The OpenAladdin4D site has been quiet for a good while due to several things. Initially we ran into a minor glitch with our donation system, which was easily fixed, then...

Katrina hit. We really stopped thinking about Aladdin 4D and we worried about all those people and participated in giving what we could to the people there and the groups that were helping them. Then more storms hit. When we finally did think of Aladdin 4D again, we realized it wasn't a good time to ask for donations on an Open Source project.

Time has passed, we've all done our parts for our fellow people, but now it's time to relaunch.

Even better - we've got news!

APC&TCP is proud to announce the worldwide distribution of MED Soundstudio 2.

Total Amiga magazine ( http://www.totalamiga.org ) is happy to announce a reduction of about 25% in the cost of a 4 issue subscription posted to the USA or Canada. To achieve this we have come to an agreement with Greg Condon, from the PANORAMA Amiga user group of Vancouver, to print a second run of the magazine in Canada.
