Top News im September 2001Marathon 2.0 (18.09.2001 - 13:15 Uhr)Mit Marathon 2.0 steht nun seit Version 1.7 eine neue, in vielen Punkten verbesserte Version des E-Mail-Clients aus dem Draconis-Paket zur Verfügung. In diese Version wurden zahlreiche Wünsche der Anwender integriert, damit Marathon 2.0 mehr ist als ein einfacher E-Mail-Client. Hinzugekommen sind vor allem Funktionen, um die Archivierung und Verwaltung von Nachrichten noch komfortabler und einfacher zu gestalten. Aber auch an neuen Funktionen wurde nicht gespart. Damit sind nun viele der Features auch auf dem Atari verfügbar, die es bisher nur auf PC und Mac gab. So können nun z.B. alle Nachrichten in einer Baumstruktur verwaltet werden, wie das auch bisher schon bei manch anderen Mail-Programm üblich war. Durch die Verschachtelung von Ordnern, Unterordnern und Postfächern ist es möglich sich eine geordnete Ablage zur organisieren. Außerdem können in der Baumstruktur nun "Identitäten" verwaltet werden. Damit können Sie sich verschiedene Konfigurationsprofile erzeugen. Dieses kann für die Erstellung von verschiedenen Konfigurationen für einen Anbieter aber auch in verschiedensten Konfiguration für verschiedene Anbieter gelten. Um das oftmals aufwändige Heraussuchen von Empfängeradressen zu umgehen, wurde dem Editor außerdem eine Auto-Vervollständigungs-Funktion gegönnt. Es werden also bei der Eingabe automatisch Vorschläge gemacht. So reicht es oftmals, die ersten Buchstaben der E-Mail-Adresse einzugeben, und der weitere Teil wird automatisch ergänzt. Dies war nur eine kleine Zusammenfassung der gebotenen Möglichkeiten. Details und Screenshots finden Sie auf der Marathon-Webseite. https://web.archive.org/web/20011006065513/http://draconis.atari.org/draconis/mara2/index.htm (tr) More News im September 2001Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4Update for links.atari.org (11.09.2001 - 05:10 Uhr)The extensive links collection "links.atari.org" by Benjamin Kirchheim has undergone an extensive update.

(tr) (tr) MyAtari September 2001 (09.09.2001 - 05:10 Uhr)The British online magazine MyAtari is now completely online with its September issue. Some articles have been added, e.g. the first part of the portfolio story. By the way, st-computer has entered into an official partnership with the British to publish interesting articles in German as well. (tr) (tr) 1 million VCS cartridges (08.09.2001 - 08:10 Uhr)
Over 1 million (!!!) originally packaged cartridges for the classic consoles Atari VCS 2600 and VCS 7800 are in the inventory of the new online mail order company "ClassicAtari.com". This is the purchase of the entire stock that Atari sold in 1991 when it liquidated its own inventory - at that time a total of 2.3 million cartridges. A total of 30 different titles are currently available. They are sold at a price of only 2 US dollars each. This should ensure a supply for years to come. The new website of the American company is also an experience. There are pictures of the huge warehouse, reports in the media about ClassicAtari.com and a collection of Atari commercials from the 80s in QuickTime® format. From October, Atari T-shirts will also be available for order here. (tr) (tr) Atari Program Exchange (08.09.2001 - 07:10 Uhr)

(tr) Google is the best search engine (05.09.2001 - 07:10 Uhr)Google is currently the best search engine on the net. Google found the right answer to ten test questions ten times. It is followed by Altavista, Lycos and Metager with nine hits. Stiftung Warentest tested 20 search engines and catalogues. Thirteen are only adequate, one is poor. The weak point of most search engines: the results are wrongly weighted. More than half of the hits displayed had nothing whatsoever to do with the topic searched for. (tr) (tr) Atari classics for mobile phone (05.09.2001 - 07:10 Uhr)As reported by ZD Net News, the Manchester/England based company "iFone Ltd" is planning to publish classic Atari games for mobile phones. The programs are to use the Java standard. Up to 6 games are to be released in September, which are to be downloadable from the net for about 50 pence each. Perhaps we will soon be able to enjoy classics like Pong, Space Invaders and Centipede on our way to work on the metro? (tr) (tr) MyAtari issue 09-2001 (05.09.2001 - 07:10 Uhr)The British online magazine MyAtari published its September issue. The selection of topics is again very diverse.

(tr) The History of Videogames (05.09.2001 - 01:10 Uhr)
The history of video games has been the subject of many authors and magazines. Now a new book is being published in English that promises a visual journey through the golden age of videogames: "Supercade: A Visual History of the Videogame Age" by Val Burnham deals with the pioneering period from 1971-1984. It can be pre-ordered now at Amazon.com for the price of US-$ 34.96 (instead of US-$ 49.95) so that delivery from 09 September is not missed. It goes without saying that a certain Atari company is sufficiently appreciated. A great present for all fans and classic gamers. (tr) (tr) PDF printer driver for Calamus (04.09.2001 - 10:10 Uhr)
(tr) Private internet usage while working (04.09.2001 - 10:10 Uhr)Whoever does not surf the internet from his workplace for more than 100 hours a year may not be dismissed without further ado. This has now been decided by the Wesel labour court (ref.: 5 Ca 4021/00). Employers have to impose the ban in any case and may not terminate the employment contract without prior warning. (tr) (tr) |

Both extensions require Calamus SL2000. (tr)
