For the last few months, I have been working on a huge upgrade for this website. The goal is to make it more secure, have more features that would help me expand the content and make it a little bit more modern. I am thrilled to announce that the first step is done and more will come.

But what exactly changed?

Maintaining the tradition of Amiga related announcements being made
annually at AmiWest, I would like to, with Bill Borsari of AmiWest, announce the relaunch of IntuitionBase. Earlier this year, Darren "Ryu" Glenn graciously transferred ownership of IntuitionBase to myself.

I would like to warmly welcome all the viewers of the AmiWest 2023 broadcast, as well as in-person AmiWest attendees and all members of the Amiga community.

Hiya!

Just a word to say we are still alive and active.

I am currently posting this from a MacBook 3400c sat in my local Weatherspooons (Public House Chain in the UK).

Keep the dream alive!

Since the announcement of the original Amiga at the Lincoln Center in New York back in 1985, thirty years have now passed. Time has flown by, and yet there are still so many enthusiasts of the platform, its hardware, its follow-ons, and its derivatives. It has lived on throughout the years despite what should have been the end in 1994 with the death of Commodore. And amidst all of the in-fighting, the scams, the noise, and the drama, there still exist thousands of us, still having fun on what we all know to be the most enjoyable computing platform alive.

Brian Deneen with the Sacramento Amiga Computer Club, the main sponsor of the annual AmiWest show, has dropped us a note today to let us know that this year's AmiWest will be held October 16th through October 18th. Marking thirty years of Amiga computing -- and the 18th AmiWest show to date -- this year's get-together will be held at the CalExpo Holiday Inn Express, 2224 Auburn Blvd., in sunny Sacramento, California.

This July 25th marks the 30th anniversary of the unveiling of the Amiga Computer, and a group of dedicated enthusiasts in California are organizing a spectacular celebration to mark it in style. To be held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, starting July 25th, the show will include some of the great luminaries from the Amiga's past and present, including: Dale Luck, Carl Sassenrath, RJ Mical, Dave Needle, Michael Battilana, Colin Proudfoot, Trevor Dickinson, and many others.

Posting on the AOS4 beta tester mailing list, Hyperion legal director Ben Hermans has confirmed that the default judgement against the company was overturned on April 2nd. "This entails that in the eyes of the law the bankruptcy never took place and Hyperion Entertainment CVBA was never in a state of bankruptcy," said Hermans. This ends weeks of speculation over the commercial fate of the developer of the Amiga operating system. The development of AOS4 never halted during this period.

According to Belgian legal site faillissementsdossier.be, Belgian courts declared Hyperion Entertainment CVBA to be bankrupt on the 27th of January. This has since been reported by amiga-news.de and has been the topic of much impassioned discussion on the Amiga forums this weekend. Hyperion legal representative Ben Hermans has stated that the matter resulted from a filing from a third-party and will be 'cleared up' shortly. In Belgium one can appeal to the court and the ruling could be reversed and expunged, which appears to be the plan.
