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!

Intel announces Dual-Core-Processor for desktop-computers
Intel has announced a desktop processor with Dual-Core for 2005. The planned Pentium-4-Prescott
successor with codename Tejas will be not produced. The company has not given any statement
if this means the end for the Pentium-4-architecture; but it is more likely that Intel
turns to the Pentium-M-architecture that does not need so much current.
