It is now less than a month until PUSH 2006.1 starts. This time we will probably be more people than ever. The price is the same (200 SEK) but we arrange the party over four days (Friday evening to Monday afternoon). Since Monday is May 1st most people are off-work we rented the house for this day aswell.

The party will take place at Wartagården where previous parties have been. It's a good house with everything we need. This time we welcome everyone running anything besides Microsoft Windows(tm). This is no longer a Pegasos/PowerPC-only event.

Pavel Fedin vel Sonic, the author of TCP/IP stack for MorphOS has been interviewed by PPA (Polish Amiga News Portal).

Some MorphOS services will be periodically offline during the next few days due to restructuring of a few machines as well as relocation...

We, the Amiga demogroup IRIS have just released the newest issue of the well-known chartmag 'the Eurochart'. This time we have released it for 6 platforms, and we have some massive content in it.

However, you might be especially interested in the fact that IRIS has now made it possible for any MOS/AOS4 owner to make his own diskmagazine! The diskmag engine can be used freely by anyone wishing to do so, as long as you give out the proper credits.

If you are interested in setting up a MOS/AOS4 electronic magazine, get in touch with Chris Dragan at: chris@dragan.name.

For downloading the Eurochart, go to www.eurochart.dk

There is nothing to worry, 0.4.5 was not crawling with bugs, well at least not with very obvious ones, but we didn't feel like you should wait another long time to get the latest changes. For 0.4.6 we have backported changes from the main tree. In normal terms this means no new features, only a more stable gameplay. It is encouraged to upgrade from 0.4.5, as some issues might also affect you.

OpenTTD is an open source clone of the famous strategy game Transport Tycoon Deluxe for MS-DOS and Windows platforms. Compared to the original this new version is powered up with a lot additional features, f.ex. network play (LAN, Internet) to just name one.
