Very Computer

A very reliable contact of MagiC online has informed us of some very
interesting "rumors". The first one? It is a strong possibility that MagiC
version 7 will have built-in networking support and that a TCP/IP shared
lib. is now in final beta. Below you will find an agreeable quote from the
informant:
"Can you imagine MagiC with a built in IConnect compatible stack, and shared
libraries that makes writing clients very easy? :-))))..... this means the
end for MiNT/freeMinT/N-AES and other crap."

High End Webbrowser in the works? (Dec 4)

It's has been speculated for awhile now that ASH is working on a
"CAB-Replacement" web browser that is to be fast and boast many modern
features. Recently, some information has came out that suggests that this is
exactly what ASH is doing, as they need to put a "browser in their catalog
ASAP."
The interesting aspect is that these recent rumors say that BOTH the
Brothers Behne (NVDI) and the two K's (MagiC) are working together on this
product! This is really something to watch out for.

MagiCMac now friends with OS 9! (Dec 3)

Finally, ASH has released a patch to update MagiC Mac 6.x to a state of OS 9
compatibility. Previously, OS 9 would only work together with MagiC Mac if
they were ran on older Macintoshes that had the ROM hard coded. (this
excluded every recent Macintosh, including the original and current
iMacs/G4's)
The update is free of charge and can be downloaded from the link below.

articles were rather interesting

MiNT-Net can readily use most BSD/Linux/Unix sources out there,
with almost no patching required, since LIB 0.54.  Somehow, I'd
really doubt that iConnect will ever provide this immediate way
of porting outside material.

Things like this makes me seriously considering leaving the Atari world
for good.

Hi Paul

I assume you had something more to say than just requote Bengy's Post>

Later Brian.

Yup, by damnit. I want to sell my Falcon040 right now, burn my NAES
disk, and run down to Staples and buy a brand new `puter with Win 2000.
NOT!
I guess I am going to have to install MagiC and see what it is
everyone is pissing and moaning about. I already know what they DON'T
know about MiNT :)
