- ---------------------------------------------------
- The "AMIGA Surfer" pack will hit the shelves at the end of January 1996.
-
- The "AMIGA Surfer" consists of an Amiga A1200HD multimedia system fitted
- with 260MB hard drive and two megabytes of RAM, together with a complete
- suite of Internet software and a 14,400bps modem. The package will be
- priced at approximately USD 720 (exclusive of VAT). This complete
- solution from Amiga Technologies is the cheapest available plug & play
- Internet bundle.
-
- The Amiga A1200 is video-compatible and can be easily connected to a
- Television set, saving the additional cost of a monitor.
-
- Other Internet options soon to be available from Amiga Technologies
- include: the "Surfkit", a package consisting of the Internet software
- suite and modem, at an approximate price of USD 190 (excluding VAT). A
- package call "Surfware" is also being planned which will provide the
- Internet software alone.
-
- All packs will include an option to connect to the IBM Internet Link and
- get 100 hours free connection.
-
- About the Internet Software:
-
- MUI3.2: Magic User Interface is an Amiga-OS extension that makes
- dedicated applications more ergonomic with a friendlier user interface.
- With MUI, the user can also customise and configure their applications
- individually.
-
- AS 225 R2: A new and completely reworked version of the original AMIGA
- TCP/IP software is provided. This software handles the connection
- between the Amiga and the network.
-
- Mindwalker: The WWW Browser with MUI-support: A full featured graphical
- World Wide Web Browser that can handle forms, bookmarks, search
- functions, hotlinks and many more.
-
- AMIRC: The IRC Client with elegant MUI interface, gives access to the
- "Internet Relay Chat", where one can participate on-line and in
- real-time to discussion forums. Several thousands of users meet here
- daily to discuss various topics. Binary files can also be sent among
- users using AMIRC.
-
- AMFTP: The FTP Client also uses the MUI-extension. The graphical
- interface of AMFTP makes the handling of files and directories from
- distant servers very effective and comfortable. The program works as a
- file-manager and gives access to tremendous amounts of Amiga software
- available on the Internet.
-
- Voodoo: The included E-mail manager is a fully new development and
- supports the "Mime-standard" to send, receive and view graphics and
- other binary files easily. UU-Encoded binary files are also supported.
- The advanced user interface of Voodoo helps to handle electronic mail
- quickly and easily.
-
- The Surfer pack also includes the popular Amiga Magic Bundle's
- productivity software of a wordprocessor, spreadsheet, database,
- organiser and graphic tools.
