• The Developer System contains an AMD K6 (500 MHz), 64 MB RAM and GeForce 256, which runs the Tao System very well.
• However only the Virtual Processor is of importance, which already runs on x86, PowerPC, MIPS, ARM, SH4 and other mega-CPUs which will be announced soon.
• The Developer System currently runs "hosted" on a Linux kernel.
• Tao only provides the core for the new OS.
• The kernel has a size of 25 Kb, the whole OS including GUI and Java needs 3 MB RAM.
• The GUI system is seperated, making it possible to add multiple GUI modules.
• The first GUI model will be very different from today's AmigaOS GUI, but users are free to create whatever they want.
• The Developer System should be available in two to four weeks, for everyone.
• The end-user system is scheduled for this year.
• Two user groups are targeted: The "digital adventurer" (an expansion of the miga market today) and those who basically don't like computers (Domestic Digital Habitat).
• The new Amiga website (http://www.amiga.com) will go online in a few days.
• Developer software will be available from a support website.
• Later on, the developer software should run on any PC with the named specifications, but support will only be offered for those purchasing the system from AMIGA.
• Today, partnerships with multi-billion dollar companies will be announced.
• The Amiga technology will be available for licensing for any company with a good idea and a little money.
• Today, there will be an announcement concerning AROS (Amiga Replacement OS).
• AMIGA itself is currently not working on an 68k emulation, but is in contact with several companies willing to take over this job (but for different goals).

Swedish and danish Amiga magazines

It is not only bad things  going  on  in  the  market  for  Amiga
magazines.  About  three months ago the Amiga community in Sweden
again got access to a magazine about Amiga in their own language.
This  magazine  is produced by the danish magazine Amiga Advis in
cooperation with Rolf Eric. He has this good point and  advantage
that he is born and bred in Sweden.

Temporarily he stays in Denmark but have learned  himself  danish
so  therefore  he  is  not  only  a  pawn  in the translation and
publishing in Sweden. We hope that som swedish writers will  join
the  list  of  suppliers  of  articles to the magazines. When the
magazines springs from the same source  they  could  exploit  the
united  efforts.  Both  the  swedish  and the danish editions are
medleys of reviews, courses, notices, correspondence columns etc.
In short, throughout a real magazine with what beongs to that.

But in short  of  costs,  the  magazines  are  not  published  in
colours.  If you are interested in supporting these magazines you
can obtain them in the

following ways:

With swedish and danish regards

Svensk och dansk Amigamagasin

Det händer inte bara dåliga saker på Amigamagasin  området  idag.
För  cirka  tre  månader  sedan  fick  AmigaSverige  återigen ett
Amigamagasin. Detta magasin startades av Amiga Advis i sammarbeta
med Rolf Eric som har den fördel att ha varit född och uppvuxen i
Stockholmstrakterna, men bor tillfälligt i Köpenhamn.

Rolf har blivit en viktig bricka i  att  få  de  danska  texterna
översatta  till  svenska.  Dock hoppas vi på att det också kommer
svenska skribenter för att tidningarna  ska  kunna  växa  samman.
Detta  vill  vi  uppnå  för  att  undvika  känslan av att den ena
tidningen kommer ur den andra, så att vi får  en  känsla  av  att
tidningen skapas från samma källa.

Båda  utgåvorna  av  tidningen  är  en  blandning av anmälningar,
kurser, aktuella artiklar, läsarbrev med  mera.  Kort  sagt  helt
igenom  ett  riktigt  Amigamagasin med allt som där tillhör, dock
utkommer Amiga Advis i svart|vitt tryck.

Är du intresserad i att ansluta dig till detta Amigablad, kan  du
anskaffa dig något av dem på följande sätt

Svenskspråkiga Amiga Advis

Den svenska utgåvan har kommit ut med två nummer och  den  tredje
är  snart  kommen  från  tryck och ska vara klar till utgivning i
loppet av en vecka. 1999 (sv) är  på  24  sidor  i  A4format  och
kostar SEK 25,-

2000/01 (sv) är på 36 sidor i A4format och kostar SEK 35,-
2000/02 (sv) och framåt kommer att vara på cirka 36 sidor i A4 och
kosta SEK 35,-

Svenskt og danskt Amiga-magasin

Der foregår ikke kun dårlige ting  på  Amiga-magasinområdet.  For
ca.  tre måneder siden fik Amiga i Sverige igen et Amiga magasin.
Dette magasin blev startet  af  det  danske  Amiga-magasin  Amiga
Advis  i samarbejde med Rolf Eric som har den fordel at være født
og opvokset i Sverige, men som nu midlertidigt bor i Danmark.

Under sit ophold i Danmark har Rolf lært sig dansk og  med  disse
engenskaber er

han  en  specielt vigtig brik i at få det danske blad oversat til
svensk. Dog håber vi på at der  også  kommer  svenske  skribenter
til, sådan at disse blade der udspringer af samme kilde, frem for
at det ene kun er afskrift af det  andet,  kan  have  bidrag  fra
begge læserkredse. Både det svenske blad og det danske blad er en
blanding af anmeldelser, kurser,  aktuelle  artikler,  læserbreve
m.m.,  kort sagt, helt igennem et rigtigt magasin med hvad dertil
hører. Dog udkommer Amiga Advis ikke i farver. Er du interesseret
i  at  bakke  op  omkring  disse  bladet  kan  du anskaffe dem på
følgende måde:

Danmark, Amiga Advis
Det danske Amiga-magasin er udkommet siden  august  1996  og  har
gennem  sine  fire år udgivet i alt 44 numre. Det danske blad kan
du fortsat købe i forskellige kiosker rundt omkring i Danmark  og
i et par enkelte kiosker på Færøerne og i Grønland.

