Subject: AmiWest 2000 Press Release 5
Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 18:26:58 -0700 (PDT)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Petro Tyschtschenko to be at AmiWest 2000!

Petro Tyschtschenko, Managing Director, Amiga International, Inc., has
announced that he will be joining Bill McEwen, President of Amiga, Inc., in
attending AmiWest 2000.

AmiWest 2000 is the west coast all Amiga show which is being produced in
Sacramento, California, at the popular Holiday Inn, Sacramento NorthEast,
5321 Date Avenue Sacramento, CA 95841, on Saturday, July 29th and Sunday,
July 30th, 2000.  The Holiday Inn venue proved to be such a hit for last
year's show that we are again holding it there.

Show times are Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 10am-4pm.

Admission to the show is:

    $ 8 (One Day Pass if paid in advance by July 15, 2000)
    $ 10 (One Day Pass at the door)
    $ 12 (Full Show Pass if paid in advance by July 15, 2000)
    $ 15 (Full Show Pass at the door)

A buffet banquet will be held on Saturday evening, July 29th, with Bill
McEwen as the guest speaker discussing the progress made to date on the new
Amigas.  Banquet tickets must be purchased in advance and are $35 per
plate.  They will NOT be sold on Friday nor Saturday due to the hotel
needing attendance figures for planning the banquet.  Seating is limited
and tickets are available on a first come, first served basis.

A form for ordering tickets can be found on our web page at:

    http://www.sacc.org/amiwest/

AmiWest is in it's third year and is the only all Amiga show produced on
the West Coast.  The show has proved very popular for Amiga enthusiasts in
the Western United States.

You will be able to purchase the recently announced Software Development
Kit (SDK) for the new Amigas at AmiWest 2000.  The SDK is being sold by
several of the exhibitors at the show.

Mr.  McEwen and the re-birth of the new Amigas were recently featured in an
article in the New York Times (June 22).

You can learn more about AmiWest 2000 by accessing our web page at:

This weekend event will again showcase the progress that IS the Amiga
Community.

Dezember 1999 nämlich den Anschein, dass dieses Thema
zu wenige Leute interessiert

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

auf der Web-Seite http://www.freepatents.org wird derzeit ein
Thema behandelt, das moeglicherweise fuer weite Bereiche
der Informatik eine recht hohe Bedeutung besitzt. Ich bitte
Sie daher mit Hinblick auf Ihre berufliche Verantwortung
Ihrem Fach gegenueber, sich auf dieser Web-Seite kurz ein
persoenliches Bild ueber diese Entwicklung zu machen - und
gegebenenfalls darauf entsprechend zu reagieren. Ebenfalls
ersuche ich Sie, diese Information weiter in der Informatiker-
Gemeinde zu verteilen.

Mit freundlichen Gruessen Clemens Cap


PS: *** Um was geht es - auf einen kurzen Nenner gebracht? ***

Sicherlich kennen Sie die Implementierung von Quicksort, bei
der eine Liste von Zeigern zum Sortieren von Objekten
genutzt wird. (5175857) Die Technik, ein Balkendiagramm
zur Darstellung der Laenge von Sitzungen in einem Kalender-
Tool ist Ihnen auch bekannt (5247438) Und die Idee, in einem
Texteditor unterschiedliche Farben einzusetzen, um die
Aenderungen von einer Version auf die naechste zu
markieren, ist Ihnen sicher auch bekannt. (4965765).

Wenn Sie diese und viele andere relativ simple
Programmiertechniken in in eigenen Programmen einsetzen,
so werden Sie in naher Zukunft damit rechnen muessen,
dass Sie Lizenzgebuehren zahlen muessen oder der Inhaber
dieses Patents die weitere Nutzung der von ihm patentierten
Programmidee untersagt. Nur, wenn Sie Ihre Programme
nicht weiter verteilen (ob kommerziell oder als open source
ist gleichgueltig), haben Sie nichts zu befuerchten.

Die oben in Klammern angefuehrten Zahlen sind die US
Patentnummern dieser Ideen. Sehen Sie unter
http://patent.womplex.ibm.com/patquery nach, wenn Sie das
nicht glauben. Dieser Wahnsinn, der in den USA seit einiger
Zeit praktiziert wird, soll nun auch in Europa Methode
werden. Eine entsprechende Entscheidung soll in Europa im
Laufe dieses Jahres gefaellt werden. Die Zeit draengt daher
zum Handeln.

