DiamondBOX Version 1.10
Nikolaj Kiær Thygesen has created a website for his Amiga painting program
'DiamondBOX' which you can access via the title link. The program is GFX compatible
and requires at least AmigaOS 3.0, 8 MB of RAM, 1 MB free harddisk space, an Amiga
with CPU 68020+, and of course a bit of creativity.

X-CELLENCE News
1.) Changes in staffing level:
Our team now exists of 10 staffers. Rico Pook took over the web design for us and
we would like to cordially welcome him on this occasion.
2.) Domain:
X-CELLENCE at last could take their domain and is reachable under
http://www.x-cellence.de, now.
3.) Cooperative team management:
We separated X-CELLENCE into divisions. Each of the divisions is working on
their project independent from the other teams. This allows maximum of flexibility which
is especially advantageous in the shrinking Amiga market.
4.) Wanted ....
Due to division of X-CELLENCE we are facing a staffing problem. We still are wanting
graphicians and programmers. For those we would prefer people out of the Amiga community.
Graphicians should be familiar with 2D/3D tools on AMIGA and/or PC. They would work in
the divisions "GOLD" and "EAST".
I.e.: "SCR2K" (FunRacer) and "NYN" (3D ActionAdventure Shooter).
We are exclusively wanting programmers for the AmigaDE. The Classic market is no longer
taken into account by us.

Alternative: Sony Vaio with Crusoe-CPU
The Sony notebook Vaio Picturebook/C1VE comes out very innovative:
it's equipped with a Crusoe CPU and an integrated camera and weighs
less than two pounds. Does the notebook worth a price of 4,500DM?
Summary:
This notebook of the Sony C1V line is fast in compared to PDA and quite slow
in compared to a 'real' notebook. But the price for it is placed in the
notebook range where 4,500DM are not any longer a dram, meantime.

"The joke's on our competitors. They're going to feel like it's 1985 all over again!"
Anyone familiar with the original release of the Amiga
