Apologies to those in the southern hemisphere where of course it will be their Winter Solstice !




For one week only The Digital Universe 1.5+ is available at a reduced price both as a new version and as an upgrade from the 68k Amiga version. The offer will end Mid-day 12:00 UT on 22nd June.

See

The Solstice Offer Page for more details and to order. Do not use the usual ordering page - unless you really want to pay the normal but higher prices !


A few screenshots of the current work in progress for version 1.7 (which will be a free update to 1.5/1.6) can be seen here.

fao Moderators.

How do I get the fonts big in the titles. It worked fine in the Preview mode but not in the final posting and shows HTML code instead.

The SIZE button seems to do nothing - not with IBrowse anyway.

Just to clarify, the offer does of course still extend to those in the southern hemisphere, just regard it as a winter solstice offer.

Sorry if it was not too clear above.

I was asked on AWN about sending to Australia. This will also apply to the UA and the rest of the world too.

I have checked the prices and it does not add much, not even a full ? UK.

So now anyone in "The Rest of the World" can order a CD if they wish, I have added the appropriate buttons on the Solstice Sale Page to allow for this.

> summer, so probably snow next week :)

Yesterday was glorious, today it really threw it down. Yesterday was summer, today more like winter.

Last year up here in the north of Scotland we did have the best summer as long as I can remember. Even then though at about this time, about a week before mid-summer there was one day I saw a few flecks of snow out of the window. It didn't last long and certainly not settle but snow in June is possible in the northern reaches of the UK. We do have some dreadful weather but last year was on the whole very good apart from that one day.

Today, it was like a torrent but is nice now it is evening and we even had a BBQ yesterday.

The big problem with this time of year is it is daylight - all night, difficult to sleep - and I cannot do any real astronomy so have to programme DU instead.

I don't get that much even in our winter. The gulf stream keeps us a lot warmer than the latitude would suggest. It is still wet and miserable though, even if not getting too cold.

The Summer Solstice Sale finally ended yesterday.

Thanks to all who responded, the interest was actually far better than I had expected. It has certainly persuaded me to definately continue developing Digital Universe for OS4 and beyond.

The web page linked in this thread now has some information about things to come, instead of the previous ordering page. It seemed a better thing to do that just deleting the page. I hope it will be of interest.