Nach der Meinung von Experten werden nicht nur
europaeische Software- Unternehmen und freie
Programmierer, sondern auch der Bereich der "Open Source"
Software (also LINUX und GNU Software) von dieser
Entwicklung betroffen sein.

*** Danke, dass Sie bis hier her gelesen haben. Sie koennen
sich jetzt wieder Ihren anderen Aktivitaeten zuwenden. Damit
sind Sie dann aber auch fuer die Folgen verantwortlich, die
eine solche Regelung bringen kann. Sie koennen aber auch
beginnen, zu handeln.

*** Was koennen Sie konkret Tun ?

DAS WICHTIGSTE IST, DIESE INFORMATION RASCH
MOEGLICHST WEIT ZU VERBREITEN !! Senden Sie diese
Email weiter, setzen Sie einen Link in Ihre Signature Datei
und plazieren Sie Links auf Ihre Homepage ! NACHLESEN

PRESS RELEASE -
Deutsche Übersetzung von Jens Petersen siehe unten

Alive Mediasoft 15th June 2000

As from today, the following changes are effective:

1. Alive mediasoft is closing it's Amiga retail company with no future plans
to sell software or hardware in the Amiga market.

2. Alive mediasoft will no longer publish games for the Amiga market either.
Current copyright ownerships are being discussed with individual developers
to arrange possible transfer of publishing rights so that the games can
continue to made available to the Amiga public via a third party if the
developer so wishes.  News about individual titles will be announced as we
have it.

3. Ongoing development of games like Elite 3 and Phantasmagoria are again
being worked out with the authors/owners so hopefully we can arrange
continuation of these exciting projects so they do not get dropped out of
sight.  We have had a phenomenal response about our ventures and give our
word to everyone who was anxiously waiting for the release of these games
that we are doing everything in our power to ensure that we find someone to
continue our work.

4. As issue 13 of The Pulse has only been out a few weeks, orders are still
pouring in and we'd like to assure everybody that we're not going anywhere
immediately as there's a lot of work to be done in fulfilling current
orders and pre-orders for our customers, and see that everyone including
customers and developers working for us on royalty basis are sorted
out prior to the final closure of the retail company.

Anyone with outstanding orders will receive their goods during the next
few weeks.  Any items out of stock or that were pre-orders for games due out
shortly will be contacted individually.

As there is obviously much work to be done
our phone lines are often busy or on answer machine.  We can
still be contacted as normal via post or email.

But the news is not all bad....

With the assistance from a third party,  Alive's flagship publication
THE PULSE is to be become it's own entity and be published as a fully
commercial magazine.
We have so many great things lined up for the future issues including the
games  we have exclusives on and the other Amiga companies involved
in backing The Pulse that I would love to ramble on about,
but I should tell you in detail in another mail.

A further press release will be issued separately by The Pulse very shortly
providing full details of the exciting plans lined up for the launch of
issue 14.

We would like to thank everyone who bought games from the Alive retail
company  for their support and dedication over the years, and
say to you not to worry as you're  not going to lose out on your games
chioce as we've secured some great deals within
the trade to ensure that you don't lose the variety we offered.  Watch this
space for details....


THANKYOU

Pressemitteilung von Alive Mediasoft.

Vom heutigen Tag an greifen die folgenden Änderungen:

1. Alive Mediasoft schließt sein Amiga-Einzelhandelsunternehmen und hat keinerlei
Absichten mehr, in Zukunft noch Soft- oder Hardware auf dem Amiga-Markt zu
verkaufen.

2. Alive Mediasoft veröffentlicht außerdem keine Spiele mehr für den Amiga-Markt.
Die derzeitig in unserem Besitz befindlichen Rechte an Copyrights werden gerade mit
den jeweiligen Entwicklern diskutiert, um eine mögliche Weitergabe der Rechte an
interessierte Drittfirmen möglich zu machen und so eine Veröffentlichung nach den
Wünschen der Entwickler zu gewährleisten. News über die einzelnen Titel werden von
uns schnellstmöglich bekannt gegeben.

3. Die weitere Entwicklung von Spielen wie Elite 3 und Phantasmagoria wird zurzeit
mit den Autoren und Rechteinhabern erörtert, so dass wir hoffentlich eine
Fortführung dieser aufregenden Projekte auf den Weg bringen können und diese nicht
unter den Tisch fallen. Wir haben eine riesige Resonanz auf unsere Projekte
erhalten und geben jedem, der ungeduldig auf diese Spiele wartet, unser Wort
darauf, dass wir alles in unserer Macht stehende tun, um sicher zu stellen, dass
wir jemanden finden, der unsere Arbeit fortsetzt.

