Short News From 1st of June, 1999 there is a Message Board at the site. For everyone who knows what IRC is, it won´t cause too much trouble to use. On the message board always the 50 latest messages are present, in timeline order, from the top to the bottom - so the freshest messages are always on the top. If you want to leave a message then press "submit new message", give your nickname and your message, and press the submit button. In case you are on the banlist for some reason (the cgi will notify you, when submitting message) you can ask removal at the emeric@abakusz.matav.hu addy. * * * SpaceHawks´ WorldNews from now on is the member of the Amiga Ring, as you´ve probably noticed by the banner at the bottom of the titlepage. * * * The website of the AMIGAonly has been updated, now with an advertising and message cgi. You can now on record your personal advertisements (buy/sell wares etc.) here, leaving your e-mail or telephone number. The CGI has been created by LouiSe of AMIGAonly. Hopefully it will replace the advertisement function of the #amigahu topic, so it can be used for much more worthy causes... (Like storing the worldnews url there, and so...-Emeric SH) * * * The voting engine is available from now on at the WorldNews site. The queries are changing regularly, and votes immediately changes the results, as you can see on the small graphs. Everyone has only one chance to vote, so always think it over... All statistics of previous polls will be recorded. * * * Here is the circus, the biggest in the land, come along, come along, see the big parade...! Here is your long awaited dream coming true, just before your very eyes...! http://www.pronet.hu/dabutton/ . The page, with the big red button, which does nothing... No excuses, everyone has to visit this site - there is everything you can dream of: nice background, and the huge red button...! * * * The WebSite of the AmigaRuleZ is operational from now. With this achievment AmigaRuleZ is the second hungarian paperback Amiga magazine, which has a website - and we are looking forward to take a look at the website of the remaining Amiga Világ. The page of AmigaRuleZ is mostly in under construction state, the graphics for example have been created between breakfast and teeth washing... The address is: http://www.extra.hu/amigarulez. * * * There is a pile of Picasso drivers in the making for the Amiga, and there are discussions about porting the Sorenson codec into the well known avi/mov player, Moovid by pH03N1x. If we can believe to the rumours, there will be a Picasso driver for the video card of PC bridge boards (after the sound card, connecting to the floppy port, there´s nothing, what can make me surprised though), and following the CGX AGA, there will be a Picasso AGA driver too. As pH03N1x told us, like his Savage driver for the ShapeShifter, it will support 16 bit via a HAM8 conversion routine - which is still an unique, unrivalled feature. The release of a Picasso AGA driver should be exciting, as in the case the two graphic systems are on the same platform and in the same environment, so it should be easy to test, that which one is the faster, more stable and the better of the two. (Maybe there will be a Picasso driver for the BVision and CVision boards...?) * * * Our main aim with Short News is to gather and accumulate local information on any Amiga, and community related topics. The main structure is very similar to the WorldNews itself - the freshest news are always on the top, and on every occasion, when Short News will be updated, it will also be placed at the top of the actual article list. You will find such news here, of which it´s very hard to write a complete and long article, but which are worth to be mentioned. The Staff
