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.

The Dutch "Commodore Gebruikersgroep" has presented photos (1, 2, 3) on their website of a convention last 21st February, as well as a newspaper report about it.
Beyond that, they have a vacation challenge: whoever wants to participate should take a photo of himself or herself in an Amiga or Commodore shirt in a vacation setting. The location should be recognizable and the shirt logo readable in the photo.
The next two CGG shows will have a specific theme. On the 17th of April there will be an Amiga Party in which the Dutch computer merchant Computer City will be onhand with all kinds of Amiga accessories. Also for instance the operating system MorphOS will be shown as well as some Pegasos computers.
Then on the 19th of June 2004 CGG is organizing a Retro-Show for Games and Computers, in which the majority of the types of the games and computers sold in Holland will be shown.

AmiATLAS Demo at Computer & Video Market on March 6th & 7th in Bremen
The Users of the North Sea Coast (UdN) are showing an exclusive demo of the new update of AmiATLAS this weekend 6th & 7th March at the Computer and Video Market in Bremen, with special attention to the updated Germany map. This demonstration has been thoughtfully arranged by Ralf Tönjes.
Update: (16:10, 04.03.04, snx)
Walter Kemmling notified us on ANF that Manfred Rohde of the AmiATLAS development team has put screenshots and information about the upcoming Germany update-map on his website. Judging from them the AutoBahn [German highway system -dm] diagram in the AmiATLAS update will be the most current in the route-planning market. The distribution of the update to all registered customers should begin in the weeks following the demonstration.

Spiegel Online: Troll you, Trolls!
In an online offer of the news magazine Spiegel, Frank Patalong authored a comment about the theme "Behavior on the Internet" that was very interesting for a few users: "the Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns Prime Minister Harald Ringstorff didn't want to let it pass: an email writer called him an "arrogant, ignorant hysteric."" Ringstorff complained about the insult. Hopefully a school didn't do that - neither the one nor the other. Read the complete article at Spiegel Online under the title link.