4. Seit einigen Wochen ist Ausgabe 13 von "The Pulse" auf dem Markt; Die
Bestellungen strömen nach wie vor und wir versichern allen, dass wir keineswegs in
irgendeiner Weise überstürzt handeln, weil es eine Menge zu tun gibt, die
eingegangenen Bestellungen und Vorbestellungen unserer Kunden zu erfüllen und weil
wir sowohl unsere Kunden als auch die auf Honorarbasis für uns tätigen Entwickler
vor der endgültigen Schließung des Einzelhandelsbereichs zufrieden stellen wollen.
Alle Besteller werden ihre Waren in den nächsten paar Wochen erhalten. Alle
Besteller von Waren, die zurzeit nicht vorrätig waren oder von Spielen, deren
Release bereits angekündigt war, werden individuell benachrichtigt.

Da zurzeit offenkundig sehr viel zu tun ist, sind unsere Telefone häufig besetzt
oder die Anrufbeantworter eingeschaltet. Wir sind aber nach wie vor per Post oder
email erreichbar.

Aber wir haben nicht nur schlechte Neuigkeiten...

Mit Hilfe einer Drittfirma ist Alives führendes Medium, "The Pulse" auf dem Wege zu
seiner eigenen Identität und wird als eigenständiges, kommerzielles Magazin
erscheinen. Wir haben eine solche Menge großer Dinge für die kommenden Ausgaben in
Planung, etwa die Spiele, für die wir die Exklusivrechte besitzen, oder mit den
anderen Amiga-Unternehmen, die uns unterstützen wollen, dass ich große Lust hätte,
viel mehr zu erzählen, aber darüber gibt's mehr in einer anderen Mail.

In Kürze wird es eine weitere Pressemitteilung von "The Pulse" geben, in der wir
mehr über die aufregenden Details rund um Ausgabe 14 verraten werden. Wir möchten
uns bei allen für ihre Unterstützung und Anteilnahme bedanken, die über die Jahre
Spiele bei der Alive Einzelhandelsgesellschaft gekauft haben, und ihnen sagen, dass
sie sich keine Sorgen zu machen brauchen, weil wir einige großartige Deals
ausgehandelt haben, um sicher zu stellen, dass die Vielfalt, die wir angeboten
haben, nicht verloren geht. Informiert euch an dieser Stelle über weitere
Details...

DANKE SCHÖN

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
 Lots of interesting news from Amiga this time around. We have the
latest Executive Update for you, in its entirety, as this didn't seem
to be long enough to force a synopsis. The breadth of Amiga's activi-
ties and the direction behind them look very encouraging to us so far.
 The folks behind Cybergraphx have a new version of their premier
Amiga graphics manager available. We don't have a story for you, as
they've not sent out press releases as far as we know, and they have
some pretty restrictive policies on their web site. Accordingly, we're
just going to let you know in this manner and suggest you check out
their web site if interested. Try http://www.vgr.com/v4/ for more de-
tails.
 We do have plenty of other good information for you below, including
a chance to get a free Amiga 2000 if you're so inclined. Read on!

E-mail to the E-ditor:

Only one letter this time, but it's most interesting! Here it is:

"May 05, 2000

 We have an Amiga 2000 with an IBM bridgeboard, keyboard, assorted
software and don't know what to do with it, besides giving it to the
local Children's Museum for dismantling.

 Would you know any aficionados that would like to have this ma-
chine---------free of course.
 Pat"

 The generous person who wrote the above letter is Pat Hammond (we'll
break our rule about using correspondents' last names in this case to
give Pat proper credit). What we thought we'd do is collect requests
from readers who are interested in this machine, and who'll really use
it. We'll put all the names in an Amiga hat and pull one out. Then
we'll put that reader in contact with Pat by sending the reader's
e-mail address to Pat. By submitting your name to the drawing, you
agree to have us pass your name and e-mail on, of course. Then it's up
the reader and Pat to determine the best way to proceed from there.
 Sounds like a good plan to us, so drop us a line at

amigaupdate@globaldialog.com and we'll take it from there. We'll ac-
cept e-mails with "posted" dates up to midnight, Central Standard Time
(USA), June 30.

