Its Time for a New Amiga Magazine - Its Time for Amiga.org Magazine

[Warface]

I was in hospital having a tumour removed from my stomach and then sleeping it off.

Hey Miffy, hope you recover soon! It's pretty dull outside without the harmless little bunny :-)

Yoodoo: After my previous posting: I have now been skimmign thru 3
last issues that are available as PDF:s... In the end. I like the
magazine, on avaregely there are couple pages not so interesting stuff
(putting it in politely) but many of the articles like DTP and Image
editing tutorials looks really good.

And to make this all good. I decided to order latest and previous one
(15 and 16) of Total Amiga Magazine.

Good idea Kees.

Why are you shouting bias ? for something no one has read you people must be fortune tellers or blindly attacking for no reason at all.

@ paul_Gadd

I edited your post alittle ..   :-D

[MarkTime]

Thank goodness for Amiga.Org magazine, I guess this means I can cancel my subsciption to Total Amiga magazine.

FINALLY!  better late than never, they should really apologize to the tree's who sacrificed their existance for that worthless collection of tripe.

[Paul_Gadd]

Ah ok, i thought it was Keys not Kees  :-D

I also like the idea of a "Linux section" (sounds like an operation!!) as, I suspect quite a few of us A1'ers will probably end up dual booting.

Yuck, no, please no linux.  It has no place in an Amiga mag - get Linux Format if you want to read about that sort of thing.

@ Lando,
  Why shouldn`t linux be covered ? It`s an OS that can run on both the A1 and the Peg. I`m sure there`s quiet a lot that could be written about the PPC specific side of things, especially seeing as most Linux mags I`ve read always ####ume you`re using an x86 machine.
 Things like what are the best distros, how to optimize for PPC..

*edit* Methinks the profanity checker doesn`t like the word  a-s-s-u-m-e   :-P

Now this is some great news!!! I just hope to see the issue 0 as a PDF so those of us that cant make the show will have it to read!! Fantastic job! Keep up the good work!

Is there enough material fo 572 pages of new content a year? Will you be using a really big font and double spacing? :-) Are you going to produce it on Amiga's? If so, I have a professional type Amiga desktop publishing program and a giant stack of updates and fonts disks to sell you. ;-)

BTW, I've seen you in flesh dude, and you don't look anything like that avatar.

Let's face it, if he did Amiga North Thames User Group would probably have much higher attendances. ;-)

[weirdami]

put everything through a spellchecker

Have a human proof read everything instead. Electronic spell checkers don't work with homonyms.

Is the "Amiga" part only A1 or is it for Classic Amigas, too?

[lempkee]

Amiga should be Amiga....

dont see how they shall fill over 15pages a month with a1 news only...

Maybe that's 'cause a55ume makes an a55 of u and me  ;-)

Regarding the mag, cool! The logo looks quite a lot like CU Amiga's.

Why shouldn`t linux be covered ? It`s an OS that can run on both the A1 and the Peg.

Just a personal thing.  I don't like it (I installed it on my PC back when the AmigaDE SDK was released).  It's not Amiga-related, there is reams of Linux information and dedicated mags available elsewhere if you need it, and the space could be better used elsewhere.  

If you want to extend the magazine to cover all OS's that can potentially run on Amiga/Peg hardware then you'd have a Linux68k/LinuxApus section, LinuxPPC section, Mac OSX section, Mac OS8/9 section, AmigaOS section, MorphOS section, AROS section, and then there's the dozen or so OS's in the process of being ported to Pegasos... Heck you can even run Windows if you want using VirtualPC or Bochs.  

I would just prefer it if the mag kept to covering OS's that are actually Amiga-compatible (MOS, AOS, Aros...) as this is what I'm interested in (and I guess most others too) :-)
