A-EON: A1222 Early Adopter Programme started
At Christmas, A-EON had announced pre-order registration for the limited edition A1222 Plus Early Adopter motherboard would be possible soon, now it's happening: The announced 'AAA Bundle' can now be ordered at Amigakit for 115 Euros (99 GBP) -
customers of this bundle can optionally request to be enrolled in the A1222 Plus Early Adopter programme and purchase one of the 100 motherboards available. The other initially described option - ordering an 'Early Adopter' motherboard via a 20% deposit - does not seem to be available yet.
Note from the staff: A-EON's Christmas press release lists "Enhancer Software 2.0" as part of the AAA Bundle. But the actual product description at the Amigakit store implies that (only) customers that qualify for the A1222 Early Adopter Programme will recieve a boxed edition of Enhancer 2.0. This way, the contents of the bundle would change depending on the time of purchase, and a customer would have no way of determining if he will recieve Enhancer 2.0 as part of his purchase or not.

Person Contact and Information Manager PerCIMan 0.7
Ulrich Beckers has updated his person contact and information manager PerCIMan which is available for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS (as well as Windows). In version 0.7 a birthday reminder was added.
Editor's note (dr): Please note that the AmigaOS 3.x version requires a graphics card. This is not mentioned in the Aminet readme and on the website of the author you can only conclude it from his line "Other requirements are low: A screen resolution of at least 820x820". In a previous mail to his program to measure times required to motor-react, R²Z, Ulrich Beckers stated that Hollywood programs requires a graphics card by default - except the Plananarame plugin is used. We have asked the author if he still tries to release versions supporting the AGA chipset as well.

The latest Screenbar plugin for Ambient written by #amigazeux can save screenshots and offers a lot of options - e.g. the tool "can grab windows, entire screens or just a freely selectable portion of the screen", "can grab the mouse pointer too" and "can superimpose an editable text over taken screenshots". Additionally the tool includes "a built in paint program" for e.g. "drawing arrows pointing at different things."
