Amiga Surfer available!

Bensheim 22.01.96

 

The "AMIGA Surfer" pack will hit the shelves at the end of January 1996.

The "AMIGA Surfer" consists of an Amiga A1200HD multimedia system fitted with 260MB hard drive and two megabytes of RAM, together with a complete suite of Internet software and a 14,400bps modem. The package will be priced at approximately USD 720 (exclusive of VAT). This complete solution from Amiga Technologies is the cheapest available plug & play Internet bundle.

The Amiga A1200 is video-compatible and can be easily connected to a Television set, saving the additional cost of a monitor.

Other Internet options soon to be available from Amiga Technologies include: the "Surfkit", a package consisting of the Internet software suite and modem, at an approximate price of USD 190 (excluding VAT). A package call "Surfware" is also being planned which will provide the Internet software alone.

All packs will include an option to connect to the IBM Internet Link and get 100 hours free connection.

About the Internet Software:

  • MUI3.2: Magic User Interface is an Amiga-OS extension that makes dedicated applications more ergonomic with a friendlier user interface. With MUI, the user can also customise and configure their applications individually.
  • AS 225 R2: A new and completely reworked version of the original AMIGA TCP/IP software is provided. This software handles the connection between the Amiga and the network.
  • Mindwalker: The WWW Browser with MUI-support: A full featured graphical World Wide Web Browser that can handle forms, bookmarks, search functions, hotlinks and many more.
  • AMIRC: The IRC Client with elegant MUI interface, gives access to the "Internet Relay Chat", where one can participate on-line and in real-time to discussion forums. Several thousands of users meet here daily to discuss various topics. Binary files can also be sent among users using AMIRC.
  • AMFTP: The FTP Client also uses the MUI-extension. The graphical interface of AMFTP makes the handling of files and directories from distant servers very effective and comfortable. The program works as a file-manager and gives access to tremendous amounts of Amiga software available on the Internet.
  • Voodoo: The included E-mail manager is a fully new development and supports the "Mime-standard" to send, receive and view graphics and other binary files easily. UU-Encoded binary files are also supported. The advanced user interface of Voodoo helps to handle electronic mail quickly and easily.
The Surfer pack also includes the popular Amiga Magic Bundle's productivity software of a wordprocessor, spreadsheet, database, organiser and graphic tools.
