AROS World Gift Shop Open for Business.       After a long time I have decided to revive the AROS World Gift Shop. The site is hosted on Cafepress, so all the transactions are secured under their web portal. There is a variety of items to select from with the AROS Kitty and the AROS eye. The small percentage of money that will come from the sales, will go towards AROS development and bounties. If you have any suggestions, ideas or you don't see an item, please feel free to contact me via PM on this site.
Happy shopping and help AROS!!
Icaros Desktop 1.2.1 update has been released   As promised, the first update for Icaros Desktop 1.2 has been released. This update CD includes the most updated system files (up to march 6, 2010 nightly build) and some interesting new features like (still work in progress) 3D hardware acceleration on GeForce 5, 6 and 7 cards (both AGP and PCI Express versions supported), changeable pointers, .backdrop file support for placing icons on the desktop and many, many others.
Please notice that this release won't include new 3rd party software (with the only exception of YAM and some games to test hardware 3D), but will only bring the current ones to their latest versions. So you will enjoy OWB 1.0 RC2, SabreMSN 0.67 and the latest beta of WookieChat. Developers will also find the latest version of AROS development files. This release should fix also some annoying bugs like the Theme prefs wrongly handled on 1.2, while system stability and hardware compatibility has noticeably improved.

We will be announcing the full list of really cool prizes over the next few weeks so stay tuned! I can say that the prizes we have so far are really fantastic!

Distribution of AresOne by Vesalia  Pascal Paparas' AROS-compatible PC "AresOne" is being sold by Vesalia. It contains the software package A-live X which includes a keyfile for the burning application Frying Pan, the text editing software Cinnamon Writer 0.69 and the AROS-distribution IcAros Desktop.
According to Pascal Paparas at least 25% of his profit he will use to develop AROS further. Additionally he tries to make it posible to add Kickstart and Workbench files to the computer. If he will succeed previous buyers of the AresOne will get these files for free.
EDIT: Additionally to AROS, the A-Live X software package, Art Effect 4.0 (68k-Version) and a special OEM version of Amiga Forever are included.