 Executive Update May 30,2000

 Friends:

 Many people have been writing to me recently, reminding me that there
has been very little activity as far as site updates go. While this is
not intended as the official Executive Update, I just want to make
sure everyone knew that there has, in fact, been a great deal of ac-
tivity going on at Amiga since the Amiga 2k show in Saint Louis a few
months ago. As usual, there are things that we aren't ready to dis-
cuss, but never mistake our silence for being "asleep.

 Officially you can watch the Amiga.com site for the new Executive Up-
date, new developer and application information, as well as several
other updates which will be posted on June 3rd, 2000 {see below}.

 In the next Update, you can expect to see much more information and
details about our immediate plans than this message will have. While
we could have waited another week or so to post the next Update, I
thought the community needed to hear from us, to let you know what we
can at the moment, and to ask you to be patient, just a little bit
longer.

 One critical area that needs to be addressed right now today is the
Amiga name, trademarks, logos, and intellectual properties. Many of
you have sent me notes asking us to take action against those who are
making illegal copies of our software, using our name without permis-
sion, and the distributing our intellectual property without our
knowledge and consent.

 While this might seem negative for many, it is imperative that Amiga
properly and legally defend our trademarks and intellectual property.
To be blunt and to the point, if you are using the Amiga name, Amiga
logos, or distributing our intellectual property without a license,
you must cease and desist these actions immediately. Amiga Incorpo-
rated owns the aforementioned items and all rights contained therein.

 We understand that many of you have worked very hard to maintain a
community, the spirit, and all we know Amiga as today. Unfortunately,
there are many people, sites, and even companies out there who are us-
ing the Amiga name in a detrimental fashion, and in negative ways.
Some have even sought to use the Amiga name to further their own goals
and products. Because of this and because international trademark laws
mandate it, we must make sure that anyone using our name, logos, or
trademarks in any fashion is properly licensed by us.

 Okay, now that we've said that, here's the Amiga SDK (Software
Developers' Kit)!

 On April 1st, 2000, at the Amiga 2k show, Amiga Inc. announced the
developer box and our partnership with the TAO group in England. To be
quite honest, the number of developers who approached us at the show
and shortly thereafter wanting to purchase the Software Development
Kit (SDK) separately from the hardware to run on your own machines
took us completely by surprise.

 Well, we listened and in only a few days will be releasing to manu-
facture the new Amiga SDK.

 More information will be on the site the weekend of June 3rd.

 Please note that the SDK will sell for $99 U.S.. The SDK will be
available from your Amiga retailer, and other sources soon-to-be an-
nounced.

 Things really are happening at Amiga, there are new applications, new
employees, new partnerships, and new products.

 The year 2000 truly is going to be a very exciting time. I look for-
ward to meeting with many of you over the coming months at the differ-
ent trade shows, different events, by phone, by fax, and by e-mail. I
can promise you that with the release of the SDK you'll begin to see
Amiga get much more aggressive and move much faster towards the fu-
ture.

 Thank you again for your continued support, and make sure to check
the Amiga.com site the weekend of June 3rd.

 Sincerely,
Bill McEwen, and the rest of the Amiga team.

         S O F T W A R E   D E V E L O P E R S '   K I T

June 3, 2000, Snoqualmie, WA - Amiga announces the release of the
Amiga Software Developers Kit, the first new product to introduce the
next generation Amiga platform.

 The Amiga Software Developers Kit provides the initial tools and ex-
amples for developers to create exciting multi-media content for mul-
tiple devices and computing environments. The unique strength of the
New Amiga comes from the partnership with the Tao Group in Reading En-
gland providing a foundation where developers are able to take advan-
tage of a ubiquitous computing environment.

 In 1984 Amiga established what is know today as multi-media. As a re-
sult of this, Amiga systems are used around the world by leading film
studios, animators, and in mission critical applications. Using this
as the foundation, the Amiga is moving forward by creating multi-media
for numerous devices and computing environments in the home, in the
office and beyond.

 The Amiga OS is capable of being self-hosted, and sitting on top of
other operating systems. A single application is capable of running on
X86, Power PC, M.core, ARM, StrongArm, MIPs, SH3/4, and others. In a
hosted environment the new Amiga runs on versions of Linux, Windows
95,98/NT, Windows CE, OS/9, QNX4, and others to be announced.

 The new OS also embraces the Java language in a new, powerful and
compliant way. The intent Java Technology Edition from Tao is world
renowned for its speed and compact execution of Java applications.
With the new environment, developers will be able to take advantage of
both Java, and portable assembler coding.

