... A historical moment ... (update)
This evening, on the 20. February, there is a moment for one minute which has been only one time, more than thousand years ago!!
Two minutes after 8 pm we will have the following date:
20:02 20.02.2002
This is a register with a perfect symmetry and is called "Palindrom".
This has been happened at
10:01 10.01.1001
more than thousand years ago. This will not happen any more because the maximal digital marking of a day is 23:59. On 30.03 3003 this will not be possible because we do not have 30 hours!
See you!
Peter Glauser
CEO / Manager
webware.ch GmbH
Addendum:
Lizard has pointed out in a commentar that there is another Palindrom on 21:12 21.12.2112 - but this will still last a while :)

Game: Freespace Update for PPC and 68k
There is now an update for the full version of Freespace available at
www.hyperion-entertainment.com (title link).
We released yesterday an update (both PPC and 68k versions) for the full
version of Freespace. This update adds some new explosion sound effects
to the game, additionally the mouse control and the CD32 Joypad Control
was enhanced. Also the AlphaTexture settings for the Warp3D Renderer of
Freespace are now always configured correctly, so that Voodoo 3 owners
do not need to set the Alpha manually. The update is for download for
registered users of Freespace for AmigaOS. There are two seperate
archives, one for PPC, one for 68k.

Dealer: Turtle Lightning Amiga Software (Texas) goes out of business
Turtle Lightning Amiga Software has been in business since 1992 supplying
Amiga users all over the world with quality affordable software and
hardware.
Owned and operated by Terry Fike out of Midland, Texas, USA, Turtle
Lightning Amiga Software has finally decided to go out of the Amiga
business.
Accordingly, all of our prices are rock-bottom, and when a title sells
out it will be removed from the catalog. Prices are just pennies on the
dollar of the original retail, so get 'em while they last! (ps)

AROS Update from 12.02.2002
Work on the Amiga Research Operating System is making progress. Details of
the most recent development can be found over at the AROS website
(title link). In summary, various bugs all over AROS have been dealt with,
a lot of changes to the underlying framework (the build process) were
introduced, the Palm flavor has been worked on and both minor and major
enhancements have been made (including the long awaited "pci.hidd", which
is meant to communicate with all sorts of hardware within the computer
thru higher level hardware interfaces, such as the brand new "nvidia.hidd"
- although still in a juvenile stage, the "Hardware Independant Device
Driver"-system is expected to grow in the future). (ps)

Amiga Future: New Q2 Screenshots
There are some new Screenshots of our Quake 2 port (which is in the final
stages of developement) available at the interactive section of Amiga
Future (see title link).
This time these screenshots are coming from the "engine modification"
Q2Max. With our port we are optionally adding support for Q2Max.
There will be two executables in our port, one for the "normal"
Quake 2, and one for Q2Max. Q2Max enhanced (among other things)
the particle effects of Quake 2 in a *major* way (the new effects
really remind a bit of Quake 3 IMHO!) There is no big speed loss.
Please note, that Q2Max has quite huge memory requirements - but well,
it is only optionally. You can as well run the "normal" Quake 2
executable. Both executables are included in the port and can be
installed parallely. Both Quake 2 and Q2Max can be played together
in Multiplayer without any problems. Steffen Haeuser.
