JACK 4.0 (MUI) NOW AVAILABLE
*************************************

News fromdjrikki

At long last the wait is over. I am pleased to announce the release of Jack 4.0. Jack is a multi-purpose commodity for AmigaOS, AROS and MorphOS.

The AmigaOS version can be downloaded from www.os4depot.net, versions for AROS and MorphOS will appear in the next few days.

If you're eager to download straightaway, then please remember to check the 'Upload' queue on OS4Depot first.

Jack 4.0 has been completely written from the ground-up. Bye-bye to the custom interface - Jack now fully embraces MUI.

MAIN FEATURES:

* Comprehensive AmigaOS App-Store piggy-backing onto the already brilliant
OS4Depot.net. Includes integrated Arexx Support for developers

* Donate easily to your favourite AmigaOS third-party developers

* Quick access to AmigaOS Preferences

* Screen snapshooter

* AmigaOS Knowledge Base

* Image Editor, includes Batch-image processing

* Speedy access to all your connected devices

* Support for Push4Dock - quick access to your Documents, Images, Music and
more...

* Quick Access to WordNet - Thesaurus

* Open your files in Helper Applications

* Integrated Weather Forecast for any location in the world

* In-built file-search

* Currency-Converter

* Quick Filer access, opens two instances in one simple click

* Access Popular Amiga websites quickly and easily from the Dashboard

Be sure to read the known bugs and limitations mentioned in the documentation.

Jack 4.0 fully takes advantage of MUI Royale 1.0, however a few limitations have been identified in the documentation, and Andreas (of Hollywood fame) is working hard to resolve them. I can in turn update Jack itself when this is complete .

I hope you enjoy the new release of Jack.

SYSTEM 3 REVEALS 'PUTTY SQUAD'
RETURN TO MARK 30TH ANNIVERSARY
*************************************

Source of information unkown?! Although I copied the text below from Digital Spy.

System 3 has announced the return of Putty Squad.

The company will revive the 1992 Amiga game as part of the celebrations of its 30th anniversary. The platformer's graphics have received a complete overhaul, free downloadable levels are planned, and location-based services will be on offer addingxtra content.

"Working on such a prestigious title again - and to bring it up-to-date - brings back many great memories. Fans of the original are [going to be]
excited to get their hands on the return of the morphing blue blob hero," said System 3 CEO Mark Cale.

"Putty Squad will be available on multiple platforms, where gamers can reconnect with their classic hero, discovering Putty unlike before."

The game will be released on PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, PC,
Wii U and Nintendo 3DS in the summer. Sadly a new Amiga version is not part of the celebration. But if your a big Putty fan and own one of the mentioned systems you should get some fun out of the new release.

'ULTIMATE NERD CHICK' PROMPTS C64
CLONE CANCELLATION
Project Bread Bin... binned
*************************************

A damning tweet from one Jeri Ellsworth, described by a Register reader as
"the ultimate Commodore 64 nerd chick", has put the mockers on Project Bread Bin, one retro-tech fan's dream to build a cut-price Commodore 64-compatible computer in a keyboard case.

www.theregister.co.uk/2013/05/10/ellsworth_tweet_prompts_bread_bin_cancell ation/

C64 fan Daniel Biehl called out to the crowd to request $150,000 to fund the device's development.

COMMODORE FREE NOTE: From what I read, Jeri thought the project was a 'scam', and it seems that Daniel hadn't thought the project through to the extent of figuring out the costing for the project. He denies the project was a swindle, and The Register article suggests that enthusiasm can get ahead of a
project's rationale.
