Electronic Arts are defending themselves against the danger arising from categorization of their current game "Command & Conquer: Generals." On the 25th of February the National Inspection Bureau For Youth-Endangering Publications (BPjS) categorized this game in an express decision. The result of this is that "Command & Conquer Generals" may not be advertised nor openly sold after the 28th of February.«

Convention: Computer & Video Swap Meet Bremen - March 1st & 2nd, 2003
On the first and second of March 2003 the Computer and Video Swap Meet will take place in Bürgerzentrum Neue Vahr. On both days the hours of this convention are from 9 am until 5 pm. The gathering is a sales convention for end users; there will be hardware and software from many categories offered. The
Users of the North Sea Coast have two rooms this time. The Atari Computer Club of Bremen organizes the schedule with individual activities.
On the first level:
- Video-processing with the Amiga. DVD on the Amiga, Digital cameras on the Amiga, direct comparison between PPC and 060 (Earth 2140
and other games). The following software will be demonstrated: MediaPoint,
SCALA-MM-400, Digital-Almanac, AmiAtlas-6 and eventually iFusion and naturally TV on Amiga (PixelView in comparison to Picasso IV). Additionally a highly upgraded Amiga 4000D in an Elbox tower with PPC, USB and
PCI (TV, ethernet, sound und graphic cards) will be shown. The innards of this computer are visible through plexiglass casing under blue illumination, and it is just one of several Amigas to be seen
- Video-processing with Amiga, PC and Mac; here's where the newest programs line up to go for it. Old films may be digitally processed and placed on DVD through the use of internal or external expansions, and all this without using a PC or Mac.
- Linux KNOPPIX 3.1 (the CD is from the Federal Bureau for Security and Information Technology) will be demonstrated in an hard-drive installation.
On the second level:
- The Mac display area will be found here, and the following computers shown:
Pictures and Info.
- Many diverse hardware technologies of storage media clear through to viewable opened components will be shown. These systems will mostly be shown running, with explanations and demonstrations of the equipment. They'll be actively shown with the operating systems and software performing functions.
- During this time visitors themselves may do hands-on utilization of the equipment and/or play games.
- Additional some advertising spots from the 70s and 80s will be played.
The company Falkemedia will have free newspapers for Amiga and Mac available. A big thanks to A. Goukassian of Kiel.
Both days we're going to be running a webcam, reachable at the following URLs:
http://www.udnimweb.de/Webcam.html.
Addendum by Otto Dette by email:
We received news from Falcon that we'll be first receiving a preview CD of the video from the Aachen convention, in order to show it.

Emulator: Status Quo of UAE for Mac OS X
Both the port of the Unix Amiga Emulator for Mac OS X by Marin Saric and the development of Max UAE by Alex Kasic have been on ice for
several weeks. AMIGAplus editor Wolfgang Böhl reports on the status of UAE for Mac OS X:
The current Mac-modified source code version 0.8.22 beta 1 of Max UAE emulator was placed online at the beginning of January. This means
that compilation attempts and continued development by third parties are theoretically possible.
From the assortment of alternatives Wolfgang Böhl took a look at the UNIX sources, compiled them for the Mac OS X kernel, and tried to get
them running with Apple's X11 offering. And look: it works! After the first problems with a high crash tendency the emulator port is fairly
stable. Nevertheless there are problems with mouse emulation and poor performance. Accordingly, a graphical configuration menu is being
prepared right now.
With wideranging programmer experience nothing should stand in the way of a successful port of UAE to Mac OS X. On that
basis we applaud the contributing coders!

Genesi: More Details about STBs, Pegasos I, and OS4
In two public comments on ANN
Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco made known some more details on, among other things, their STB (set-top box) activities and AmigaOS 4 for the Pegasos.
The previously announced first major contract for DTV/STB has an initial quota of 150,000 units (with the previously mentioned option of over one million units).
Beyond that, in the meantime, there has been a further DTV-STB project, which, it is stated, will insure the company's financial stability. This is to allow them to solidify their contractual obligations with business partners, developers and associates, building a stable foundation for the future.
The Debian team alone encompasses 20 developers, Genesi reports.
Of about 400-450 new Pegasos 1s there are supposedly only around 85 remaining.
Additionally it was once again pointed out that a broad web-based sales and support strategy will be built up. To this end better documentation and more online resources are needed, and a full palette of applications must be programmed or ported. This will require time and talent. And so more people are currently being sought for this mission. Interested parties should make themselves known to bbrv@genesi.lu.
With respect to AmigaOS: BBRV finds it a foregone conclusion that when OS4 is ready, it will find its way to the Pegasos. Not that Genesi will do this nor that it will require Genesi's support, only that somebody is going to do it. In relation to this BBRV intended to contact Ben Hermans (Hyperion) today. It is seen as a likelihood that in the end Hyperion will posess the IP rights to the classic AmigaOS, and then surely they will want to sell OS4 to every user with a PPC computer, and so BBRV is convinced that the Pegasos family of products will be there as the largest target market.

individual Computers is the first sponsor of the Breakpoint Party
Since many years, individual Computers supports so-called scene-parties
that offer a forum for demo-programmers. A "demo" is a program that does
not require interaction with the user, as opposed to game demos. It's a
combination of graphics, music and special effects - a presentation of
the hardware capabilities, the programmer's and the artist's skills
(graphics and music).
