19-March-02:	In November 2001 last year, ExoticA held a competition to see who could come up with the best logo for the Intro Page at ExoticA. All entries were judged by XtC, the main ExoticA graphics artist. All the results are now online at the Intro Logo Competition Page. Some days/weeks ago the ExoticA's mirror of the High Voltage SID Collection was updated. This brings it to version 4.5. The collection now contains 18,133 C64 tunes. ExoticA offers the music individually via a simple to use HTML Interface or you can download them all in one large GZIP'd TAR Archive - HVSC.tar.gz. To see whats new you can check out the e-mail announcement text - update30.txt. For more in depth changes, you can refer to the update logs in the DOCUMENTS/ Directory.
20-Feb-02:	Sorry for the lack of updates to this news area. I'm a very busy person :) Updated Scenery (Amiga and C64) to version V1.30 (17th February 2002 release). Scenery is a guide to groups, parties and releases on the c64/Amiga demoscene and features what is likely the biggest, best and most comprehensive scene party index ever made public. It's an attempt to cover an important part of digital history, to accurately document things and events that otherwise might be forgotten. Since the last news entry on the 24th December, the UnExoticA game music section has had at least 10 updates, bringing the archive to 4995 files packed into 1001 archives. Thats 284 meg of music! The entries for the logo competition held last year has been judged, and all entries will be online soon. And last but not least, Happy Birthday to Nickerne, who is 26 today! (And a palindromic date too)
