amiga-news.de included in the webcharts at gutesites.de :-)
You will be happy to hear that your site has been added to the Web Charts. More precisely, to the charts of the Good Sites Germany.

The web charts can be found at http://www.gutesites.de/ and http://www.schlechtesites.de/. There is an option to rate the listed websites. As you can see, there is also a chart for especially bad sites. This area can only be called "unbelievable". ;)

Oh yes, we are happy :-) If you want, you can rate amiga-news.de. We are very keen to see the results. In the right hand menu, we placed a little banner with link, so our readers can rate us at a later time. (ps)

Added afterwards:
Within a few hours, over 250 people have rated our site, and in no time boosted us to rank #1. Thanks for the great ratings :-). (ps) (Translation: mb)

ideaEDGE Ventures
Interesting, interesting! This company will be "Creating a New Generation of Internet Companies".

What's so interesting about it? The founder's names:

Jim Collas - Managing Partner, Post-PC Solutions
Rick LeFaivre - Managing Partner, Technology
Dan Pittard - Managing Partner, Business and Finance
Tom Schmidt - Managing Partner, B2B Solutions and Infrastructure

Also interesting is that the index site (title link) pictures the Boing ball texture in the leftmost picture of the line. This leaves room for many speculations I don't like participating in, but if Jim Collas supports AMIGA - in whatever way - I would very much wellcome this :-))). (ps) (Translation: mb)

AmIDE Beta version 0.2b released
The first public beta version of AmIDE has been released. AmIDE is a so-called "Integrated Development Environment", helping you in maintaining, editing and compiling your projects. The MUI graphical interface is used for this. In the current beta, AmIDE supports the SAS/C compiler, but in the final version, other compilers like Storm-C or vbcc will also be supported.

With AmIDE it is possible to work on several projects simultaneously, and compile them parallel. AmIDE is written completely object oriented, ensuring a high level of flexibility and expandability. In the future, more user requests will be implemented, and more compilers supported.

Wim AmIDE, the author hopes to finally bring a decent developer environment to the Amiga which can compete with other IDEs like KDevelop for KDE. A direct editor support for GoldED will also be implemented in the next version. Jens Langner will probably present AmIDE on the Amiga-Atari show in Neuss, Germany, on June 10th / 11th. (Translation: mb)

akDatatypes for MorphOS
Special versions of the akDatatypes are planned for MorphOS. From a developer point of view, MorphOS is an excellent platform for future Amiga PPC applications. Since registrations have decreased by 80%, but PPC apps make up 90% of all registrations, focussing completely on MorphOS seems likely - as a last-ditch attempt to give an impulse to the remaining market.

Added afterwards: As a small addition to my recent MorphOS statement - which might have been misleading in that point - I'd like to add the following: although special akDatatype versions for MorphOS are planned, already the current PPC datatypes (and most likely all other of my PPC applications, although not yet tested entirely) will run without any modifications. The special MorphOS versions just are for gaining extra speed and dropping old 68k/WOS/PPC ballast overboard. (Translation: mb)

hardhacks.de
In the meantime, much has changed at AmigaHardHacks! We created a new domain at www.hardhacks.de, because we will now also support other systems like Linux, Macintosh and Newton. The design was changed completely to speed up loading.

But there is much to do! So we are looking for people who have the time and motivation to participate in creating hardhacks.de! If you are interested, send an e-mail to: rene.koenig@hardhacks.de. We also welcome suggestions for improvement! (Translation: mb)

HydraBBS


HydraBBS Source Code available
The source code for HydraBBS is now available for download. The author, Dominic Clifton, gives permission to continue developing the program, but you must not charge a fee for it. However he contradicts himself in saying also that he wants a full version if parts of his program are used in commercial or shareware products. This seems to be more a basis for talks... ;-)

Supplement 13.04.2000:
In the Amiga News Forum, Dominic Clifton clarified the conditions for using the HydraBBS source code:
If you want to continue development of HydraBBS, you should present the version to Dominic prior to release, if possible. You must not sell the product.
If you use parts of HydraBBS in your own program, or use the source code as a basis for own ideas for other BBS programs, Dominic recieves a full version of that program. (Translation: mb)

tecChannel.de: Can Amiga succeed at a Comeback?
Alltogether there have been 24 such promises since Gateway purchased the Amiga technology and patents, but Gateway allowed the hardware to fall 4 generations behind current existing systems. Then they fired the manager in charge of the Amiga project (Jim Collas) Now the rights and technology lies with a new company named Amiga. Why should things now be any different? Why should anyone believe that this antiquated platform has a chance in today`s marketplace, regardless of how ingenious it is adapted? Who is behin this new company?
