Call by Call in Ortsnetz: Information Offering at teltarif.de
On this coming Friday, the 25th of April, the last monopoly in the German telephone market fell: the Ortsnetz. The consumer was not much
able to benefit from the popular Call-by-Call option. With the Call-by-Call option, the caller selects a number sequence, generally 5 characters,
and so directs the call over an alternative provider, instead of Deutsche Telekom.
It's already observable that the consumers will benefit from significant savings, from Friday on. "A short 30 second call to the barber or taxi
company costs just one cent using the sequence 01078 over the provider 3U, instead of the six cents charged by Deutsche Telekom up until
now" per Martin Müller, business leader of the fee-comparing www.teltarif.de. 3U offers local calls in about 1500 local networks, and accounts
for the one second pulse.
Arcor kicks off in about 36 hours, beginning with an offer for local and quasi-local calls. The prices are thereby over those of 3U, but are also
good for conversations to destinations maximally 20 kilometers from the originating point. These conversations are designated quasi-local.
Market experts are still expecting the offers of Tele2 and 01051 Telecom by Friday. Other enterprises have announced they will start in May.

The Kickstart Archives Version 2.1
Thomas Unger writes:
The two CD set is now at version 2.1. THE KICKSTART ARCHIVES is entirely HTML-based and thereby viewable on every hardware and
operating system. Many headings have been updated. The publicity and support areas have implemented thorough expansions since
version 2.0.2. Design and Navigation have been refined. On the start page of the Internet presence there are, near the tutorials, also the
icon notes, in which legal matters, notes of appreciation, as well as reviews and ordering possibilities are readable in the German and
English languages.

"The German Bill Gates": "unrowed "Kimbeln"
The stock boom is over, and the ruins are swept together. Much money of investors has been burned, but facts were really rare.
The results are between creating new conzerns and distribution (AOL-Time-Warner, Amazon, ebay) and total bankruptery with some
criminal numbers (Lets-Buy-it.com or Kim (Kimble) Schmitz). Under the title link you can read an article about Lars Windhorst, who was named

Bluetooth-Adapter on Amiga (RS232)
On a Bluetooth-enabled PC, Amiga Explorer also works with a Bluetooth serial adapter attached to the Amiga serial port. The PC side must support the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile, which makes it possible to select the Amiga side as a standard COM port in Amiga Explorer. Depending on the adapter, no configuration may be required (the adapter attached to the Amiga serial port automatically runs as a "slave"), or, in some cases, the adapter must first be connected to the PC serial port and configured via the included software. Some adapters have a built-in Web server which allows for remote configuration.

Weekly Q&A's with Fleecy Moss - episode 6
The English online magazine AmigaWorld has published episode 6 of the regular questions and answers session with Fleecy Moss, CTO at AMIGA, Inc. (Update 2012-03-17, cg: as the original document is no longer available, the following content was moved into our database):
1) realize: How do you intend to get people to develop native OS4 apps? ( This is what will make you sink or swim)
Fleecy: By offering direct support to them, a variety of incentives and most importantly, a succesful new platform that both allows them to do what they can't do on other platforms and which allows them to make money and enjoy themselves.
2) Desmon: Why hasn't Amiga.inc stepped into the Amithlon/Umilator argument and taken on the distribution themselves?
Fleecy: It is a very complicated situation in which multiple parties have taken positions that have made it difficult for any solution that is acceptable to all to develop. We are as interested in seeing a resolution as everyone else but a lot needs to happen to achieve this.
3) Dave_P: Why do you still bother? I am serious. With all the mud that is thrown day in day out, the small Amiga userbase, the innuendo and flack. Why exactly do you bother to get out of bed and not take an IT job in the mainstream industry but continue persist with the Amiga against such odds?
Fleecy: We have a firm view of the future that many people find exciting and, despite the volume of noise, most of it is from a relatively small group of people who have a varied set of reasons for making that noise. That is not to say we don't deserve it - we are the first to admit that mistakes have been made but there have also been other circumstances that have made our progress difficult. Luckily, the majority of Amigans have stayed Amigans because they are committed to having the best digital platform on the market and, as with us, we are in it for that target, not for the sight seeing on the way.
4) ssolie: Amiga Inc. has been accused of spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) do to its past announcements and delays in shipping product. Does Amiga Inc. have a policy regarding FUD and if so, what is that policy?
Fleecy: We have made mistakes in our PR and communications strategies. As I have said previously, we are caught between those who want lots of information and those who only want information about shipping products or what they call 'tangible news'. We have been rightly criticised for saying too much about some developments that have not worked and wrongly criticised for others, as in the case of the Nokia Media Terminal and Sendo, both signed deals that fell apart after announcement not because of us but because the products were then pulled by their parent companies.
Our current policy is to make PRs only about things that can be proved. In this way we hope to win back the trust of those who believe we have misled them, although it will annoy those who want more information.
5) Doobrey: With regards to all the FUD and mud slinging, what is your opinion of the legality of MorphOS ?
Fleecy: As an officer of the company, my opinion is that of Amiga Inc. As CTO I concentrate on technical issues and our legal department concentrates on issues of legality.
6) z5: how many people are working at Amiga Inc?
Fleecy: That is internal information and I don't have exact numbers but we operate with a small group of employees and a larger distributed number of contractors.
7) SlimJim: AInc often refer to "internal developers" when talking about what is being done behind the scenes. In contrast to the people working on AOS4, very little is known about AInc's "own" development muscle. Can you give some more information about these famed "internal developers"?
Fleecy: No. Last time we did that, a few of them got mail bombed.
8) Dandy: I can remember of an official AInc-Announcement of July 14th, 2001, stating that "StormC" of Haage & Partner had been chosen by AInc as official developing environment for the next generation Amiga platform. Is this statement still valid?
Fleecy: No. We haven't heard from H&P for over a year now and the last thing I heard was that they were threatening to give up on Amiga and move to other platforms. We are investigating doing our own development environment.
9) alx: In Week 3 Q4, you mentioned how ExecSG was now capable of running OS3.9. Can you confirm that integration of emulation (the main setback) is now finalised?
Fleecy: The test suites for OS3.9 and OS4.0 on the CSPPC are progressing rapidly and despite a few glitches caused by the CSPPC itself, we have found very few problems. The test suites are not complete yet so I can't say it is finalised but we have been very pleased with the performance, stability and compatability so far.
10) jumpship: Is AmigaINC planning on comissioning a standard case for the AmgiaONE? Maybe not for this release, but for the future?
Fleecy: We have discussed it in terms of a marketing identity but there are no firm plans yet.

Tool: MCP Version 1.42
MCP ("MasterControlProgram") from Dieter Groppé version 1.42
Emulator: A/NES CGFX v1.31
The cool feature added here is the autoframerate option that makes miracles
(well close to) for your NSF's assuming you usually don't have a fast enough
computer to play them back at correct speed. Worth to check out anyway hopefully.
You'll find the latest archive in the download section. Be sure to run the
installer aswell if your earlier A/NES CGFX version is < v1.30 since the
installation procedure now installs more files than previous versions.
Anyway, enjoy the release and have a Happy Easter! :-)
