County Court Cologne confirms "Explorer"-Dissuasiveness against Heise
«In the quarrel about the use of the "Explorer" term the county court Cologne
confirmed their dissuasiveness against the Verlag Heinz Heise by a just pronounced judgement.
The publishing house will immediately appeal to this not so surprising judgement by the
county court Cologne, and they intent on having better chances of success at the next
instance, especially at the background of the recently "Explorer"-decision in Duesseldorf.
Furthermore the Verlag Heinz Heise in the meantime applied at the German office for
patents and trademarks the erease of the disputed trademark "Explorer".»

fxSCAN SE No Longer Part of ScanQuix 5
RBM decided some time ago not to purchase serial numbers for fxSCAN SE versions
from us, any longer. As a result of this the at this time delivered and long before
produced ScanQuix CDs admittedly come with fxSCAN SE, but without a serial number
cause RBM no longer owns a license for these. Due to this we beg you to refrain from
asking us for free serial numbers, cause these were not payed by RBM and will not
be deliverd by us afterwards. Because of that fxSCAN from now only can be purchased
as a full version. Please, refrain from using serial numbers from other people, cause
this would be unlawful.

New Version of InstallerNG
On the "Official InstallerNG Site" there is a new version for the
well known Installer replacement, the InstallerNG, available for
free download. A number of small bugs were fixed, and a new function
was added. Attention: the support for MEDIA functions basing on
datatype still is under development and therefore might be buggy.
Furthermore the example scripts were worked over, and the manual was
adapted.

Haage & Partner Reachable Again
During works on the company building telephone line was damaged. Due to this from Thursday to Monday
H&P wasn't fully reachable, and most of all they could not receive e-mails. Now everything
is working again and H&P now has a DSL connection, too.
H&P used the "free time" to do some changes of their homepage. Impressum, copyright, and data secureness
are new sections accessible via text links in the footer. Many other pages have been overworked and
updated, e.g. most of the FAQ pages giving answers to frequently asked questions.
On the start page of the shop from now on is to find the bargain of the week.

Metabox Share Free Falling
Metabox, once stock jobber' favourite in the new market, were not able to fulfill
their volume announced early this year.
One was talking about orders amounting to millions, that time - in fact just
declarations of intent by anonymous, but bulk purchasers from foreign countries.
After that the Metabox share shot up, and was the favourite of every risk loving
investor, all summer.
Since several days share is in the red continuous, and today for some time went below -50%
after the company from Hildesheim, Germany, released a profit caution. The initial
volume forecast of 198 Mio. DM was audited to 70 Mio. DM. At this time the share is
at a price of 7,- EUR. Top price was converted into euros (due to share split)
45,80EUR in July.
Metabox beside internet boxes for TV-sets also produces G3 boards for the Mac,
and had announced an Amiga version of these boards, the "AmiJoe". If AmiJoe
ever will be released is doubtful, now.

KDH-Datentechnick
|
Business Plays Trickily ;-)
Selling of both, Amiga soft and hardware is stagnating - that's nothing new.
But new is an idea of KDH-Datentechnik to bridge this depression in trade with
party-gags. What is being offered? This things ist called "Orgasmatron", looks
like a big beater, and should knead the scalp catering for unstressing, and
a sense of well-being.
"Hushes while waiting for PPC boards, new Amiga games, PCI boards, AmigaOne, etc.",
concludes KDH - what at least is evident for the proper portion of humor they own.

Gary Peake: Statement on the AmigaSDK for Windows
We have, as our first concern, developers. Developers need to be able to
make money or they stop developing for a platform as we have all seen.
Windows currently holds 85% of the desktop market.
Having said that, envision a run-time environment that is so small you can
sell a CD of YOUR applications, games, etc along with this run-time
environment and know that it will load and run on Windows, Linux, etc.
How valuable is this to a developer?
Once the AmigaDE takes hold and as market share increases, then we have
even more opportunity for our developers (who are all hungry or should be
after a 9 year drought).
On the up side, there is this list, where new Linux SDK users may get
the assistance they need to remain un-shafted, and Amiga Inc.
continues to work and partner with more factions of the Linux and Open
Source communities.
And our commitment to open source won't waiver. It takes BOTH kinds of
development to enhance a platform.
