"I wanted to remind everyone one last time about the car-pool market to the AmigaOS 4 Event in Essen on th 15th of May, 2004...
Here is where all desiring to catch a ride may enter themselves, as may those who still have a seat free in their cars. You'll find the car-pool market under "Messe-Special" [Covention Special -dm] at amition.de". (cg) (Translation: dm)

Merregnon 2 - project finished!
After more than three years of development, the Merregnon 2 project is finished! The album is due to be released on 2004/05/24 in Germany.
You can pre-order your CD at shops like Amazon.de, Buch.de or Rollenspiele-shop right away, or purchase your CD at your local shop. If you live outside of Germany please refer to Music by Design Ltd. and synSoniq Records. It has been quite a journey for us, and I want to thank all of the people who are interested in our CD and have supported us with kind and helpful
feedback throughout its development. We are very proud of what we have achieved, combining live orchestra music, performed by members of the Prague Symphony and the New York Philharmonic; Nine composers from all over the world who provided us with their own fantastic music, 80 minutes of the finest pieces; and six artists who painted a beautiful 28 pages booklet, telling the story of Merregnon. The work has been intense for everybody. The production required a lot of skill and ambition. (sn)

Amiga Java: Status report from "JAmiga"
The JAmiga project has released a short status report:
"JAmiga status report May 2004
it's been a long time since our last status report and things have become very quiet around JAmiga. However, a lot of work was done in the background. We have meanwhile ported JAmiga so that it can be compiled with gcc which will open up chances to compile it for other platforms. While being a major task, for most users no difference between the StormC and gcc version will be visible.
We are planning to release a new version with the classpath 0.09 fairly soon, once all classpath-changes have been properly reflected within JAmiga. Eventually, you may be able to use a few AWT gadgets by then, but no promise about that :)
New JAmiga Forum
We now have our "own" Forum on www.jamiga.org which may be used for chitchat, discussions, requests, etc.
First donation arrived
Only a few days ago, we have received our first donation -100 EUR- wow. Thank you very much! We have therefore decided to put up bounties for certain tasks....
Bounty for ZIP File reader
This bounty is endowed with EUR 50. It will go to the person that writes a ZIP Reading "JavaStream" class. Please see our Forum or contact us if you're willing to help!
best regards,
Your JAmiga Team"

Computer City: Chance to pick up orders in Essen / Image-Installer V2 production
Although Computer City is not an exhibitor at the Essen OS4 event, we will attend as visitors. Therefore, any orders placed before Friday the 14th can be taken with us (when in stock of course) and picked up at the event. Let's call it the "Computer City Trunk-Sale" :-)
As a sidenote, the Image Installer V2 production has now (finally)
started and all ordered copies are shipping early next week. Of course,
the Image Installer V2 CD and DVD editions can also be ordered and
picked up at the OS4 event, where you will have the possibility for a
'meet and greet' with the Image Installer team themselves!
