Amiga-News.de asked developers and programmers for a little anecdote for an advent calendar. So from December 1st until Christmas in sometimes shorter, sometimes longer texts you will read about their Amiga beginnings, first successes and experiences from their creative wealth and little incidents to smile or even to think about. And of course also one, maybe two ;) MorphOS developers are involved. A big thank you to all who participated!

There's an interesting MorphOS related poll about the next generation Amigas at:

The poll is open until September 30th.

As you may know, popular site AlternativeTo.net helps searching for software alternatives. For instance - when you switch from Windows to Linux, you can easily check what is a free Microsoft Word alternative for that operating system.

Starting from today, the service also supports AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS operating systems. You can complete the software directory with your favourite items. Building such a database will allow simple alternatives searching for incoming and current Amiga users. It will also help to choose the most rated Amiga software from particular category.

Follow this link to submit your favourite software, but you can also view already submitted items for AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS.

Please help spreading the word and completing the database with Amiga software!

Thank you!
