Editor's Thoughts and Introduction: Happy New Year everyone! Some of you will see this on the last day of 1999, some on the first of 2000 - either way, you have another reason to celebrate today! We've been waiting and practically twitching to get this information to you. We still don't have a press release directly from Amino, but as the following information is now available generally on the wire, we owe it to our readers to get it to you as quickly as possible. If we do get a press release from Amino/Amiga we'll also get that to you right away. Looks to us like both Gateway and the Amiga Community win with this deal. Big smiles around here today! Brad Webb, Editor ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A M I G A S O L D T O A M I N O ! ! Amino Development Buys Amiga Name, Inventory From Gateway SAN DIEGO, Dec. 31 -- Amino Development Corp., a privately held company based in Maple Valley, Washington, has purchased from Gateway its Amiga trademarks and Amiga computer systems. Terms of the transaction have not been disclosed. According to Peter Ashkin, Gateway senior vice president, Gateway chose to sell the name after deciding to fold Amiga's software engineering function into Gateway's product development. This merger of development activities is part of Gateway's overall strategy to develop and market the coming generation of "Internet appliances". "Amiga, as a personal computer brand, has a loyal following of fans around the world," Ashkin said. "Under Gateway's wing, Amiga morphed into a software development company working on a new Internet appliance operating environment software. Now that we're bringing that development work into Gateway product development, it made sense to find a buyer for Amiga." "Yee-haw " said Bill McEwen, president and CEO of Amino. "This is a very exciting day, and now an even more exciting tomorrow. Now we can finish the job that was started 15 years ago." The transaction, effective immediately, includes the transfer of all Internet domain names related to Amiga which Gateway had held. Gateway retains ownership of all patents acquired when it bought Amiga in 1997. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Amiga Update on the net: All back issues available at: http://www.globaldialog.com/~amigaupdate/index.html Stop by and check out our archive! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 1999 by Brad Webb.

A wondeful last message of the year :-) Amino Development Buys Amiga Name, Inventory from Gateway (Individual.com). More links: Fleecy Moss in c.s.a.m: Welcome to tomorrow CNN: Gateway sells Amiga line Yahoo: Gateway Sells Rights to Amiga Name CNet: Gateway unloads Amiga name The Register: Gateway sells Amiga to ex-Amiga employee Slashdot: Gateway Sells Rights to Amiga Name Bill McEwen speaks at Amiga.org: Happy New Year to all Amigans around the world. Today Gateway announced that we have acquired Amiga. This is all true, and we are going to be making numerous announcements in the next week about the plans for the future systems, and it is all going to be very exciting. There is a very bright future for us, and now we can begin the journey. Welcome 2000! - Bill McEwen I now recommend one thing: go back and have a look at the last two caricatures by Torsten Dudai (Once upon a time...). Either all these heads agree on a common goal, and cooperate; or this Hydra will be going nowhere. If I see things correctly, there are two heads considerably stronger than the rest - QNX and Amino. If THEY agree on things, the next few days will tell. But the people behind PowerOS, MorphOS, Screens, and AROS should have a close look at what is going on, and think twice about how they can serve the cause best.

AmigaOS 3.5 wish list Martina Jacobs writes: I just hit a site I think interesting. At the title link, you can find a user wish list for AmigaOS 3.5 updates. Using the guestbook, you can state your opinion of what is still needed in AmigaOS. If H&P knows about this site, I don't know, but it only makes sense this way. If it isn't the case, they know now. :-) (Translation: mb) [News message: 31. Dec. 1999, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

Besides, a visit to Brunos website is always worth its while, since aside from the icons he also offers a lot of good material for webworkers, and more. (Translation: mb) [News message: 30. Dec. 1999, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

Report from the Chaos Communication Congress "The 16th Chaos Communication Congress divided the hacker community into two fractions more than ever before - one wanting to do a life style party, and the other wanting to stress political discussions and seminars. Harsh criticism and euphoric words were balanced in the final discussion on Wednesday after three days "fun at the system". Chasms were across "Windowsing", "generalism" and "game-centricism" of the hacker meeting. Does the Chaos Computer Club open itself to the mainstream in a time when Internet is becoming the masses media, and is the meeting degrading to just another LAN party?"

With New Prices into the Next Millenium (30.12.99) Taking the high Dollar (or low Euro) into account, PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX again have decided to allow for cheaper registrations through RegNet. Additionally, prices have been updated to reflect all possible, most uptodate bundle discounts as well. For example, the cheapest bundle (#5553) now only is $14 instead of $18.5 and the most expensive (#5563) only is $65 instead of $77.5. Please see www.ar-kleinert.de/regnet_e.html for links to RegNet and their sales conditions. (Translation: mb) [News message: 30.

Axel Krämer now at Met@box I had the opportunity to talk with Axel Krämer on the phone a short time ago. He is now at Met@box, responsible for production and logistics, and is very happy with his work. Just like before, he has a keen eye on what is going on in the Amiga sector, and wishes all Amigians a happy new year 2000. Of course I also asked Axel about news on the joeCARD, and he promised to tell us news immediately :-). (ps) [News message: 29.