Du kan også vælge at blive abonnent ved at gøre følgende: Tag  et
indbetalingskort  til  Postgiro  og  udfyld  det  med dit navn og
adresse, anfør det du bestiller, beløbet samt vores navn, adresse
og gironummer. Husk at skrive dit navn tydeligt.

HOT NEWS FROM THE AMIGA FOREVER TEAM

While some of the most enthusiastic (and lucky) emulation users are
reporting faster-than-060 Amiga speeds on their new GHz-class PCs,
Cloanto just made available a new set of Amiga Forever 3.0 files at
http://amigaforever.com/. The Amiga Forever home page also includes new
links to legal downloads of classic Amiga games and other software.

Amiga Forever Online Edition is now also available in a convenient
cross-platform ZIP archive. All Amiga ROM, Workbench and the preinstalled
System and Work configurations are ready to run on any platform for which
the UAE or Fellow Amiga emulators are available (e.g. Linux, Mac, DOS, etc.)
As our users already know, Amiga Forever includes a legal and official
license to all Amiga technology (patents, copyrights, trademarks, etc.)
which is implemented in the resulting emulation configuration.

Both the Windows and the cross-platform version of Amiga Forever were
brought up-to-date with the latest versions of the bundled third-party
software, and are now being released after extensive tests. The WinUAE
emulation software has also been updated. The Workbench now opens in an RTG
screen mode by default, resulting in a faster system. Also, Martin R.
Huttenloher, author of MagicWB, kindly allowed us to use his original color
scheme, so that the Amiga Forever Workbench environment, without further
changes or add-ons, can now properly display both NewIcons, GlowIcons and
MagicWB icons. This is something which not even "Amiga OS 3.5" can do!

The new Amiga Explorer 3.5 software, which can be used to connect an Amiga
to one or more Windows systems, is available alone for $19.95, or included
in either the Windows or the cross-platform version of Amiga Forever, which
cost $29.95. The Amiga Forever Plus Pack, which includes a collection of
additional ROM and Workbench files of historical interest, and an interview
(MP3 audio) with the late Jay Miner, "Father of the Amiga", is available at
the special promotional price of $9.95 with every order of Amiga Forever.

Subject:       Announce: Commander-ImageFX (Customizable GUI)

About Commander
---------------
One of the drawbacks of many programs is the lack of a customizable
user interface. Functions, such as ARexx scripting and plug-ins, often
have to be started via file requesters or multi-level menus. This
approach can slow down your workflow - and often hinder your creative
energy.

ImageFX, for example, lacks a customizable (or updated) command
interface. When new modules/hooks scripts are added to the program
(home-made, pd, shareware, or commerical) you're required to select
those functions through a file requester or other means. This can slow
down the creative process. Commander is the solution to that problem.

Features
--------
- Can control any program that has an ARexx command set. A "GENERIC"
  demo is available to demonstrate Commander's capabilities regardless
  of what application you want to use it with. If you have an
  application that you would like to see Commander support for, please
  let us know.

- Commander is currently available for: ImageFX. See special features
  below.

- Extensive customization allows the user to design multiple
  interfaces for all kinds of different approaches to working.
  Just about everything is customizable, including: layout, fonts,
  gadgets, colors, images, etc.

- Openable on any public screen. Can be run multiple times on the same
  screen and/or on different screens, each with a different or same GUI.

- Can control more than one application from one GUI.

- GUIs are designed external to the main program. This minimizes memory
  requirements and increases the interface speed.

- Includes useful examples and tutorials to get you started. Example
  files can be modified to meet your needs, or new interfaces can be
  created.

ImageFX Features
----------------
- Works with any version of ImageFX under WB2.x or higher.

- Full control of ImageFX via it's ARexx command set. Now you can have
  immediate access to all those extra hooks and effects that aren't part
  of the standard ImageFX GUI.

- Commander can start automatically when ImageFX starts. Quitting
  Commander can also quit ImageFX.

- Can be run multiple times on different screens, for multiple
  simultaneous iterations of ImageFX.


What Will Commander Do?
-----------------------
Commander allows you to customize your own GUI for supported
applications, giving you the ability to directly access your favourite
ARexx commands, scripts, and plug-ins in a way that works best for you.

If you use a large screen (1280x1024) you may wish to have numerous
independently movable panels of grouped commands. If you use a smaller
display (640x400) you may prefer to have a page flipping type
interface. Or you may want to have multiple configurations for
different kinds of workflow. Commander can do it all.

What Won't Commander Do?
------------------------
Commander won't help you to be creative, but it will help your creative
flow by avoiding the hinderance of a cumbersome GUI.

Requirements
------------
- WB 2.x+
- Text editor
- A supported application (see above)
