The last weeks we have put much time and money into the Amiga Future homepage.
The time has come. Yesterday evening the new page went online.

Amiga Future #67 was shipped using both normal mail and airmail. This lead to the case that the AF arrived within 2 weeks in the USA. Some problems arose during the release of the English edition of the Amiga Future (regular mail) so that we have to face 4 weeks and more for delivery.

Because of that the Amiga Future is going to be shipped via airmail only.

Due to the fact that some issues of the Amiga Future have been sold out in the meantime we have put new full versions for free download on the Amiga Future homepage.

You can download them at: http://download.amigafuture.de
