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.

Computer Connection has updated its Amiga web site. We have been stockpiling mostly used software and hardware for the classic Amiga.

People asked me to set up a page with a donation button for my AmigaOS 4.0 porting projects.

I decided to make it a page where i collect all the ports i've done. I will also blog about ongoing ports and stuff so if you want to keep up, check in from time to time!

So here's that page and that donation button, put it to good use! ;)

ATM just a small fraction of my ports are added to the database, but it will grow every day, and when it's complete, I'll start posting about interesting things.

The AROS Show has interviewed the famous Amiga artist, Eric Schwartz. Eric discusses his recent "Still Alive" animation, plus his other projects.

We intend to release many new products for the Amiga this year. Because of this we need some more space.
That's why we decided to reduce many of our products in price. For example Pinball Brain Damage for just 5,- Euro or the DigiBoosterPro AddOn CD for only 4,- Euro.
The APC&TCP Classix are only 9,90 Euro and SeaSide just 3,- Euro.
