An Interview with Macro Systems GmbH General Manager, Jorg Sprave. In the many travails of the faithful Amigans, perhaps the current situation is the zenith of confusion. No less than a handful of pretenders to the throne are promising bigger, better, faster...who to believe? Will any of them actually bring a new 'Amiga' to market? Will the real Amiga please stand up? |

Geek Gadgets. The Geek Gadgets Project Documentation. Edition 0.10, last updated 04 October 2000. Generated on 18 December 2000 by various authors, maintained by Steffen Opel, opel@geekgadgets.org. This is a beta Edition still under development; please send comments, contributions, corrections or suggestions to the above address. Because of the hard work from a number of members of the AmigaOS and BeOS communities, we now have a large body of development tools that have been ported to these operating systems and are available in both source and binary form. We will refer to this software set as Geek Gadgets. |

One thing that anyone still using an Amiga has gained over the years is a sense of patience. No matter how tough things get, no matter how much the situation ups and downs, most Amiga users will remain fairly patient in the face of frustrations that would have owners of other platforms cursing and wailing. Yes we do get moments of despair, yes sometimes it does look bleak and you can be forgiven for losing the optimism and thick-skins built up in the post-Commodore years... but then things come along and suddenly everything looks bright again. |

"So the next time you see a space shuttle launch, you can tell your friends which personal computer is rated for mission-critical use in the United States space program." For more than a dozen years, Amiga computers have been hard at work at Cape Canaveral's Hanger AE supporting the launches of every American spacecraft including the space shuttle. (with pictures) |

The Wally Dug articles were written over a period of approximately 18 months for the computer magazine JAM. Generally speaking, there were two types of articles written. Initially, the one-off Guide was written, but towards the end, a special series of articles, Hard Cases, came to the fore. The lists that follow are ordered by date written rather than publication date and will be published at fortnightly intervals. |

I spent some time recently searching for Amiga books to complement this editorial. Back in the Amiga's "golden era" finding books and magazines on the platform was a fairly easy task, though you'd be forgiven for thinking that all Amiga magazines concentrated on games to the detriment of the creative opportunities the platform offered like video, music, desktop publishing or programming. |

The last year of the last decade before 2000 has come and gone, but the Vaporware 1999 "winners" are still a dream to some, and a nightmare to others. Thanks to your enthusiastic email contributions, we've compiled the Bottom 10 list of products that, despite much hype and many promises, have not yet come to pass. (Amiga was #2) |

As 2002 ends, there is a lot of unfinished business in various corners of the tech world. We are referring, of course, to vaporware: hot, must-have products promised but never delivered. Wired News put out a call to readers for the technological wonders they most looked forward to in 2002 but never saw because developers delayed release or, in some cases, abandoned them altogether. Then we tabulated nominations and selected the top 10 -- or should we say bottom 10? -- most-waited-for-in-vain products. (Amiga is #9) |

Amiga's technology partner Tao Group released the latest version of their intent ADK (Application Development Kit) recently. Intent is the core of the new AmigaDE, providing a lightweight, efficient multimedia layer that supports platform independent binaries. Tao's intent, and therefore the AmigaDE, run hosted on a variety of other OSs, providing a wide market and excellent compatibility. |

You have a right to know. You have a right to all the information you need to make an informed choice about any product you buy. The author wrote this article because of the need to give his customers fundamental information about the direction Microsoft wants to take them. Few people have the technical background to understand fully the advantages and disadvantages of software as complex as an operating system. Without fundamental information, it is difficult for non-professionals to understand the advice of professionals. |

It's been a while since I last attended a World of Amiga show. Back in 1999, Gateway were owners of the Amiga and we were in the aftermath of the whole QNX/Linux fiasco when the Amiga Inc. of the time had ditched kernel partner QSSL in favour of Linux. The show then had been huge, spanning a couple of levels in a hotel conference centre. A lot has changed in the last three years, and the WoA of today consisted of a modest hall and the obligatory bar/presentation room. |
