CU Amiga close. After reading through the CU FAQ, I can see their current profitability was just not good enough to maintain their magazine and they did not want to lower its value to remain in production. AmigaNews Almost at the same moment, Bruce Lepper, the publisher of AmigaNews in France, announced that he would also be forced to quit. Bruce's position was 6 AMAZING CoMPU1'1NG slightly different than AmigaNews. He was not the world's largest Amiga magazine, he was just the big Amiga magazine of France. He was not trying to keep a large staff employed, he was doing the work all by himself, After a year of this and with little relief or improvement corning soon, AmigaNews had to make the decision to stop production. There are bright spots! Not everything in the Amiga is down. Some companies and organizations have good news. Even as this issue was going to press, I received the following three releases. lmageFX 3.2 Upgrade! Nova Design has announced a version 3.2 upgrade to lmageFX! According to company execs, this release has eliminated virtually all previous problems while adding new features such as more support for BMP, JPEG image file subformats, and images saved from Brilliance! They have also included new ARexx commands and ImageFX now supports pressure in the airbrush painting tool of pressure sensitive tablets. Amiga First Aid Paxtron has announced an Amiga Survival Kit or what they have coined, First Aid for your Amiga- With Amiga service centers and repair parts becoming harder to find, Paxtron has created survival kits for C64, ASOO, A2000, A3000 and A4000. These kits contain popular replacement chips. Paxtron claims that each kit corrects 90% of all Amiga failures, which includes up to 28 symptoms.
