Miriam 2.0 Homepage reworked
The layout has been reworked by IOM and the screenshot have been shrunk. The main page is now using Javascript.
Miriam 2.0 is a software which controls Lanetco
videosplitt computers like those used in monitor walls. Since the
original software runs under MS-DOS, a software had been especially
developed for the Amiga and used during the Amiga International Inc.
Apparition at the Computer '98 fair. In the meanwhile this software has
been improved and developed further and has now more functionality than
the DOS version. The communication with the splitt computer is also
faster th
an under MS-DOS. So Miriam is an powerful Amiga software which can be
used in professional presentation business.

More details on AMIGA's plans
At Czech Amiga News, Roger Wyatt tells more news from the Amiga show
in St. Louis, USA, according to statements made by AMIGA President Bill
McEwen.
I can remember one statement from the last Executive Update: "If it
is not from our (Amiga Inc.) website, it is not true."
It is quite possible that some details from the Amiga 2K turn out to be
April Fool's jokes, or wishful thinking. However, this cannot be all made
up. Great things are moving, and I really look forward to the official
confirmations on these details... (mb)

Transscript of IRC Conference with Fleecy
Transscript from Harry "Piru" Sintonen
from Finland, who by the way offers many useful tools on his website.
It is astounding how the important messages always come as celebrity numbers.
The Amino / Amiga buyout was (almost) message number 2000 on this site. The last
Executive Update was #2500, and this is #2700. No kidding! ;-) (mb)

Fleecy Moss informs about developer system and plans
+++ AMIGA-aktuell-Special +++
AMIGA Vice President Fleecy Moss has just informed about the Amiga Developer System and the
company's plans on an IRC conference taking place on the Amiga show Amiga 2K taking place
today in St. Louis, USA. The important details folow:
- The Developer System contains an AMD K6 (500 MHz), 64 MB RAM and GeForce 256, which runs
the Tao System very well.
- However only the Virtual Processor is of importance, which already runs on x86, PowerPC,
MIPS, ARM, SH4 and other mega-CPUs which will be announced soon.
- The Developer System currently runs "hosted" on a Linux kernel.
- Tao only provides the core for the new OS.
- The kernel has a size of 25 Kb, the whole OS including GUI and Java needs 3 MB RAM.
- The GUI system is seperated, making it possible to add multiple GUI modules.
- The first GUI model will be very different from today's AmigaOS GUI, but users are free
to create whatever they want.
- The Developer System should be available in two to four weeks, for everyone.
- The end-user system is scheduled for this year.
- Two user groups are targeted: The "digital adventurer" (an expansion of the miga market today)
and those who basically don't like computers (Domestic Digital Habitat).
- The new Amiga website (http://www.amiga.com) will go online in a few days.
- Developer software will be available from a support website.
- Later on, the developer software should run on any PC with the named specifications, but
support will only be offered for those purchasing the system from AMIGA.
- Today, partnerships with multi-billion dollar companies will be announced.
- The Amiga technology will be available for licensing for any company with a good
idea and a little money.
- Today, there will be an announcement concerning AROS (Amiga Replacement OS).
- AMIGA itself is currently not working on an 68k emulation, but is in contact with
several companies willing to take over this job (but for different goals).
Well, I'd like to mention my article
posted a few days ago, for those users who have not read it already and now are disappointed
by this announcement. (And no, I didn't know anything more than a casual reader of the
news and Executive Updates... ;-)) (mb)
