brought my computer. I want to say thanks for the invitation, and congratulate the hosts on their excellent work.

HTMLview.mcc v12.6 released Allan Odgaard has released version 12.6 of his MUI class for viewing HTML documents on January 16th. The class currently supports the major part of the HTML 4.0 standard as defined by the W3C. According to Allan Odgaard, the class is more precise than many browsers, and very well suited e.g. for e-mail programs wanting to display HTML - especially since the class is working really fast. You shouldn't forget, however, that it is a prototype undergoing many changes. E.g. it is being worked upon Style Sheets support. The release of a Style Sheet supporting version will take some time, however. With the included demo program, the class can be used as "offline browser". Without written permission of the author, however, it must not be used on CD-ROMs etc. The class offers the following features:
Known bugs:

3 Amiga advertisments from 1989 On his homepage, Jim offers three Amiga commercials from 1989 for download. The three ads, described as very well made, are tailored to the US market, and have been broadcasted on MTV in 1989. However, so far the commercials are only available in RealVideo (.rm) format; a format without an Amiga player being available so far. Additionally, single pictures and the sound in .wav format are available, and Jim is interested in offering the animations in a different format. He is looking for tips which format is best suited for the Amiga. 19.01.2000: Jims e-mail address seems to be non-functional. On the website, this one is listed: hangfire@avalon.net. The commercials are now available as Quicktime movies (about 1 MB per movie). (Translation: mb) [News message: 16.
