`28.Sep.2000` Comdirect	Metabox Share Free Falling Metabox, once stock jobber' favourite in the new market, were not able to fulfill their volume announced early this year. One was talking about orders amounting to millions, that time - in fact just declarations of intent by anonymous, but bulk purchasers from foreign countries. After that the Metabox share shot up, and was the favourite of every risk loving investor, all summer. Since several days share is in the red continuous, and today for some time went below -50% after the company from Hildesheim, Germany, released a profit caution. The initial volume forecast of 198 Mio. DM was audited to 70 Mio. DM. At this time the share is at a price of 7,- EUR. Top price was converted into euros (due to share split) 45,80EUR in July. Metabox beside internet boxes for TV-sets also produces G3 boards for the Mac, and had announced an Amiga version of these boards, the "AmiJoe". If AmiJoe ever will be released is doubtful, now.

`28.Sep.2000` Bayona on ANF	Gary Peake: Statement on the AmigaSDK for Windows We have, as our first concern, developers. Developers need to be able to make money or they stop developing for a platform as we have all seen. Windows currently holds 85% of the desktop market. Having said that, envision a run-time environment that is so small you can sell a CD of YOUR applications, games, etc along with this run-time environment and know that it will load and run on Windows, Linux, etc. How valuable is this to a developer? Once the AmigaDE takes hold and as market share increases, then we have even more opportunity for our developers (who are all hungry or should be after a 9 year drought). On the up side, there is this list, where new Linux SDK users may get the assistance they need to remain un-shafted, and Amiga Inc. continues to work and partner with more factions of the Linux and Open Source communities. And our commitment to open source won't waiver. It takes BOTH kinds of development to enhance a platform. -- Gary Peake Director Support Amiga Inc. http://www.amigadev.net http://www.amiga.com [News message: 28.
