Who has bought Amiga?
Volker Mohr has done this summary for us:
Everybody has heard it: Amino Development has purchased
the rights on the name Amiga, the Internet domain, and most important, on the Amiga technology
developed in the time before Gateway. Not purchased were the rights on the new multimedia
environment, so far been called "AmigaObjects", and the so-called Amiga MCC. These products,
developed during the Gateway era, will be integrated into the Gateway product line without the
name Amiga in the future.
With other words: What we user would call Amiga does now belong to Amino.
But who is Amino? Basically, Amino consists of two persons: Fleecy Moss and Bill McEwen. If
you had an eye on Amiga Inc. and Gateway in the last few years, these names will sound
familiar to you.
Bill McEwen was employed at Amiga, Inc. as "Head of Marketing and Software Evangelism". He
left the company only days before Jim Collas, not all that voluntary himself. Before Bill
worked at Amiga, Inc., he already was employed by several other well-known computer companies,
but had nothing to do with Amiga. Despite this, he was immediately impressed by the capabilities
of the (original) Amiga, and very quickly became a convinced member of the Amiga community and
a supporter of the (by Jeff Schindler) so-called "Amiga Classics". Of course he did not lose
the feeling for the need of new hard- and software developments. So, he was also a supporter of
Collas' plans for the so-called AmigaMCC.
Bill McEwen had to leave Amiga, Inc. a few days before Jim Collas. While Collas was said to
have left the company "for personal reasons", Bill never hid that his contract was not extended.
While Bill is no long-standing Amiga fan, he did not only learn to understand and value the Amiga
and his users, but also was able to win the trust of old Amiga gurus like Dave Haynie and Carl
Sassenrath.
Fleecy Moss is also known to most from his time at Amiga, Inc. Little is known about his time
before that. In an interview with the magazine CU Amiga (which has been closed down in the
meantime), October issue 1998, page 30f., he tells a little bit about himself: "I am British,
and currently work in the USA. I am Project Manager and System Architect, responsible for
introducing new special computer systems. I am Amiga user for 8 years (translator's note:
with the interview being dated 1998), and started with a Commodore Pet and VC 20 at the
age of 11. What I hope to give the Amiga is respect for his philosophy and community ideals,
as well as a good feeling for the future and the digital information revolution." (translator's
note: The above has been re-translated and might differ slightly from the original, to which
I don't have access.)
After Joe Torre, Fleecy Moss was the second important person at Amiga, Inc. whose contract
was not extended. After his departure, Fleecy initiated the KOSH
project. KOSH is intended to be "the hardware equivalent to Linux", a computer platform
honoring user wishes and needs, developed as open source. Fleecy knows of course that such
a goal cannot be achieved in short terms. When Gateway canceled the AmigaMCC plans, Joe Torre
initiated Amino together with Bill McEwen. (translator's note: probably this should read
Fleecy Moss and Bill McEwen, not Joe Torre!?) There have been little information about
this company. The first impression on the public was made by the close connection with
Phoenix, a connection of several Amiga distributors
and developers with the goal of creating a new platform as an alternative to the Amiga. This
common platform was originally intended to be based on PPC systems with QNX as operating
system. Both was not a final decission when Phoenix / Amino was founded, but a basis of
discussion for common plans.
So what does the purchase of Amiga by Amino mean? It is clear that the freshly founded two-man
company does not have the funds to continue AmigaOS development and have new hardware build
in short terms. But that is not required necessarily. To get an impression what can be expected,
I recommend having a close look at the Phoenix pages. The basic difference will probably be that
now there will be no development of an Amiga alternative, but a further development of the Amiga
platform. This means, roughly, that Amiga/Amino will lead the path, but several other companies
will build new Amigas, too. This would bring the Amiga area a similar situation as in the PC area,
where many companies can honor many special wishes of users. This path of action has several
advantages: The necessary investments are distributed among several companies. Additionally,
this gives added security to the user, since a possible bancruptcy of a single company would
not endanger the whole market. This way, the Amiga as a platform will be of interest again
for new users.
If the future systems will run on a modern AmigaOS, QNX or whatever, or if the new systems will
be based on PPC, that's speculation. It's a fact, however, that there has been work on the future
before the purchase, too, so things don't start from zero. Especially how new users are to be
drawn has to be speculated about. For sure there has been thought put in this area, too.
I am convinced that many surprises are to be expected soon.

Happy New Year everyone! Some of you will see this on the last day of

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!

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.

Amino Development Buys Amiga Name, Inventory from Gateway (Individual.com).

Yahoo: Gateway Sells Rights to Amiga Name
CNet: Gateway unloads Amiga name
The Register: Gateway sells Amiga to ex-Amiga employee

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. (mb)

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?"

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

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 :-).

Two articles that get under your skin
Subject on the Chaos Communication Congress: Tron (again)
This year, too, Tron's ghost is spooking the halls of the Haus am Kölnischen Park
in Berlin, where the Chaos Communication Congress closes today. The cause of death of the
star hacker is no longer in doubt after two autopsies. The suicide theory of police and
prosecutors is criticised by the CCC, Tron's parents and their attorney even more than
before, however. "It could not have happened without outer force", Chaos spokesman Andy
Müller-Maghun brings the murder theory to the point after detailed studies of the
autopsy report and prosecutor files. Police research has been focused only on the suicide
theory from the very beginning, Müller-Maghun criticises. Other hints have been
ignored on purpose.
GPS under your skin
According to plans of US manufacturer Applied Digital Solutions (ADS), online shoppers will carry their customer card under their skin in the future. The Florida company has now filed a patent for a maintenance free implant, which is (among others) able to recieve and send GPS signals. The transciever can be implanted in the human body with little effort, says the company in an ad, provided with power by muscle movements. (ps)
