New Article by John Chandler
After a longer break John Chandler at Suite101 wrote a new article titled ´This Is Reality Control´.

In his new column John Chandler deals with a new low-cost PPC computer. This computer is about the RealityStation by Ideas2Reality. This is a A500 like device at £300 with the following features:
  • PowerPC (200 MHz)
  • Graphic system (OpenGL compatible)
  • 5 USB-Ports
  • 2 Firewire-Ports
  • 16 MB FlashROM
  • DVD-Drive
  • Optional harddrive

For operating systems QNX RTP and Linux will be utilized. But the company also is interested in other operating systems and for this hands over to third-party companies the system documentations.

More information can be taken form John Chandler's text under the title link.

Markus Schmidt


The ICQ User List has got a Forum, now
Since there are more and more registrations from people apparently not knowing what ICQ is about, Markus Schmidt has set up a forum which hopefully will be used lively.

It is planned to create an ICQ-FAQ from the postings but at the time being time and information to do that is missing. Thence all ICQ users (and such about to become one) are asked to drop by time by time and use the forum.

Telepolis: Online Readers Are Less Informed
»- and Less Controllable by the Editorial Staff

An investigation on different behavior in reading of print and online issues of the NYTimes complains about missing visual indicators and detention to pure value of the new inside online media.

How does on read news? Contrary to a newspaper, which is bought as a whole and normally you run over the pages in part at least, whereby you possibly occasionally recognize something you originally maybe didn't want to read, you single out much more when you read online. But this maybe also would mean that little by little your point of view takes in more and more, even more by personalized offers.«
You can find the complete article by Florian Roetzer under the title link (German).

Amiga, Inc.: New Executive Update by Bill McEwen

February 06, 2001
Executive Update - St. Louis and Beyond

Greetings to the Amiga Family:

In Melbourne this last year, I was able to surprise many of you with several announcements that were unexpected, and we delivered on each of those.

Now we have a new show coming up in St. Louis. In a few weeks we will all learn...

Where is the AmigaOne? Will Cringley finally eat his words about a new Amiga? What about AmigaDE on PDA's, Set Top Boxes, Internet Appliances, or even desktops? Will Tom and Nicole stay together or is it over? Is there life for the AmigaOS after 3.9?

Contrary to the rumors and what many people are saying about our demise, or that we are going to have the same fate of the others before us, we have a big surprise for all of them.

I look forward to visiting with all of you in St. Louis, and I look forward to taking over the Hotel, and the surrounding area with the Amiga Spirit, and Community.

I hope to see many of you there.

There is still time, and in 6 weeks, it will all be known.

Bill McEwen, and the rest of the Amiga Team

Amiga Arena News
Amiga Arena - Special Price Project!
In cooperation with Bernhard Lindner Amiga Arena makes possible a special price for T.U.M.M.Y! which is a little specialized database managing a big base of cards of the card-game collection Magic The Gathering (>6700 cards). The program's particular fortitude are the extremely powerful search functions allowing to search for any card by almost any criteria imaginable. Many enhancements are planned for the future, but strongly depend on number of registrations.

Amiga Arena - AmiAtlas Special Price Project!
Still until 28 February 2001 AmiAtlas is available for special price. Andreas Regul did NOT stop development of AmiAtlas! (But he just cannot continue development himself.) He still is looking for a programmer for further development. Also hobby developers are addressed by this! If interested please mail to olaf.koebnik@online-club.de.

New Version of WorkON Released
There was a new version of WorkON released on my homepage to be found in the Amiga/WorkON section. WorkON is a littel 'system enhancer' for the AmigaOS. Though it is not in beta stage any more, it wasn't finished, yet. The final version will be released on Aminet, soon. But interested people can already download the archive now and send bug reports to me.

The new features:
  • Many, many bugfixes.
  • Now you can call Exchange and Shell from the menu.
  • Config can be deleted and restored
  • Extended languages for the WB-Help section.
  • User path's can have names.
  • New GUI and new images exclusively by Martin Merz (MIcons)!
  • Archive functions enhanced.
  • The HTML documentation has been reworked, too.

SPIEGEL: Jenny E. of the New Economy
In the current issue of the SPIEGEL (German magazine), in the context of an article about the shady scheming of the former hacker Kim "Kimble" Schmitz, on page 128 the following sentence is written:

"Already as a teenager Schmitz realized that one can do much more than just playing "Pac-Man" with an Amiga computer. Pretendedly he invaded the secure systems of the NASA, Pentagon, and Citibank. Soon he got the aura to be a computer genius. But this version is vehemently mistrusted inside the hacker scene."

A very interesting article making clear that genius and (megalo)mania are very close neighbours.

Desktop Replacement for Windows
The program "WorkbenchOnWin" (only 364kB) makes it easy to give every Windows-Desktop the look'n feel of an Amiga-Workbench. The topical version is an early alpha version and no emulation of an Amiga. Download: wow.zip

I am very keen on the future versions. With some knowledge of the Windows registry it is possible to completely replace the Windows-Desktop.