 "Today we take the first step towards the future," said Bill McEwen,
President/CEO of Amiga, Inc. "The new Amiga SDK provides an envi-
ronment where the best developers in the world can build exciting ap-
plications, that can transcend hardware limitations. Today Amiga de-
velopers can be joined by Linux and Java developers in an environment
that provides the foundation for the delivery of future content."

 "Tao has been talking for some time now about our developments to
create Digital Heaven(TM) and we see Amiga and its community as a fun-
damental part of the new order that can make it happen and take an in-
dustry lead. With the sheer tenacity and the many qualities of McEwen
and his Amiga team, the world is going to see Amiga as a Premier Brand
for connected digital appliances," said Francis Charig Chairman of the
Tao-Group.

 For the developer, the new SDK creates a single environment that is
scalable from handheld devices, such as cell phones upwards New ver-
sions of the kit later in the year will introduce many new media fea-
tures. Both the current and future versions will enable compact, high
performance and robust media solutions to be used across a broad range
of devices using identical binaries..

 The New Amiga SDK is available through local retailers for $99.00,
and from the Amiga web site, Amazon.com and other sources available
soon. A version via a Japanese distributor will be announced shortly.

 About Amiga:
Amiga Incorporated is dedicated to creating a multi-media operating
environment, enabling developers and users to experience a new level
of enjoyment.

 As it was in the early 80s, Amiga is ready to introduce the next
level of computing.

            A M I G A   -   E Y E T E C H   D E A L

 June 6, 2000 - Snoqualmie, WA USA - Amiga Inc. of Snoqualmie, WA is
pleased to announce a strategic relationship with Eyetech Group Ltd.
of Stokesley, North Yorkshire, UK to manufacture the first release of
the Next Generation Amiga Development Machines and to distribute these
in Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland.

 This will no doubt come as welcome news to the British Amiga commu-
nity who have long enjoyed an excellent relationship with Eyetech.

 Eyetech is well known as a leading supporter of Amiga - and the Amiga
Community - of great integrity. Eyetech's involvement in the Amiga
market dates back to 1993.

 Amiga and Eyetech both share a vision and strategy to re-establish
the next generation Amiga Operating Environment as the leading multi-
media hardware-independent delivery platform for the year 2000 and be-
yond. Both companies believe that this strategy will return Amiga to
its rightful position as a leader in multimedia computing, and thereby
redeliver the recognition and pride back to the loyal Amiga community
that has waved the flag over these last 15 years.

 Our relationship with long time company Chairman, Alan Redhouse,
proves that Eyetech has a firm belief in our product, our company, and
our community. Of particular interest to both Amiga and the community
is Eyetechs EZTower Mk5 which networks together - in a single tower
system - both an A1200 (with optional PPC/BVision) with a next genera-
tion Amiga Development Machine and the Amiga SDK. "The reputation of
Eyetech as well as their ability to offer such a high quality and
wide-ranging choice to the Amiga community in the form of both the EZ-
Tower Mk5 and the EZDev-Plus - Eyetech's stand-alone DevBox - is un-
precedented. We wholeheartedly support Alan and his team at Eyetech
and join the community in welcoming Eyetech to the Amiga future." said
Randall Hughes, Vice President Sales and Strategic Alliances at Amiga.

 Alan Redhouse commented: "I am delighted that Eyetech has been chosen
as Amiga's partner to help UK companies and individuals take advantage
of porting and developing applications under the new Amiga Operating
Environment. We will of course continue to service and support Classic
Amiga users Worldwide from the 5000 square feet (500 square meters) of
warehouse space dedicated to Amiga products here at our UK base.

 "The Classic Amiga also forms the basis of our Multimedia Presenta-
tion and Kiosk systems as its tightly integrated, purpose-designed
preemptive multitasking, multimedia-centric operating system allows us
to achieve levels of performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness
which cannot even be approached on a PC-based system. We are now look-
ing forward to developing new, high-performance multimedia products
around the new generation Amiga Operating Environment, as well as pro-
viding continued support for our existing commercial and leisure cus-
tomers."

 Eyetech's developer platforms for the new generation Amiga Operating
Environment will be officially released on 1st June 2000. The product
portfolio will include EZTower Mk 5 based integrated systems, upgrade
kits for existing EZTower users and the stand-alone EZDev-Plus system.
All systems will ship with Eyetech's 5-click Amiga - Linux networking
software, specially tailored for the new Amiga Operating Environment.

years and are pleased that our belief in this world-class software has
been fully justified. I expect that Tao's software will have a major
presence in the consumer and professional space for many years."

