»Flat screen or ordinary monitor? Modern flat screens mostly are better.
The tested TFT displays provide pin sharp pictures. They are compact, eye friendly and
save energy. Disadvantage: Flat screens are expensive. Price starts at 445 Euro. A good
ordinary monitor can be obtained for a price of 255 Euro, already.

Psyria: Defender of the Crown title song for mobile phones
Dennis Lohr of Psyria has received the permission of Jim Cuomo to
convert the title song of Defender of the Crown for mobile phones.
Everyone with a phone with note editor can now enter the melody of
Defender of the Crown:
4C5, 8C.5, 16D5, 2C5, 4G5, 8G.5, 16A5, 2G5, 4F5, 4E5, 4D5,
4C5, 4E5, 8B.4, 16B4, 2B4, 4C5, 8C.5, 16D5, 2C5, 4G5, 8G.5,
16A5, 4G.5, 16F5, 16E5, 8F5, 8E5, 8D5, 8C5, 8F5, 8E5, 8D5,
8C5, 4E5, 8B.4, 16B4, 2B4, 4F5, 8F5, 8F5, 8G5, 8G5, 8A5,
8G5, 4C6, 8C.5, 16C5, 4C5
The first number is the note type:
1= full
2= half
4= quarter
8= quaver
16= sixteenth
The letter stands for the note itself (long with a "." where necessary). The third
number stands for the note height (octave). You are usually in octave 5 after
starting the editor.
The user should choose the speed for the piece himself since every mobile phone
varies the speed differently. For a Siemens mobile phone for example the optimal
speed would be "03".

Encyclopedia mentiones the Amiga
The "Multimedia-Encyclopedia 2002", which can be purchased at Aldi (German
discounter), is reading about the Amiga:
»Amiga
Home computer developed in the 80th by the company Amiga, then distributed
by Commodore with Motorola processors. Popular home computers of the Amiga line
are the models Amiga 500 and Amiga 1000. More efficient versions of the Amiga
also could be utilized for more challenging projects (Amiga 2000 and Amiga 4000).
Amiga was taken over by the German trade chain Escom, then by the US company
Viscorp, and finally by the company Amino, but though several announcements
were made no new Amiga products were launched, so far.« (ps) (Translation: mj)

AGC failed
Unfortunately there has not been much interest in my attempt to found the AGC (Amiga Guide Community). I intended to create a common basis for all those who like to work with the AmigaGuideFormat. I was also going to create a website which should have contained all publications of the AmigaGuideFormat that have been ever written.
Some of the active AmigaGuide writer answered very pleased but nobody could help me realizing the project so I stopped it in summer 2001.
Up to now I did not have the time to publish this sad message. Sad because the AmigaGuideFormat is underestimated of most of the Amiga users although it is used very often. However, maybe there is somebody who is interested in. I still have not thrown away my notices of this project.

file. Also fixed an enforcer hit when closing the window, was freeing

VNC: zvnc V.1.1
David Gerber has released version 1.1 of his VNC client "zvnc"
on 28. December 2001. Following the changes:
- Bugfix: Port- and cx_priority arguments were not
observed.
- New: Documentation extended with more FAQ entries.
"zvnc" is a small
VNC-Client
without display support (for controlling a second machine with monitor).
The advantage of "zvnc" are a minimum of data to be send via the network,
because the graphics data are not applied. That makes control by mouse and
keyboard very straight.
The archive contains versions for AmigaOS 2.x / 3.x, and MorphOS.

Telepolis: Lifelong imprisonment becaus of distribution of unused machine time?
In this article Birgitte Zarzer reports about the system administrator David McOwen,
who provided unused machine time of several computers of the University of Georgia to
distributed.net, and thereby catched harshly
trouble in return. He will face court in January and possibly will catch very long
lasting imprisonment.
There are also many Amiga users helping distributed.amiga.org
to crack the RC5 key. This worldwide competition is about to crack a 64bit key by calculating all of the
18.4 trillons of possibilities. One can provide unused computing capabilities of the own machine for this
matter by using some specified software.
In case you are utilizing "foreign" machines for this, after reading this article you appear to be adviced
to raise a written permission.
See title link for the Telepolis article (German).

clickBOOM: Defender of the Crown - S-File 15
Defender of the Crown (for Windows and MAC) is basically finished. It is currently being tested
against bugs. In the last few weeks we added a whole new type of game
play to it -- missions. Basically, if you accept, and fulfill a mission,
you get a reward during the game. Missions range from defeating a certain
lord, to rescuing damsels, etc. Rewards can be additional gold, soldiers,
and more. It plays very nice and adds a whole new dimension to the tried
and tested original Defender game play.
