While reading http://www.derstandard.at I came across a story about an US teacher, who took a students Linux CD away and declared Linux as illegal and Windows the “only way to go”.

This story is just so damn hilarious that I want to share it with everyone. Now click the link below read and be amused or shocked! 😉

Dear visitors,

We wanted to celebrate the 5000th newspost of 2008 with you here at PDRoms, but we greatly managed to miss this 🙂 So we just make it 5555 now, which is also not correct anymore, as there are currently more than 5600 news .

Of course PDRoms would be nothing without the homebrew scene and all the hard working guys, who spend their free time to create demos, games, applications or just write articles on how things should go. So here comes a BIG THANK YOU DEVELOPERS.

And of course… THANK YOU for reading and following 🙂 May there be another thousands of news 😀

Regards
Kojote & Team

PS: Feel free to spread the word about our great news service and our marvellous download archive 😀

Dear visitors,

We have to make important changes to the PDRoms database today. This will probably last from the early morning hours till the late evening.

Along with the database change there will be MINOR fixes to public and defective functions.

Thanks for your understanding!

Kojote, kedo & celeth.

Many productions released on the demoscene are made for more than one platform. A smart move since you can reach a bigger audience this way. But what is needed to do this and what are the differences if any?

Magic interviewed Xeron and Marq, both known for creating multi platform ports.