 Hiroshi Saito, Director and General Manager at Fujitsu Aichi Engi-
neering stated that "Fujitsu AEL strongly endorses Tao's technology
because its Java and multimedia simply make it the best in its class."

 "Cadence Design Services and Tao are working closely together to
bring integrated technology and design service solutions, leveraging
Tao's intent JTE (Java Technology Edition) product, to the global em-
bedded market" said Brent Hudson, vice president and general manager
of Cadence's Wireless and Multimedia Design Group. "intent combines
superb performance with small memory footprint, and is ideally suited
to the rapidly growing digital TV market, an area in which we have
built significant expertise, and where Java compliance is a vital com-
ponent."

 "It's so good to be able to talk about a breakthrough technology that
really does provide what the market needs and also actually exists,"
said Tetsuya Hikino, Managing Director, NEC Electronics (UK) Limited,
"the capabilities of Tao's software are stunning and I'm sure it will
proliferate globally in Multimedia and Internet-based devices."

 According to Huw Price-Stephens, Technical Director at Yes Televi-
sion, a leading provider of interactive television products and ser-
vices, "Java compliance is a critical requirement to enable broadcast-
ers and content providers to guarantee interoperability across mul-
tiple platforms. Yes Television is a strong supporter of Java technol-
ogy and is pleased to be able to take advantage of Tao's unique and
compliant JVM implementation."

 Martyn Gilbert, Chief Executive of Amino Communications said, "While
Amino's hardware developments have revolutionized the way that custom
Internet appliances are now being created, Tao has achieved much the
same with its software media capabilities. We've looked at the market
very closely to make sure that we offer our customers the very best
from top to bottom, and Tao is so far advanced beyond any competition
that it requires a double take just to believe it!"

 "This announcement further establishes Java technology as the devel-
opment platform of choice for smart devices," stated Jaison Dolvane,
President and CEO of Espial. "Tao and Espial have been working to-
gether to provide a superior and comprehensive smart-device solution,
complete with multimedia capabilities, the Java language, a universal
service-management platform, core Internet applications and develop-
ment tools. Combined with Tao's superior multimedia and Java virtual
machine technologies, Espial will soon provide its customers with com-
plete and robust solutions for the TV, wireless, auto, gaming and In-
ternet-appliance markets."

 "By combining high performance with a small memory footprint, intent
addresses the demanding requirements of next-generation appliances
based on the QNX® 4 Realtime OS," said Linda Campbell, vice president
of strategic alliances at QNX Software Systems. "Together, QNX and in-
tent offer developers a solution that is at once reliable, open, and
media-rich."

 Mr. Norizaku Suzuki, President of ASCII Corporation in Japan said,
"ASCII helped sponsor this program and we've watched it develop with
great admiration. Tao's technology has so much value-add that's criti-
cal to the consumer electronics manufacturers, broadcasters, operators
and consumers, and we believe the mass proliferation of intent is in-
evitable."

 Yasuhiro Kawashima, President of WebLogic, said, "We and Tao are
looking to further differentiate the wonderful intent Java multimedia
products with the introduction of WebLogic's value-added, hardware ac-
celeration. An inexpensive, super-fast and Java-compliant multimedia
solution is something everyone should be happy about."

 "We have had nothing but complete support from Sun. Its openness is
refreshing," said Francis Charig, Chairman of Tao Group. "I think the
model that they have developed, which encourages companies like Tao to
add value to their standard offerings, is very successful. Tao has
been able to add technologies to help with the binary portability, to
advance memory usage, to bring in new, high value, garbage collection
techniques and customization and many unique features while maintain-
ing the critical compatibility to the Java specification. Most sig-
nificant though is that we are driving forward the digital appliance
market utilizing high performance, multimedia Java based applica-
tions."

plications out onto Internet appliances and mobile wireless devices,"
said Bruce Scott, president and CEO, Pointbase. "All of these applica-
tions will require advanced data management and synchronization tech-
nology to meet the needs of users on a global scale. Our involvement
with Espial and Devicetop.com in this initiative will result in help-
ing developers create and deploy the cross-platform data management
facilities needed for the wave of distributed mobile applications we
see emerging over the next few years."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Preliminary list of exhibitors at AmiWest 2000 announced!

