Motorola: The Handy Turns 20
The mobile telephone has turned 20 years old. Since the 1983 introduction of the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, the cellphone has turned from the prestigious posession of executives to the constantly present tool for everyman. Few other inventions have changed life so much in the last two decades.

Note from translator: the article goes on into a long German language history of the cellphone. If desired, you may copy the address of the amiga-news.de German language article (http://www.amiganews.de/de/news/AN-2003-06-00096-DE.html) into an automatic translation service, such as that found at http://www.altavista.com by clicking on the "translate" link.

ELektroniknet: How costless is Linux?
»The experience of an independant software developer
A little bit costless? Or not free at all? During a Linux project there arrive many obstacles which are invisible in the beginning. This lesson an independent software developer had to experience personally.«

Here are some extracts from the article which is readable by the title link (German):
  • "I just finished to install embedded Linux on a PowerPC system; That opend my eyes. [...]"
  • "After some months our hardware was stable, our Linux port too and the application was more or less ready to use [...]"
  • "Is embedded Linux the potential to grow? Sure at least. Is it really costless? No way. [...]"
  • "Embedded Linux is real, it's capable to grow but it is not gratis. It is easy to get attracted by embedded Linux but then you will soon find yourself within the operating system support business rather than in the application development. Would I chose Linux again? Yes I would but this time with a seeing eye from the start.

AmiZilla Website gets a major update
The Amizilla site has been updated.
  • New! AmiZilla Mascot by Eric Schwartz now online. Thank you Eric for all the hard work and effort you put into designing her.
  • NEW! AmiZilla FAQ Update
  • NEW! Hot CoCo briefly announced. This project will kick off after AmiZilla is a success. Info about it is in the AmiZilla FAQ.
  • New! AmiZilla Guidelines, thank you Targhan for coming up with most of the AmiZilla guidelines.
  • New! Amiga Arena interview now on the AmiZilla website for easy reading.
  • New! AmiZilla Mailing List has over 119 members and over 120 messages. Messages are not about basket weaving they are about coding. Keep in mind this mailing list is less than 3 weeks old.
  • Booty now @ $3696.
    Keep in mind that the AmiZilla Project needs you to be successful. The booty is almost @ $4000 which is a nice amount of money. If only one programmer was working on the port this would be a nice reward. However several programmers are working together. Once money is split among coders the booty is not big enough. Please contribute if you can, every dollar helps motivate programmers to make the AmiZilla Project a success.


About AmiZilla
The goal of the AmiZilla effort is to raise such an obscene/huge amount of money to give away to the first programmer/team that can port Mozilla to Amiga/Compatible systems that programmers will be falling over themselves getting this application coded in record time.

Sound card: New delfina.library beta version
The new version of the delfina.library now supports the sound card on the clockport of the Highway USB card by E3B. Unfortunately, the clockport of the Highway card is not 100% identical with the clockport of the A1200 motherboard, so proper function is not ensured in all cases. Please report any problems.
