Move of #AmigaFun IRC-Chats
Stefan Martens:
Today the IRC channel #AmigaFun is moving to a new IRC server network. Phat-Net will hopefully be our permanent home. We decided to take this step because of the problems with Altnet. A year ago the admins promised improvement, but the problems just got worse and worse, especially recently.
On top of that, the Altnet admins were not going to let more than 5 users on the HTML chat, utilized by amiga-news.de and amigafuture.de. At Phat-Net 15 users are allowed, and on request this number may be raised, for example for special events. So there will be fewer problems with the use of the HTML chat. Not to mention that PhatNet has services. Unfortunately I can't control the fact that everyone who has registered a nickname must register it again. This should present only a minor problem though, ask us and we'll be happy to help you with it.
Advantageous to everyone: Phat-Net is a German server, located right in the middle of Germany.
Current entry data for your IRC client:
IRC Server: irc.phat-net.de
Port: 6667
Channel: #amigafun
Windows chatters who don't want to install an IRC client will find on this homepage, since a while ago, a functional IRC Java client. You just have to enter your nickname and you can participate in the chat.
I would like to beg your pardon, if there are still a few problems with the Java/HTML chat. I'll try to keep the downtimes to a minimum. (ps) (Translation: dm)

GFX-BASE: Software 2000 before the Exit?
The Austrian newspaper
Standard.at reported,
that the software firm
Software 2000,
known for Amiga games like Pizza Connection and
Bundesliga Manager stands before the exit.
Unfortunately I can't view the Standard's pages with an Amiga browser; it always crashes. [Doesn't display under IE either -dm]

Tobias Abt - Statement about Picasso96 on Mediator-ML
Tobias Abt, one of the original P96
programmers posted:
"Would there have been proper funding of our work because of licence fees
or at least a steady stream of registrations, we could have provided the
user base with Picasso96 v2 updates and new drivers. But that never
happened, so we concentrate our own efforts to work on projects that
will bring some cash in. Which means better support for Amithlon and OS4.
We will now mainly concentrate on v3 and OS4, so don't expect any more v2
releases."