A prliminary list of companies and clubs that are either participating
in or exhibiting at AmiWest 2000 has been posted on our web page at
http://www.sacc.org/amiwest/

AmiWest 2000 is the west coast all Amiga show which is being produced
in Sacramento, California, at the popular Holiday Inn, Sacramento
NorthEast, 5321 Date Avenue Sacramento, CA 95841, on Saturday, July
29th and Sunday, July 30th, 2000.  The Holiday Inn venue proved to be
such a hit for last year's show that we are again holding it there.

Show times are Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 10am-4pm.

AmiWest is in it's third year and is the only all Amiga show produced
on the West Coast.  The show has proved very popular for Amiga enthu-
siasts in the Western United States.

This preliminary list of exhibitors includes AEMail, which produces an
email client for the Amiga; Amiga, Inc., the producers of the Amiga;
AntiGravity, which makes the BoXer; AudioLabs, producers of stunning
audio software for the Amiga; Compuquick Media Center, an Amiga dealer
coming all the way from Ohio; FWD Computing, selling CD-ROMS for the
Amiga; G & G Publications, producers of "The New Amigans" Amiga publi-
cation; Hyperion Entertainment Software, producing game software for
the Amiga; Merlanica Industries, another Amiga dealer coming from Ari-
zona; Nordic Global Inc., developers of the "Miami" and "Miami Deluxe"
TCP/IP stack software for the Amiga; Nova Designs, Inc., makers of
"ImageFX" (image processing software) and "Aladdin 4D" (3-D rendering
software); the Sacramento Amiga Computer Club (SACC); and the User
Group Network (UGN), the world-wide Amiga network of user groups which
will be conducting an IRC directly from the AmiWest 2000 show floor.

We are adding new exhibitors daily.  Watch our web site for the latest
updates.

If you are interested in exhibiting at AmiWest 2000, please submit the
form that is provided on our web page.  We need to know early who will
be exhibiting.  Booth sizes and pricing are now posted.  Special booth
pricing will be available for user groups.

In April at the A2K show in St.  Louis, the newly reorganized Amiga,
Inc announced many advances in the three short months since the pur-
chase of the Amiga by Amino (renamed Amiga, Inc.) from Gateway.  The
Amiga appears to have a new life that is definately on an upswing.
The new Amiga Corporation is headed by Bill McEwen who can be remem-
bered by participants at both AmiWest'98 and AmiWest'99 as a very en-
thusiastic supporter of the Amiga. Also part of the Amiga team are
long time Amigans Fleecy Moss and Petro Tyschtschenko.

Strategic alliances have been formed with such well known names in the
computing world as Tao-Group, Red Hat, and Corel.  In addition part-
nerships have been formed with well known Amiga companies such as
Haage & Partner, Hyperion, and Epic Marketing. All of these companies
will be producing software for the new Amigas.

After what has transpired in three months, four more months should
bring many more announcements from Amiga, Inc.  at AmiWest 2000.

You can learn more about AmiWest 2000 by accessing our web page at:

    http://www.sacc.org/amiwest/

This weekend event will again showcase the progress that IS the Amiga
Community.

Atlanta, GA - May 15th, 2000 - A2K 15-year anniversary celebration
cancelled.

Amiga:2000 - Which one?  No, not the one in St. Louis; No, not
the one in Sacramento; No, not the World of Amiga show either; Nope,
not even the show in Canada or even Ohio.

The one that was supposed to be in Atlanta.  Confused?  You're
not alone.

Amiga2K, Amiga:2000, Amiga Y2k, A2k, A2000, and so on, were all nomen-
clatures to represent shows and events for this year.  It wasn't
coordinated in a fashion that allowed the public to easily identify
which show was what.  Toss in the mass amount of havoc over the last
year of who owned the rights to Amiga, what vapor were supposed to be
released, what shows they were going to be at, etc., and you have a
terrible mess.

Even though we announced first, and made it clear to other show orga-
nizers and to Amiga themselves, it was to no avail.  Unfortunately,
other shows scheduled within days of ours, even with our announcement
showing our dates -long- before others shows were starting to get or-
ganized.  This caused vendors and attendees to have to choose between
yearly shows or our once-in-a-lifetime show.  To further complicate
things, some people thought that the show was to be last year and con-
fused it with AmiWest'99. Add one more source of chaos when Amiga, Inc
(the current incarnation),removed all references of this show from
their shows list on their web page. Without their support or vendor
support and confusion of shows dividing the support from the Amiga
community, it made a show of this caliber impossible.

