Meeting: Pictures und a short report from Commodore-Meeting in Vienna
Stefan Egger writes: I posted a few photos from the Commodore Meeting in Vienna on Flickr. Here's a small report from the meeting:
In addition to lots of C64 computers and similar hardware (roboter arms, C116, Commodore Pong games, a Japanese VIC 1001), lots of Amiga systems were presented at the meeting: Stefan Egger ("computer collection vienna") was showing the very first and very last Amiga models: the A1000 prototype 'Velvet' and one of the few Amiga 4000T systems manufactured by Commodore.
AMike had brought his Amiga 1000 which was featuring a new motherboard ('GBA060'), Turrican had a snow white Amiga 1200 with black keys running various scene demos.
Thomas Dorn, former Commodore Austria employee, was demonstrating something very special: his Amiga 4000 was running a train control system developed by Siemens.
Reinhold Schertler was showing his Amiga 2000 equipped with a 68030 CPU, which was playing videos with a resolution of up to 320x216 pixels at 15 FPS featuring 22 kHz stereo sounnd. (snx) (Translation: cg)

Poll: how many news items should be displayed on the amiga-news.de front page?
The Amiga scene went through a lot of change in the last decade: it used to be an alternative desktop computer system with active users, now it's a hobby for retro enthusiasts and collectors. This had effects on both the amount of news items published by amiga-news.de - it shrank from 10 to 15 items per day to just 3 or 4 per day - and the behaviour of our readers: many of them only check in every few days now.
While every reader could theoretically configure the front page to suit his needs, experience shows that most people simply use the default settings without ever changing them. That's why we would like to ask our users what their preferred configuration for the front page would be. (cg) (Translation: cg)
