Music: Inutilis News about Moonlight
Timo Kloss wrote:
There are two new listening patterns of Moonlight. These are about extracts
from the songs "Fallen Angel 2" and "Night", which do NOT originate from
test recordings, but from the original CD versions! This music mainly was
created on an Amiga.
Since I don't have enough web-space, I only can offer two patterns at once.
To enable an overview regardless, the songs will be changed about every second
week.
inutilis.de now has got a new start page containing
an advertising banner, too. You might be right, if you think that inutilis will be
infested with advertising, now, but there will be Moonlight banners on many other
pages in return. So please, forgive me!

Apple puts Power Mac G4 Cube on hold
Apple Press information:
Feldkirchen, Germany, 4. July 2001: Apple will put on hold the production of the
Power Mac G4 Cube for an indefinitely time. Even though there is little
chance to re-introduce this unique computer by an all around renewed model,
there are currently not plans to do so.
"Owners of a Cube love this computer, but most of the customers decided in favour of
a Power Mac G4 mini-tower, instead", said Phil Schiller, vice president, worldwide product
marketing, of Apple.
The Power Mac G4 Cube, only 25% as big as a common PC, represented a completely new class of
computers: the power of a super-computer in a 8-inch-cube hanging inside of a glassy casing.

NEC Corp. uses Boingball
On the website of the NEC Corp. the BoinBall is used as a logo in a shockwave
flash (down right) for an announcement of the 'Permeo Technologies'.
If and how this has to do with Amiga, Inc. or if it is a violation of copyright
is not known to us, but we will clear up things.
Update: The Boingball is replaced by a logo that is similar to the Windows program
"GetRight".

New PC Emulator: First Beta-Version available
Alexander Fritsch wrote:
The first official beta version of a new pc-emulator is now available
for download at the title link. The program emulates an XT with 8086 CPU
and textmode. There are a 68000, 68020 and a PPC-version. Two disc drives
and a harddisk are currently support as imagefiles.
The emulator was tested with TurboC 2.0, Borland C++ 2.0,
Turbo Pascal 5.0, Norton Commander, LHA, ARJ and PKZIP. Topicaly
they are working on the graphic support, at least for CGA-modes.
I have to mention that this emulator is a complete new program and not
just a port of a program existing on another platform. This means that
a further development depends on my own motivation and the interest
of the users. Please feel free to report bugs and indications.

Geography: GeoWorld Status
The following information about the current status of the geography program 'GeoWorld'
is to read on the homepage:
As already announced on the GeoWorld mailing list, we wasn't able to continue development
before two weeks ago, since job-related and complementary obligations took all of my
time for more than a quarter. Sorry!
But now we found a co-worker Kai Stegemann to help with the further development
of the database. More help is always welcome - just send an e-mail to
GeoWorld@bigfoot.com.
Until 15. August 2001 GeoWorld v1.12 is also available from the
Amiga Arena
at the special summer price .
