`19.Nov.2003` Redaktion amiga-news.de	Status Quo: Summary about the issues regarding Pretory SA During the last months the French press, among them l'Humanité (1, 2), Les Echos (1) and L'Expansion (1) , reported several times about an insolvency of the American-French company Pretory which is specialized to security services and employed for example security services for the Air France at airports. The reports were claiming Pretory SA (France) was employing a stuff not sufficient trained or with too less proven reliability at the highly sensible area of security. Inofficial sources are talking about wages not beeing paid since May 2003 for about 560 employees. Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco are shareholders and managers of the US company Pretory USA, which subsidiaries Thendic France S.à.r.l. and Thendic Deutschland GmbH are counted as precurors of the Pegasos distributor Genesi S.à.r.l.. Thendic is running a court suit against Aminga Inc. since some time (amiga-news.de reported). In a hearing of the Tribunal of Commerce in Paris last Monday, November the 17th 2003, according to Buck and Velasco at ANN.lu a sentence has been made which declares Pretory S.A. as bancrupt and calls a liquidation manager. Due to that there is now a transfer of Thendic-France S.à.r.l.'s assets to Genesi S.à.r.l. possible. The issues will not affect Genesi in any kind else, Buck told. We will keep on track about all news about this issue and report it here at amiga-news.de and the AMIGAplus. (nba) (Translation: ub) [News message: 19.

Please find the original press release below: Cheyenne Technology Corridor Continues to add High Tech Firms North Las Vegas - Today, the Cheyenne Technology Corridor welcomed another high tech tenant. Genesi USA, a computer systems company, has agreed to terms with Northport, a Jackson Shaw development in the CTC. The company will move into its facility in January. Genesi SARL, a Luxembourg based company, introduced the Pegasos in October 2003. Culminating over five years of development, the Pegasos is a high-performance PowerPC based modular MicroATX mainboard for use in a variety of applications, including desktops, workstations, servers and communications products. Based on industry standards, such as Open Firmware, the Pegasos supports multiple operating systems including varieties of Linux and BSD.

Product details are available at <www.genesi.lu>. Genesi USA will be the focus of US computer assembly operations for Genesi. When asked why Genesi USA chose the CTC as its new home, Paul Adams said, "After evaluating Nevada, Maine, Alabama, Florida and Texas as possible locations, we determined that the best overall business climate was in Southern Nevada. The other states offered many things, including free land for our facility and a year's worth of free rent; but, in the end, the favorable tax structure, the assistance of the City of North Las Vegas and the Community College of Southern Nevada provided a business climate that was much more supportive than anything we had seen in other states." Mike Carroll, Vice President of Development for Jackson-Shaw said, "We are very proud to welcome Genisi USA to Northport. The CTC continues to thrive and add new businesses to the North Las Vegas economy. We look forward to more successes for the CTC." Mike Majewski, who is the Economic Development Director for the City of North Las Vegas said, "It took a community-wide effort to secure Genesi in North Las Vegas, but the potential economic impacts to the CTC and all of Southern Nevada is phenomenal. This partnership between the City, real estate developers, and education was recently honored as the recipient of the Excellence in Economic Development award sponsored by the International Economic Development Council." Through a public/private alliance, the Cheyenne Technology Corridor is bringing more technology businesses to Southern Nevada. The partnership includes the City of North Las Vegas, the Brennan Brothers, Jackson Shaw, RDS/Insight, LLC, Stoltz Management and Harsch Investment Properties. The Cheyenne Technology Corridor is an integrated, accessible and diversified technology district offering advanced systems and infrastructure, state-of-the-art transportation and communication alternatives, and a knowledgeable and experienced workforce.

`15.Nov.2003` ANN (Website)	Court records of the trial Genesi vs. Amiga Inc. chronologically adapted In a still running trial at the court Washington-West in Seattle, USA, has the German Thendic Electronic Components GmbH - respectively Genesi S.à.r.l. as their legal successor they claim to be with reference to the trial about a licence agreement - brought an action on January, 2nd 2003 against Amiga Inc. Sammy Nordström, known as "Samface", has now made for the first time the referring court records - as far as they are publicly available - freely available in chronological order. The lawsuit is all about an OEM licence dated November 2000 in which Amiga Inc. committed themselves against the Thendic Electronic Components GmbH to adapt AmigaDE to their products Cashboy, Mobicash, transponder smart chip readers, Cashboy@Home and WindowsCE terminal (or "Smartboy"). The point at issue here seems to be the second paragraph of appendix A that follows after the product listing that reads as follows: "Thendic has the right with the consent of Amiga at any time to add new products to this list to thereby implicate Amiga's obligations under the Agreement to integrate the Licensed Software into such additional Thendic Products. Amiga will not unreasonably withhold constent to expand the list of Thendic Products." Therefore has Amiga Inc. given Thendic the right to add further Thendic products to this list at any time with the consequence that AmigaDE would have to be adapted to those. Amiga Inc. commits themselves not to unreasonably withhold their consent to the addition of single such further products to Thendic. The question to be solved by the judge may well be whether this OEM licence is valid for the at that time by the formerly Thendic-France S.à.r.l. (now part of the Genesi group) exclusively world wide distributed PowerPC computer Pegasos or whether Amiga Inc. have the right to reject the adaption of AmigaDE to this product. That Genesi S.à.r.l. themselves appeared as a plaintiff is based on the - according to them - possible transferability of the licence agreement as the Thendic Electronic Components GmbH as well as Thendic-France S.à.r.l. and Genesi S.à.r.l. have the same main shareholder, Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck. The court records about this lawsuit have already been made available via the Internet before (as far as they had been publicly available) but to have access there you had to register (for free) at the owner of the site, Rich Woods, and then you received a password. Free accessible had made only chosen documents. Update: (19.12.2017, 23:45, cg) Changed link to the court documents to point to a local copy, since the original website has gone offline a decade ago.
