`07.Jul.2003` Jens Schönfeld (ANF)	individual Computers: Show report: AAA 2003, Commodore Billboard back online This weekend, the Amiga Alpe Adria 2003 took place in Udine, Italy - another station of Amiga OS4 on tour. The show was organized by Cloanto, well-known for a lot of Amiga programs and the emulator "Amiga Forever". Jürgen Schober of Point Design had to make two OS4 presentations, because the room was totally overcrowded with more than 100 Amiga fans and journalists of daily press and computer magazines. We also had the chance to show our products in a 30-minute presentation. Best-seller of the present retailers Soft 3 and Virtual Works was the Catweasel MK3, that became the first choice accessory for many Amiga One owners because of it's high degree of integration into the hard- and software of the new Amiga. A small Retro-computing museum right at the entrance of the showroom brought back joyful memories in the visitors. Rare items like an SX-64 in best shape, a VIC-20 rev.1, and even a C65 prototype were shown. One of the first multi-computer games (today's networking games) was shown on two PET computers that were connected through the serial ports. The home computer pioneer Altair 8800 from 1975 was the only none-Commodore computer. The "Video Microwave", a Pegasos-board that was built in the case of a Sharp Microwave oven, was - at best - good for a laugh. The keyboard did not work at all, and it only took a few mouseclicks to make the computer with the MorphOS operating system crash. The reason for this could not be found in the short time of the show. Commodore Billboard back online Our good news for the fans of Commodore nostalgia almost got lost in the excitement surrounding Amiga OS4: The Commodore Billboard is back online! The initiator of the project, Søren Ladegaard (Denmark) had to drop the project due to lack of time in January 2003, and transferred the website to individual Computers. We're now sponsoring the website that can cause a lot of traffic with it's several hundred megabytes in size. During the past half year, the new webmaster Stefan Zelazny has converted the audio and video files to mpeg and mp3, so the website can be viewed on most platforms. For example, the Realplayer is not necessary any more. Currently, the website is available under the address www.commodorebillboard.de. The .com domain will be made available in the coming weeks. If you're interested in a local copy of the website, you can support us in paying for the high cost of the website by ordering the CD. It will be available in August this year from all our retail partners for about 15,- EUR. The double-CD package also contains some surprises for Commodore-fans! (ps) [News message: 07.

`04.Jul.2003` Niels Bache (ANF)	Pictures of the OS4 tour in Göteborg by Niels Bache Niels Bache has uploaded his pictures of Göteborg. Remark of Niels Bache: I have heard of some people that the new free server (frac.dk) which I use is not as fast as desired. I ask for your patience and your insight because I can use this server as a guest for free. I myself could not find out these problems and therefore I suppose that the problem of speed happens only few times e.g. if much traffic is caused. Please have another attempt to a different time if this happens. (ps) (Translation: dr) [News message: 04. Jul. 2003, 17:48] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

Battilana (E-Mail)	Tomorrow: Amiga Alpe Adria 2003 in Udine, Italy For the last time the website of the Amiga Alpe Adria 2003 which will take place tomorrow in Udine, Italy has been updated. The list of the presentations has been updated as well as the list of the hardware and software which can be seen. This week the organizer got the offer to exhibit a Commodore PET 4016 which is connected with a PET 3008. Of course this offer was accepted. Besides this a Commodore 65 (a prototype which was never released) will be shown. In Austria Jürgen Schober is busy with the last preparations for the AmigaOS 4.0 presentation while in Germany Jens Schönfeld prepares himself for the C-One presentation. Genesi has made a PowerPC Pegasos with MorphOS which was installed in a microwave available. Many people from all over the world have booked for and are on the way. We hope we see us.
