In relation to the convention AmiGBG in Sweden on the 3rd of April, there's a cooperation between the convention's organizers and the newest Swedish Amiga merchant Guru Meditation to give away a complete AmigaOne XE system.
To do this they've established a Retro-Room, in which a look back may be taken at old acquaintances like Amiga 1000, CDTV, SuperCars, or Flip the Frog. The visitors may also test themselves at the game Rocketz - the winner gets an Amiga1200 Magic Pack.
You'll find more information at the AmiGBG website here.

mDVD: MorphOS GUI for DVD Playing with MPlayer
J.-P. Jokela has prepared mDVD (9.3 MB), a GUI (graphic user-interface) for playing DVDs with mPlayer under MorphOS. Besides mPlayer you must also have RxMUI installed.
MDVD is a simple selection program for DVD titles, subtitles, and soundtracks, with a few options such as framedrop or full-screen. It does not include search functions or DVD menu support.
The author requests feedback as to desired features, and points out that that one should read the manual before trying out the configuration of the GUI, and set the path for mPlayer as well as the orientation of subtitles and soundtracks.

Project: "Become a programmer's sponsor"
Since a couple of days at amigaworld.net
an idea is being discussed to improve attraction to program for AmigaOS4 by starting a financial sponsorship.
The original idea has been to provide free AmigaOne systems but actually all possibilities of sponsoring are discussed.
Because the idea seems to be attractive to many readers (the initiator said there are considerable funds already) a mailing list
has been started which will cover all further discussion.

Review: DVD Burning on Amiga w. LiteOn 8x DVD-RW
The South Wales Amiga User Group (SWAUG) has a DVD burner LiteOn LDW-811S DVD+/-RW on Amiga with software DVDRecord test.
Among their other product reviews
SWAUG rates the product at 89%. Worth noting is that the software in question only supports the Minus format for DVDs. However the LiteOn burner can be inserted otherwise easily at the Amiga and is cooperative in its CDRW functioning, for example it also should work with MakeCD.

AmigaWares: Amiga Apparel by Randomize at Computer City
On account of inquiries about "AmigaWares" the Canadian firm Randomize has notified the Dutch dealer Computer City that they may import Randomize's Amiga apparel for European fans.
In spite of the import fees and the Dutch value-added tax, and owing to the current exchange rate of the dollar, these goods may be offered for about the same price Randomize designated in U.S. dollars - the euro amount may be found by multiplying the dollar price times 1.1.
You'll find an overview in the Fanware section at the new webshop of Computer City. Please mind that this shop is still under construction and the orders and resulting delivery and handling costs must be manually calculated.
