Great show, glad you guys are still making them. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative check out the 3 Euro Acube keyboard stickers. They first showed them at the Vintage Computer Fair. They look very handy as they can be used on any keyboard.

The new AmigaOne branded keyboard is actually a Cherry. CHerry has made keyboards for Commodore Amigas before, but this is their low cost model.
The branded mouse is a Logitec. I was looking forward to buing these before I knew the details, but since I already own some Cherry and Logitec stuff, I am not getting them.
I also followed the discussions on the Boing/Aqua-mouse on a1k.org (the german site). They can´t make these anymore. There were some misunderstandings with the chinese manufacurer, plus they really didn´t plan to sell them, but just wanted to get some for their friends. Otherwise they would have to care about some legal stuff. The look of that thing was really amazing though. It is a real ball swimming in fluid, illuminated by LEDs.
Finally, I wanted to share my postscript printer setup: HP Laserjet 4000N – on the LAN – printing with the LPR-Device on OS 4.1. Works like a charm.
Well i heard the promo at the begin about the ACER aspire one, why do not mention that so far is the best supported netbook (together with the MSI wind u100) from AROS?
Saimon69: You are exactly correct. When Rich chimed in with that spot it caught me off guard
I will be sure to chime in after the spot if Rich is unable to incorporate it into the spot.
Nixe Show!
Just a Note about the Printer stuf.
Morphos comes with netprinter, which allows to Print over Network. There is also a Amiga Version available on the Aminet. Of course the Printer driver problem itself is Not gone, but if you buy/down a Printer with PCL oder Postscript Support, you can simple use ghostscript or in the case of PCL a HP Laserjet driver of your choice.
Keep up the good work! Thanks for the Show!

Damm i should disable German spellchecking when writing in english.

Geit – Thanks for the compliments..keep listening.
I knew there was a way I must try that out. Currently I have an HP Officejet all-in-one and I simply gave up and use rdesktop to print emailed pdfs/googledocs to then send to my printer. Something about it just creeps me out and makes me feel guilty. hehe
I will hit ebay/craigslist and find a cheap Laserjet and try this out. I have been meaning to. This would probably eliminate the use of the x86 almost completely except for Skype.
RE: Geit + german:
Well if we didn’t scare off Jerry on yesterday’s show we at least have a resident german/english translator on staff now. Haha.
Now we just need someone on staff to do our Greek translations (sic. Amiga Hellas) and French (sic. Bitplane) hehe both appear to be great magazines. Ah.. language envy. Maybe I should upgrade my Rosetta Stone software.
No, I did not get scared off, just the opposite.
In effort not to mislead anyone any longer, after all I am a professional Amiga podcast journalist right.
Even though it was a guess – OO Kids is not a Hyperion port (as most of you all know now anyhow) I feel I should clear the air that I misspoke in -guessing- it was a Hyperion project.
The port is from the work of a developer named Eric Bachard. While it is mentioned that Mr. Bachard is professor at a Univ. in which his students are also working on OOo4Kids development, it is assumed that the Amiga OS4 development of OOo4Kids is taken on only by himself and possibly some help of current OS4 devs. not connected to his Univ. class.

Eric was a recipient of a SAM440ep from Trevor Dickinson. Follow progress: http://wiki.ooo4kids.org/index.php/EnvironmentSetup/AmigaOS
-thanks Andreas_Wolf for the links and prompting to correct this inaccuracy-
Sorry for the confusion. I actually forgot about this situation and neglected to ask Rich to correct on show notes for this Episode after it posted and was further corrected.
I was then smacked for this again..which jogged my memory. So here it is..officially corrected shortly.
