Two new games (Website currently down)
Alive Mediasoft will publish two new games in April: Super Taekwondo Master and Cedric and the Search for the Magic Sceptre. Super Taekwondo Master is a 2D action simulation with one- and two-player modes.

Cedric and the Search for the Magic Sceptre is an action role-playing game in which you play the role of the heroic Cedric who undyingly fell in love with the daughter of the king. This love is reciprocated, but of course the king won't let his daughter marry a commoner. One day the king's magic sceptre is stolen, and Cedric now gets the chance to raise his reputation by returning the sceptre. In the process, Cedric has to master some adventures. (Translation: mb)

Launch of www.amigan.com
On April 3rd http://www.amigan.com will launch. My work DNS server just picked it up this morning, so do not be distressed if it does not come up, it exists I assure you :) (look at www.qwhois.com to see). This is web site is owned by the newly formed Grapevine Computers Inc., and will eventually include many features, at this point I'm not sure which ones will be operational at launch date. It is being run on a fully Pearl/CGI enabled Linux web server with a secure site certifcate for secure online purchases.

The idea behind this corporation is that it will be 100% owned by Amiga users, and at launch date users may purchase shares of stock no matter where in the world they live (We've contacted the IRS on how to do this). We want to compete with the very few online vendors of Amiga products that have a monoply like effect selling upgrade parts and replacement parts for very high prices for classic Amiga. We will also be a dealer for the new Amiga. I've contacted Bill McEwen but I haven't heard back from him (he's a busy guy I'm sure), to get the offical Amiga blessing. All shareholders will get a discount on items for sale, and right now were planning on members of the board of directors getting products at cost. Shares of common stock will be sold for $1 US, and anyone can purchase a few as one share. It is a privately held close corporation, in in will operate pursuant to the Texas Close Corporation Act (my lawyer talking there).

We're also looking for a couple people. One, someone to translate the site into German and and server as a coordinator and contact for operations for German. Second, someone to serve as a cordinator and contact for operations in England. Stock will be traded in consideraton for these positions, and they will eventually will be paying positions when we get off the ground. This is by no means full time (it's not going to be full time for me either, even though my girlfriend sure thinks it is). Interested persons can e-mail president@amigan.com . If their DNS servers are not updated yet, they can e-mail tom@grapevinecomputers.com .

Further details will be released on April 3rd on the website. Anyone having quesitons can e-mail me.

Thanks, Tom Kisner, President/CEO, Grapevine Computers (Translation: mb)

Alive Mediasoft website down
Within 6 hours of Alive's new web site being launched, we have exceeded our monthly traffic allowance! As we are already on our providers premium gold account we cannot increase the bandwidth any further with them. The site is still there but many people are find it impossible to get on as it's just too busy. We are in contact with several larger internet providers to find someone to cope with the traffic. As soon as we find one we'll move the site and hopefully see no more problems.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but do keep trying - you never know it may calm down in the next few day! (Translation: mb)

Alive Mediasoft with new website
Alive new web site is finally open with a host of new features, new games, new hardware, and serious software. As a special welcome back present, for a limited period Alive's game Blade will be available for free download. (Please read the legal terms before downloading).

So now all you have to do is go and have a look...

But be warned - the site is experiencing very heavy traffic, and although we've increased our band width to the largest account available, you may still get a request for a time-out. If this happens, please come back later.

NEW Pulse Soon
The Pulse Issue 12 is just around the corner. We are giving you an advance opportunity to request your copy now, as all 2500 copies of issue 11 were requested in advance and went on the day they arrived from the printers.

As we've had a good response from issue 11, we may consider increasing this run to 3000 if demand is high enough, but we must know within the next week. (Translation: mb)

.Amiga too long as a domain ending!
The article has been removed, since it seems to be an early April Fool's joke. (mb)


Regarding the article above, we recieved the following counter-reply from Pierre Prestel, which we release unchanged:

Pierre Prestel [http://Amiga.Ac]
Admin@Amiga.Ac [mailto:Admin@Amiga.Ac]
30. March 2000

COUNTER-REPLY!

On the internet site "/archiv/news0003.shtml", my article from March 23rd, 2000 was changed by the Amiga-News.De editors, to make the following incorrect claim:

Post Scriptum 28.03.2000:
Article removed, since it seems to be an early April Fool's joke.
----------
Herewith I make use of my right to have a counter-reply published! My article, where I promised a free .pc domain including unlimited webspace to the first 50 people sending in an e-mail, has been removed to make the incorrect claim that it seems like an early April Fool's joke. This is a FALSE claim which probably was intended to reduce my creditibility and the status of the Amiga search engine http://Amiga.Ac.
Once again I want to confirm that all of the first 50 people sending in an e-mail (which have not been reached so far) will recieve the promised domain including unlimited webspace.

Pierre Prestel
System-Administrator


Note from the editors:
1. ICANN "Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Number" - Authority for CCTLDs (CountryCodeTopLevelDomain) - has only accepted a single new CCTLD since it's founding, "ps" standing for Palestina. There are no informations about accepting a "pc" CCTLD.

2. IANA "Internet Assigned Numbers Authority" - Authority in IP issues - maintains the list of all valid CCTLDs for the ICANN, and also does not list an CCTLD "pc".

3. Only the name server available at amiga.ac lists the CCTLD "pc". None of the worldwide, centralized name servers on the internet knows this CCTLD. This means that persons who want to surf to a subdomain of the CCTLD "pc" have to tell their TCP/IP stack to use the nameserver amiga.ac first.

For the above reasons, we (the editors) don't think that a claim for counter-reply is valid. In the interest of finding the truth, we of course accepted the text above for official release. (Translation: mb)
