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

In April at the A2K show in St. Louis, the newly reorganized Amiga, Inc announced many advances in the three short months since the purchase 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 remembered by participants at both AmiWest'98 and AmiWest'99 as a very enthusiastic 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 partnerships 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.
