`22.Dec.2000` Fun Time World	Amiga Extreme takes a break «Amiga Extreme will be closing for a while. This is because I feel that I don't have the motivation to continue the site, and the fact that there's almost nothing to post, I don't see much of a point in updating. There are better sites for that (Amiga.org and Czech Amiga News for example). Once again, this is not the end, it's just the end for Amiga Extreme on the classic platform. The next time Amiga Extreme will open is when the AmigaONE release is closing in on us and when there's some real news for the new platform. I'm already working on a new design and have lots of ideas for the new AE. Also, the e-mail addresses will still be up, so you can mail me at syke@amigaextreme.com. More info will be posted when it's time. I have no plans to leave the Amiga platform, and I'm confident that the new Amiga platform will be successful. Your sincerely - Stefan "Syke" Falk - webmaster@amigaextreme.com.» [News message: 22. Dec. 2000, 04:02] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`22.Dec.2000` Stefan Robl by e-mail	FMdriver V1.14 BETA released Stefan writes: On my homepage is now an official beta version of my driver system for the FrameMachine video card. New additions include a GrabbingCenter, hardware drivers were moved into a library (68k and PPC), slight speed improvements, localisation of the most important programs and a couple of little things ... :) I can only offer limited support until February 2001 as I will put all my projects "on ice" to allow me more time for my studies. Thanks for your understanding! Christmas is soon ... what's missing? Of course, my annual "Christmas letter" ;-), here in English. [News message: 22.

Therefore "Back to the Roots" (http://www.back2roots.org) brings you some nice presents in form of some wonderful classic Amiga games - as always for free and with permission! The companies Dynamix and Digital Integration are supporting our project now, too so the flight simulations Red Baron, F-16 Combat Pilot and Tornado are now online. Also the great adventure games Space Quest 1 (the remake!), Colonel's Bequest, Code name: Iceman and others like Thunderhawk, Wonder Dog, Vroom and Warhead! There are interviews with the legendary Scene-musicians "Jester/ Sanity" and "Clawz/Bomb" online, too! Both are telling some interesting news, not only for music lovers. As usual there were also tons of Scene-demos, pictures and modules from Amiga games and the demo scene added. We'd like to thank all our visitors for their support during the last year and send greetings to all companies and people who helped us to keep the classic stuff alive.

`20.Dec.2000` Michael Wurstwasser via eMail	ANN: Fleecy Discussing Michael wrote: «Each one who is not perfectly aware of the intentions and attitudes of Amiga Inc. might be interested in the long discussion at ANN (see title link - ca. 350 kB). Even if it might never happen and MorphOS assumedly would be the better choice, so it might be interesting with Fleecy Moss' statements there in mind for once to consider the "50,000-copies"-edge to be the promise of a solid 4.0 PPC under active headship by Amiga Inc. Contrary to the suspicion this might only be an unsocial lure to gain more income, cause I initially took it by this, too. It's a pity that always only hard discussions and impeachment generate clarifying answers from Amiga Inc. or other companies. In this case regarding the 50,000 copies promise.» [News message: 20.

`20.Dec.2000` Heise [Newsticker]	Heise: Background details: Microsoft are Stricken «Crippled due to the cartel case, tantalized by cracker's attacks, and trailed by the general downwards trend of the PC branch the software giant from Redmond now starts to paddle hectically. Because the signs are indicating storm: For the first time after ten years and for the second time in the company's history at all Microsoft had to call out a profit caution for the current quarter. PC sales in the otherwise so opulent Christmas business are stagnating worldwide, thus the best income source stops bubbling the way Bill Gates' crew was used to. After all, almost a third of volume of sales Microsoft draws from the fact that vendors sell PC's along with Windows or other products by Microsoft.» Complete article under the title link (German).
