Holiday Executive Update from Bill McEwen
December 23, 2000
Executive Update - Looking Back
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to one and all:
Wow, have we been a blessed company. On December 27, 1999 we executed
our agreement with Gateway, and January 3rd 2000 was our first day of
business.
In one year we have been able to release an upgrade to the AmigaOS
(3.9, with our partners Haage and Partner), we have announced and
released two versions of the SDK for the New AmigaDE (Digital
Environment), we have released the AmigaOne specification and
announced two partners in building these new machines, (bPlan, and
Eyetech).
Yes this has been an amazing year.
As we look back upon these last 12 months, there have been many
lessons learned, and it is with these new lessons that we will be
moving into 2001, with clear focus, and numerous new announcements and
deals. Yes, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas will be great
fun for Amigans around the world, for it is here that the rest of the
world will begin to learn what you already know! :-)
At this time of remembrance and thanks, we are also reminded of our
friends that we have lost. Coz, Bob Cosby is very missed and we think
of him, and pray daily for his wife Marsha. It has been the most
sobering event for Amiga, and it helped us to remember that Family is
what makes Amiga great. We are looking to add many new members to the
Amiga family this year.
This year has been hard for us in other ways also: the stock market
has certainly hindered our ability to raise the capital we wanted to
accelerate our plans, and many of us have had to endure financial
hardships making the dream of Amiga a reality. The Amiga team is
together, and moving ahead quickly towards this new and exciting year.
I want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support
and for everyone hanging in there with us.
We are truly a blessed company.
I want to personally wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a very
Happy New Year.
God Bless,
><> Bill McEwen ><>
President CEO Amiga, Inc,
bill@amiga.com.

IRC-Server runs on Amiga 500 :-)
I've just noticed that the information text of the EFnet IRC server irc.gigabell.de
says: "Running on AmigaOS, Kick 1.3". If you want to see it yourself, just log
into this IRC server of the Gigabell AG and have a look at your Whois.

Happy X-Mas
With this entry in the amiga news, we would like to thank you for the many
visits and the great support.
The last year has brought quite some changes to those working on the web. Even
at us, the PC and thus Flash5 have made their entrances - which doesn't mean
that we will leave or neglect the Amiga sector. On the contrary: there's something
planned in the Amiga sector for next year, you'll be pleasantly surprised!
A special thanks to the AMIGA-NEWS-TEAM. Always reliable and latest informations.
Thanks also to Stefan Kost (SOUNDFX) and Patrick Meng (SYMPHONIEPRO) for the
uncomplicated co-operation.
We wish all who read this pleasant Christmas days and a successful and purposeful
year 2001.
Your 2IDs.TEAM

New beta version (V.45.00 beta 4) of stormamiga.lib V.45.00 for StormC
After a long time there's a new version of stormamiga.lib as a Christmas
gift from Matthias Henze. The most important improvements in this version
are certainly the new, very fast and exact math functions for the MC68040
and MC68060. Other function were also rewritten from the scratch up. Furthermore,
there are many optimizations and some bugfixes.

Amiga Extreme takes a break
«Amiga Extreme will be closing for a while. This is because I feel
that I don't have the motivation to continue the site, and the fact that there's almost
nothing to post, I don't see much of a point in updating. There are better sites for that
(Amiga.org and Czech Amiga News for example).
Once again, this is not the end, it's just the end for Amiga Extreme on the classic platform.
The next time Amiga Extreme will open is when the AmigaONE release is closing in on us and when there's
some real news for the new platform. I'm already working on a new design and have lots of ideas for
the new AE.
Also, the e-mail addresses will still be up, so you can mail me at syke@amigaextreme.com.
More info will be posted when it's time. I have no plans to leave the Amiga platform, and I'm confident
that the new Amiga platform will be successful. Your sincerely - Stefan "Syke" Falk -
webmaster@amigaextreme.com.»

FMdriver V1.14 BETA released
Stefan writes:
On my homepage is now an official beta version of my driver system for the
FrameMachine video card. New additions include a GrabbingCenter, hardware
drivers were moved into a library (68k and PPC), slight speed improvements,
localisation of the most important programs and a couple of little things ... :)
I can only offer limited support until February 2001 as I will put all my projects
"on ice" to allow me more time for my studies. Thanks for your understanding!
Christmas is soon ... what's missing? Of course, my annual "Christmas letter" ;-),
here in English.

Back to the Roots Amiga-News 226
Christmas is near and again another year has passed. Therefore
"Back to the Roots" (http://www.back2roots.org) brings you
some nice presents in form of some wonderful classic Amiga
games - as always for free and with permission!
The companies Dynamix and Digital Integration are supporting
our project now, too so the flight simulations Red Baron,
F-16 Combat Pilot and Tornado are now online. Also the great
adventure games Space Quest 1 (the remake!), Colonel's Bequest,
Code name: Iceman and others like Thunderhawk, Wonder Dog, Vroom
and Warhead!
There are interviews with the legendary Scene-musicians "Jester/
Sanity" and "Clawz/Bomb" online, too! Both are telling some
interesting news, not only for music lovers.
As usual there were also tons of Scene-demos, pictures and
modules from Amiga games and the demo scene added.
We'd like to thank all our visitors for their support during
the last year and send greetings to all companies and people
who helped us to keep the classic stuff alive. We wish you
all a merry X-mas and a happy new year.
