Event: updated information about the Amiga-Meeting Nord
From October, 13. to October, 15. does in Bad Bramstedt the Amiga-Meeting Nord take place again. As Sven Scheele announced, already 28 participiants have registered which is a new register record for this point in time. The number of participiants is limited to 40 computers places.

Among the participiants are two developers right now. So will Guido Mersmann show the current development state of his TV cards software Valiant Vision. The AmithlonTV successor will for example receive support for DVB-T/S/C cards.

Sven Dröge will for the first time introduce his new HBCI capable banking software proBanking to the public. The software is still in development. Sven Dröge is the author of the stock exchange software proBonds.

If there's enough interest there will be a small workshop to demonstrate the possibilities of the programming language AmiBlitz2.

With Axel Knabe there'll be a reseller at the meeting, too. There you can among other things have a look at see the current development state of the CD/DVD burner software BurnIt. The release of the program is further delayed but in the meantime it passes through a special beta test.

The organizers want to call once again all developers to use the meeting to show their projects respectively their products to the potential users. For this there's still the offer of a participation at half the normal price. (snx) (Translation: wk)

A quotation of the event description: "08/15 ist out, C64 is in... this or something like this could be the motto of the Xzentrix. We want to offer the computer fans what they seek in vain nowadays: like-minded people...

Simply computer users who don't want to stop with the question "Why does my Office constantly report a general protection fault to 0AF3:037B?', but people for whom it is more important to have fun with their computers rather than to float with the current." (snx) (Translation: iw)

At morphzone.org Marcin 'Marcik' Kwiatkowski has published a new screenshot of his KHTML based web browser Sputnik, which illustrates the image quality of a well-known browser test. A comprehensive status update is to follow within a short time.

According to Kwiatkowski he thinks about distributing his browser for MorphOS and AmigaOS 3/4 commercially instead of releasing it within the framework of the MorphOS Bounty programme as open source software as it had been planned originally. (cg) (Translation: iw)