We'd like to thank all of those kind souls that put our banner on
their web pages.  Special thanks goes to those who were working with
us to try to make the financial situation work, up to wanting to do-
nate their own money with ours to make it happen, unfortunately it
wasn't enough.  Great thanks and appreciation go to those who said
that they were going to attend and bring their memories and special
items to show.

Stockholm, Sweden - Sunday, May 14, 2000.

The 1999 USA AAA Awards were presented at the Amiga 2k show in St.
Louis, April 1-2 2000. The first USA AAA Awards went to Kermit Woodall
(Community)and SoftLogik Publishing (Product). Please accept our sin-
cere apologies for this late announcement.

We hope to provide you with photo coverage of the event soon, avail-
able at www.aaa-awards.org/winners/1999.php.

The Community award

The AAA Award USA - Community 1999 went to Kermit Woodall of Nova De-
sign. He was selected the greatest 1999 US Amiga personality by the US
Amiga community in the public voting.
The motivation given was:

     "For being an inspiration to the US Amiga community, with never
     failing commitment, by attending shows, involvement in
     initiatives such as ICOA and the AAC, and always giving
     appreciated support to the community and dealers."

The Product Award

This year also marked the launching of the first Product awards. The
AAA Award USA - Product 1999 went to SoftLogik Publishing, represented
by owner Deron Kazmaier. Their DTP package PageStream 4 was selected
the best US Amiga product!
The exact motivation given by the jury was:

     "Best product released for the Amiga, and certainly the best
     publishing package available in it's price performance class.
     SoftLogik has been a rock in the Amiga community, developing good
     products like PageStream for many years. It is without doubt that
     Amiga would not be able to hold even the position it does today,
     without products like PageStream 4."

Still to come...

...is the AAA Award International, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom!
Please check our homepage www.aaa-awards.org for up-to-date informa-
tion on where & when.

Titan and Hyperion are pleased to announce that they will be bringing
"Alien Nations" ("Die Völker") to the Amiga after Titan succesfully
negotiated a license for an Amiga port from the Austrian developer Jo-
wood

Alien Nations is a real-time strategy game in the vein of "The Set-
tlers", which was enthusiastically received by the German speaking
public and press. The game is set on an alien planet inhabited by
three very distinct races: the Pimmons, the Amazons and the Sajikis
and features campaigns consisting of 10 single player missions per
race, set against a giant 3D back-drop. Resource-management, diplo-
macy, research, commerce and battle are key to success. The Amiga ver-
sion will most likely require a graphics card and will support PPC ac-
celerators through WarpOS although the feasibility of a 68060 version
will be examined. Optional 3D acceleration will be supported through
Warp3D. Release is expected during Q3 of 2000.

"We are very pleased to be able to extend our Amiga line-up to include
a RTS-game.", says Ben Hermans, managing partner of Hyperion. "With
this deal, our relationship with Titan has entered a new stage, with
Titan acquiring the license for Mac and Amiga and Hyperion doing the
actual Amiga port. It's a model we hope to repeat in the future."

More information on Alien Nations coming soon.

 Crystal Software and Electronics took over Amiga Survivor magazine in
good  faith  We had hoped that Amiga companies, distributors and Amiga
themselves  would take an interest in a magazine with hundreds of sub-
scribers and  potentially thousands of readers.
 I was so saddened by the lack of response from businesses that I
considered pulling out of the Amiga market, but the reaction from
eaders has been absolutely tremendous. I want to thank all the exist-
ing and new  readers for your wonderful support.
 Anyone can produce a tatty magazine and sell it for nothing. Anyone
can  claim to have thousands of readers. The commitment of CS&E to
high quality  goods means that we have decided to delay Amiga Survivor
until August in an  attempt to secure some other sources of support
for the magazine to run as an independent publication. 40 pages on A5
have been produced for the first issue but it will not be published
without any support. If the Amiga community wants an independent maga-
zine then it has to support those who are doing their best to deliver.
We could of course just fill it with CS&E adverts but that is not the
aim of Amiga Survivor and its crew. The magazine was sold to us in the
first place due to the financial burden on the original editor/owner.
 Companies are advised that they can send review items to the usual
CS&E address and can get in touch to distribute or advertise from as
little asJune 11, 2000 £95 per page inclusive of VAT and a free AS sub-
scription.
     I apologise to our readers for the delay.
