DiscreetFX Founder Interviewed on the DV Show

The following articles have been added to the website of the French Amiga/MorphOS magazine Obligement (http://obligement.free.fr) during the last two months :

If you have a backlog of crunched OCR25 done then you need to submit it now. The effort could end in just 5 days.

Seems that these last stubs have very few permutations and ~6,500,000 of ~26,600,000 packets of stubspace 7 were done yesterday. Read the rest for full details.

The statistics server was offline for 3 days, and it's back now with that shocker.

ACube Systems, designer of the SAM440ep and SAM440ep-FLEX motherboards, producer of Minimig and distributor of AmigaOS 4, confirms also its participation at the Colmar Multimedia EXPO 2008 in North-East of France, the next 24-25-26 October.

The Italian company will present all its products to the visitors on the same stand than RELEC.

Official announcement on ACube Systems web site.
Recall of RELEC announcement.

A new official statement of RELEC (http://www.relec.ch) :

You certainly have just noted it, with the new temporary home page, your distributor of Amiga Software & Hardware "RELEC" is designing a whole new web site. This one gives you already a good idea of the modern and sober look which will qualify our new web portal.

This new site will relate to all the products AmigaNG and Amiga Classic available, but will still link towards the old site (current version) for a certain time. This, in order to benefit from the quantity information accumulated during many years of service !

Still an official statement of RELEC (http://www.relec.ch), your distributor of Amiga Software & Hardware :

The new configuration "TheRedOne" is the fruit of the experiences gained with our first kind of integration, the famous AmigaOne "micro-A1" which has already given you an idea of our personal label.
This configuration enabled us to highlight qualities of the SAM440ep motherboard by ACube Systems (http://www.acube-systems.com) : very low consumption, silence, power and current technology, combined with an extreme integration.

Moreover, "TheRedOne" will be able to follow you everywhere with our concept of protection and transport. Come to visit our offers now : "TheRedOne" and... SAM440ep on http://www.relec.ch/samantha/sam440ep.html !

For Immediate Release

Amiga Seeding the Success Campaign from DiscreetFX


The Amiga computer represents a lot of firsts in the computer industry but it also represents many missed opportunities. Since the death of Commodore in 1994 the Amiga has descended into dark times. They say you learn most from your failures and not your successes and this is most certainly the case when it comes to Amiga. And yet some good things have happened as well.

Here is an announcement of RELEC and Pegasos-Suisse.com :

Since Porter/Duff style image compositing will be part of AmigaOS 4.1, I've decided to try and start a series of articles on the topic. Part one is now up, and can be found here. I want to extend this series in the future, and also go into the programming itself, including sample code.
