AmiBench News
Mark 'tecno' Wilson, the maintainer of AmiBench, the website for international
free small ads, reports in his year summary about the adverse conditions capable to make
a webmaster's life really hard, sometimes. AmiBench was hunted by bad luck last year:
scripts which weren't finished; the service provider got hacked; the server played yoyo;
the web account was closed by mistake; no feedback from the readers; ....
I can comprehend well that such conditions are very annoying and motivation goes to zero sometimes.
Give Mark positive feedback to give his motivation a boost. :)

Elbox Wish Happy New Year
Elbox sent in new year greetings which should not be taken too seriously according to what they stated.
The Not-So-Serious Inside Story Announcement
Crack-off, 31 December 2000
The pi-pi-Castro Task Force is proud to promote the latest technique
of advertising.
The pi-pi Castro Task Force hereby authorise everybody to read
the secrets of their latest technology of collecting money
in advertising and to disclose this secret to enyone on the way:
- We, the world-famous pi-pi Castro Task Force,
produced the world-famous graphic system
for the world-dominant computer platform of the Ah-miga.
Sure, we did some work. Nobody paid us for that :-(
- Then we saw some people get big in the Ah-miga world.
- We thought: "Why don't take money from them?"
- We noticed Err-box produced their hardware (el mediatore).
- Err-box produced their software (the pi-pi driver).
- We did not help them (why should we?)
- So we thought we could ask Err-box for money for using
our world-famous name of pi-pi 96
- Therefore we are world famous. Proved.
- Err-box did not want to pay us.
- We asked other friends to persuade Err-box.
- Franco Mariacchi managed to get computers
and Special-Delusion-Kit documents
from Err-box - FOR FREE!!! Success!!!
- Hi-period managed to get some hardware from Err-box
plus the same paperwork. FOR FREE!!! Success!!!
- We did not manage to get a single pfenig from Err-box.
And we need paper too.
- Franco Mariacchi and Hi-period are laughing at us.
- Therefore we are suckers.
And our friends are laughing at us. Proved.
- Aha. A painting family wants us to pay DM 6,000
for using the "Pi-pi-Castro" name.
- Therefore we wanted Err-box to pay it for us.
- As Err-box are discussing the issue behind the curtain,
and we need cash badly, we demand Ah-miga users
to register our pi-pi system immediately
and pay us for their being happy.
- If nobody pays us, we will cry out
that any other soap-ware worldwide is ill-egg-all.
(Apart from our pi-pi-castro, sure enough.) Proved.
Err-box Komm-puter was happy to find
the appropriate name for this
new method of advertising: the REVERSE ADVERTISING.
Danke mucho, err-boxie.
Please remember that you have to pay us DEM 5.00 or
USD 10.00 every time you use the word "advertising".
The Pi-Pi-Castro Task Force
Courtesy of Err-box Komm-puter
De-pression De-partition-ment
================
There is a popular custom in Poland to make jokes
on colleagues and fellow people in the end of the year,
to summarise the most prevalent features
of their behaviour during the year.
Here is our summary of what has transpired
between the P96 team and ELBOX Computer during that time.
Please take it with a bit of reserve,
as we do not intend to offend anyone,
just to introduce a pinch of humour into the issue,
which seemed to be so tense and serious in the Amiga world.
Happy New Year!!!

ANN Celebrates 4. Birthday
On 28. December 2000 the news service Amiga Network News
by Christian Kemp became 4 years old.
Under the title link Christian first lets the ANN year 2000 pass in review to
have a look into the future afterwards. Looking back he can reference to almost
2 millions registered page views this year with around 50 GB transferred files.
Against the year 1999 with 700 000 page views this is more than a doubling.
