`19.May.2001` Frank Seidel via E-Mail	ARexx: Selection Script for Miami Everybody who wants to save money and therefore assigns his online times to several providers, knows the problem having to call in Miami the cheapest provider for the time being via "Load settings" every time. Frank Seidel has written a small ARexx script to simplify this. If you call the script for example via the Toolmanager Miami is started (if not already running) and then you can immediately choose via button the wanted settings file. There are four buttons available: \| Standard \| Mon - Sat \| Sun + holiday \| Choose yourself \| Clicking on ´Choose yourself´ opens a file requester in the Miami directory, and you can choose the file yourself. After that Miami goes online. Download: Miami.lha (ps) [News message: 19. May. 2001, 21:54] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

Jim Drew from Microcode Solutions wrote on the 18.05.2001: Today, Microcode Solutions finalized preparation for the production of PowerPC hardware to be used in PC compatibles and next generation Amiga machines. The hardware will come with software to emulate a Power Macintosh (tm) computer. More information concerning the emulation will be released in the near future. Specifications for the hardware will not be released until the hardware is ready to ship. However, we can say that the hardware will have some astounding features designed around simplifying 3rd party development, including emulation technology. Microcode Solutions will be offering free developer hardware to qualified companies and 3rd party developers (including freeware/shareware). Microcode Solutions will also be releasing a complete SDK for the hardware to the public, and provide technical support to anyone interested in developing software for this hardware.

If the device contains a PPC or a x86 processor was not mentioned in the message. IBM had announced PPCs for Internet appliances (just like this one) where graphics chips and parts of the periphery will be integrated on the chip. And if anyone wonders why this message belongs to the newsticker, here one hint: "This could have been the AmigaNG (QNX+Opera+[PPC ?])". Article of Heise see title link (German).
