From: Giorgio Signori yurex@tin.it To: team@amiga-news.de Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 17:20:16 +0200 Subject: Softwave Announces a new CD based Amiga Magazine For Immediate Release Napoli, Italy, 25 October 1999 Web Site: http://www.skylink.it/ear Dear Amigans, My name is Giorgio Signori, and I am the director of Softwave, a new company born in Italy this summer. I have been writing on the only Italian Amiga magazine, Enigma Amiga Run, in the past years, and I am in Amiga environment since years. After years writing for Amiga, I decided to build up a new company to publish an Amiga-only, CD-based magazine. After a lot of work, at the Amiga show Softwave was there with the first issue of Amiga.it, showed during the conference with Petro Tyschtschenko. After this, we decided to publish Amiga.it, under the name Amiga.news, also outside Italy. We put much effort in this, translating, for now, the whole magazine in English. We will show and sell the first issue of Amiga.news at the next Home Electronics World of Cologne, on 12-14 November. We hope that the public response will be enough to convince us to keep doing a multi-language magazine also for the next issues. If so, since the 3rd issue, we will translate it also in German, as many of you already requested. In the next days in the site www.skylink.it/ear will be published the summary of the first issue. But now, some of the highlights of Amiga.news: The magazine part count many important writers here in Italy. Editors like ing. Massimo Gais, system administrator of the Italian Aminet node and of the Astronomic Observatory of Naples, like ing. Alessio Cappelli, expert in Amiga and NetBSD environments. People like Massimo Marino, writer for the biggest selling videogames magazine in Italy, The Games Machine, and Nick Mordock, experienced Amiga writer since years. Not to mention Andrea Favini, the 3000+ staff and Laura Falzone, writers of proved experience. The CD part of Amiga.news differs from what we are used to see on the market. it will not be a simple shareware collection. Of course it will contain the recent shareware software from month to month, with index and search function, but it will be thematic. The first issue of Amiga.it, published only in Italian, had Linux as theme of the month, with a RedHatPPC distribution and a serie of articles dedicated to installation of Linux, but not only. Every month a different theme will fill the CD. I can anticipate that on the issue that will be presented at Cologne, there will be a much requested Linux68k/RedHat68 distribution, and a special on Star Wars on Amiga. I am available for every question, I will be happy to give all the answers you may need, if you are a user or an Amiga distributor/reseller. You can find me at the mailbox yurex@tin.it.
