H&P: StormC programmer needed
For the porting of the loganalyzers Sawmill we are looking for an
Amiga programmer, who is used to StormC and/or GCC. It
concerns thereby not the adjustment of sources, but rather the
adjustment of libraries, so that the source can be compiled on the Amiga. The payment is to be made in form of a participation in
turnover at the sales of the Amiga version. If you are interested please contact Markus
Nerding.

Terra Soft: Teron-PPC-Board not longer available in the Online-Store
Terra Soft ATX PowerPC Systems
Terra Soft Current and Pending Customers,
"Many of you have enthusiastically and patiently awaited the delivery of MAI Logic's Teron motherboards on which Terra Soft's Boxer ATX systems will be built. We have removed the Teron-based systems from our online Store until further notice in order to reduce further confusion and false expectations. We promise to bring this product to market as soon as possible." -- Terra Soft Team
Background could be a diversity of opinion between Terra Soft and Mai
Logic. According to rumors, which Mike Bouma in the Amiga World forum
drew "from reliable sources", Terra Soft demands 20 US dollar per
produced and sold Main board, including the AmigaOne boards, since
these boards can implement Yellow Dog Linux. These rumors were so far
not confirmed officially.

Voltmeter software completed
I herewith announce that the software for my voltmeter hardware has been
completed. This should be able to run on all A1200s and A4000s. However, it
would have to be adapted for A500 and A600. This is because the software uses
the 32bit width of the address data.

Amiga Inc.: Amiga Absence at CeBIT 2003 in Hannover
Amiga Absence at CeBIT
Mar 6, 2003 - Late last year, Amiga announced its intention to launch
AmigaOS4.0 at the CeBIT show
in Germany. Since then, the project has
advanced into its final stages but unfortunately not to the point where
we are ready to ship. We have thus decided not to attend the Cebit
Germany show. Instead we are looking at other shows and opportunities
in the near future to provide a suitable platform for the launch of
the new Amiga.

Warning: Nethands.de Warned About Missing Banner
As already
reported many times,
many homepage makers (it doesn't matter if they are private or commercial) are not aware that the new telecommunications service law (TDG) and/or the intermediate services state regulations (MDStV) include a provision requiring a banner. There are constantly resourceful (or better put, flighty) lawyers who want to earn their bread with warnings.
Flighty therefore, because it could be possible throughout to draw attention to a possible violation through email, and to offer to help out. If this remains unsuccessful first of all, our opinion about a warning is justified. The law is conclusively implemented to protect the surfer, and not to to enrich lawyers through warnings as well.
Read under the title link about how Nethands.de handles the warning, and help them if you have the opportunity.
