All people who registered for the bundle with the akNAIL datatype at RegNet
(while I have to admit they weren't that many ;) and miss the keyfile for
akNAIL, please download the latest version of "DeRegNet" from my homepage,
and simply type in the registration code once again...

Mandrake was at Amiga
Mandrake, co-developer of the Window Manager for X (Enlightenment) was invited to a
meeting at Amiga. Here his statement from his website:
Today I, raster, nettwerk, kainx, and chris dibona went over to amiga to have a little chat with Allen
Havemose (VP of Engineering) and Richard Lipes (Director, Multimedia Services) of Amiga. We talked about
a few interesting things. I promised I wouldn't say too much about what they told me on my web site, but
they might be holding a couple of tricks up their sleeve yet. I also got to leave with a bunch of Amiga
paraphanalia - which in and of itself is kinda cool. I don't know what all I can talk about q uite yet,
but I'll find out. They were pretty impressed with enlightenment, which is cool - but we did make sure
they realized it IS only beta (at best) code and we're not anywhere near done with it yet. We'll see
where this goes from here. But I'm pretty excited about maybe working with them on a few things.
This is a repost, the original message had the links screwed up.

Amiga Advisory Council Press Release
»August 6, 1999
San Diego, CA - The Amiga Advisory Council is officially launched today
August 6th, 1999.
The community submitted hundreds of Nominations, and based upon your input
we are pleased to welcome the following members of the Amiga Advisory
Council:
Andrew Elia Ben Vost Bill Panagouleas Cade Hannan
Carsten Schroeder Chris Heereman Christian Kemp Christoph Dietz

The objective of the AAC is to help us better plan the future of Amiga
through close communications with people who are viewed as leaders in the
Amiga community. The members of the AAC have all executed non-disclosure
agreements (NDAs), with Amiga and will have access to confidential
information regarding future products and plans. This allows Amiga to share
sensitive information with respected members of the Amiga community without
having to disclose our plans publicly.
The members of the AAC were selected to represent their different areas of
affiliation within the Amiga community - the Press, Developers,
Dealers/Distributors, and the User Group organizations. The AAC is
designed to provide a flow of information from the Community to the Amiga
management team and from Amiga back to the community. Each of the members
of the AAC will act as a conduit to the community and the areas that they
represent.
We held our first official meetings with the AAC in London and in Sacramento
with over 20 AAC members participate in these first official meetings. The
AAC was able to share with Amiga many of the desires, and needs of the
community. As we work towards the launch of the Next Generation Amiga the
input received by the AAC will help guide those decisions.
"We are excited to welcome the members of the AAC as active representatives
of the Amiga community and look forward to implementing many of the programs
suggested in the near future, stated Jim Collas, "together we will make a
difference in computing forever."

Rainboot 2.65 released / Original Windows98 Bootup for Amiga?
Andreas Falkenhahn writes:
1) Rainboot 2.65 released:
On the Airsoft Softwair website, a new version of the famous multimedia
bootup Rainboot has just been released. For the first time, the new version
offers support for multiple background pics and other new features / improvements.
2) An original Windows98 Bootup for Amiga?
That's possible now, of course simulated only :-) At the Airsoft Softwair website,
the WindowsSimulator Bootconfig for Rainboot has been released. This looks almost 100%
like the Windows98 original (start screen, cycle, desktop, icons, taskbar, sounds).
A Windows98 startup is faked, leading to a rare Exception suggesting to rather use
AmigaOS. The bootup is great for impressing PC friends, at least it worked for me.
Rainboot 2.65 is required, since new features of this version are used.

Dangerous tips for solar eclipse
There are hints going around on internet that you could use a floppy disk
instead of a special eclipse glass for filtering sunlight - which is not
without risk! If you thought about doing so, read the above article by
Chip magazine (German, sorry).

Foundation

Foundation News
Two Foundation products have been announced for this year. First there'll be "Foundation: Directors Cut"
which is a re-release of the original Foundation, containing version 1.25, supporting graphics cards,
gouraud shading and more special effects. Regarding the very low price (£14.99) of the re-release this
is the chance for everyone who "forgot" to buy this game 'til now.
The second one will be "Foundation Edge", which is Foundation, completely rewritten in portable
C++ (which could mean a PPC version of Foundation) and a totally different interface. The
Foundation's Edge Homepage is already
online. More information will be available there by the end of the week.
Update News:
In the next days a new update will be released. Paul Burkey is working on version 1.25, which will
be included on the CD "Foundation: Directors Cut". The support for Foundation and FoundationDC will
be continued.
Paul Burkey answered to an eMail:
>I read with much pleasure, that the development of
> Foundation will go ahead :-). And I am just curios
> for the new Foundation's Edge and I will certainly
> buy it.
Great! You will certainly not have to wait quite so long for this new game to arive! You'll be playing
it for christmas!
> One thing is not clear for me: Have I to buy the
> promised updated or is it free for owners of the
> Foundation-CD? Please answer asap, because I want
> to explain it in the german Amiga News.
The re-release CD, "Foundation: Directors Cut" will be released as soon as possible. I'm currently
compiling the CD myself. It will contain the original game but with the next update (V1.25) already
installed. If you already have the original Foundation CD then you can download the update from the
Foundation Homepage or possibly find it on a PD disk or cover of a Magazine. However the price of
"Foundation: Directors Cut" will be much cheaper than the original Foundation (Probably 50 DM) so for
anyone who doesn`t yet have Foundation, this is an ideal chance to get it.
Foundation's Edge will be a whole new game. More details of both products will be made available in the
next week. Also, you might like to know that Foundation is now published by Epic Marketing (Islona).
This will be announced in the next few days but you are free to publish that information if you wish.
