Spiegel: Kimble on the run
Kim Schmitz, known to the Amiga scene since his "Hacker times", understands it
perfectly to put himself in the limelight in one or another way. This time he
feels abandoned by the German authority of the state and mocked by the press.
He turns disappointed Germany his back with a good bye on
his website.
Spiegel: »Now he's gone. Up and away. Like Graf Zahl from the Sesame Street
with sensation, fireworks and much artificial fog. The most shimmering person of the New
Economy has left the German Republic. «

tecChannel.de: Virus: JS.Gigger.A@mm deletes hard disks
People using a PC next to their amiga should read this (German) article of tecChannel.
According to it there's a new computer virus named 'Gigger' underway that can
have desastrous effects. The virus is written in Javascript and spreads via email
and IRC (Internet Relay Chat).
When the virus comes to work it deletes the contents of all files ending with
.asp, .htm and .html on your hard disk, all that resides is a file with 0 bytes.
Additionally the virus places the command to format the hard disk after a
restart of the computer in the start file "autoexec.bat".

Telepolis: Buried in New Mexiko
According to an investigation of the Telepolis editor Konrad Lischka
had the company Atari bought the computer producer Amiga. In the third last
paragraph it is written that: "After Tramiel had bought Atari the company
concentrated on the home computer market. To enter into the market for
respectable business clients Atari took over the Computer producer Amiga.
This is not correct.
1984: Amiga, then represented by the chief developer Jay Miner (formerly
chief developer of Atari) had in his financial need already got a private credit
from Jack Tramiel (who was the founder of Commodore Business Machines, but then
parted from the company because of differences, and afterwards bought the
clapped-out game console producer Atari). A takeover of Amiga through Atari had
already been negotiated. This takeover was avoided in the last moment through a better
offer by Commodore (remember: Tramiel had already left Commodore)
what led also to a repayment of Jack Tramiels private investment. The takeover
had cost 27 millions dollars. To be looked up in the
History of the
AMIGA.

Magazine: Retro Computing Today
Retro Computing Today - What is the big idea?
There seems to be a growing interest in computers and technology of
yesteryear. With very few publications actually acknowledging this, it
is left to a handful of small magazines to fill the gap, with
profitable publications such as Computer and Video Games dedicating
less than 4 pages to "The Old School". Retro Computing Today aims to
be the one of the first professional publication to cover all topics
regarding this very subject matter, instead of concentrating on one
particular computer or platform, as Commodore Scene does, Retro
Computing Today aims to cover as many topics as there are interests for.
For instance, those people who choose to use a Vic 20 to view web sites
through to the Amiga classic/AmigaOne platform.
Obviously, the more support a particular platform receives, the more of
the magazine will be dedicated to covering it, however, we would hope
to provide some sort of balance, unlike at least 90% of current
publications, whom tend to concentrate on the Windows/XBox platform.
Do you have big ideas yourself?
Details are sketchy at the minute, as the publication is still in early
planning stages. We can confirm the following:
- Launch issue for early May 2002.
- 8 copies a year (1 every 6 weeks). If there is enough demand, we will move
towards 10 copies a year (1 every 5 weeks).
- Website launched soon.
- A sample issue will be available to download.
- Special edition no. 1 will be available to pre-order soon.
So, if you would like to shape this publication, please email me with
your suggestions or comments.
If you would like to write any articles for the launch issue, please forward
them in .txt format, with the subject matter as Submissions 092246. We would
appreciate greatly any help we can get.
Thank you for reading,
Shaun/Retro Computing Today -
retrocomtoday@aol.com.

Amiga Arena: Interview with Grzegorz Tanski (Kray Raytracer)
From the beginning of this year a new freeware "scene" raytraycer is under
development - "Kray".
The Amiga Arena talked to Grzegorz Tanski about why this development was started and
what we may expect for the future. There are other programs and interesting
demo versions of a 3D soccer game on his homepage. As the Amiga Arena came to know,
Grzegorz Tanski really is interested in developing high quality software, if
there is qualified hardware.
