Some interesting news today, most of it follow-ups and expansions of stories
we've already touched on briefly. There's also one CORRECTION I need to make:
earlier I had stated that MUI 3.X is not readily available. Actually, MUI
(Magic User Interface) 3.1 demo version is very much available on the
Internet. You should also be able to find it on most commercial services
at this point. You'll need it to use the I-Browse demo version (Amiga web
browser) and it will make the AMosaic web browser work better.
Speaking of web browsing, most of the items here are readily availble on
Amiga web sites. I'm running them because there are so few people who actually
do Amiga web browsing. Let me know if this is a good thing, or if you'd
prefer me to stick to items that are more difficult to locate.

World of Amiga
Toronto 1995
Never has the future of the Amiga looked so bright! The World of Amiga show
celebrates the revival of the Amiga computer with exciting exhibits and
seminars from Amiga hardware and software developers, distributors and
retailers.
In April 1995 Escom AG surprised the Amiga market by purchasing the assets
of Commodore Business Machines out from under several long time bidders.
Since then a new company, Amiga Technologies GmbH was formed by Escom to
handle production and development of the Amiga.
The Amiga computer combines a lean and powerful operating system with
excellent graphics hardware. Amiga graphics were made famous through their
continued use on TV shows such as Babylon 5, Seaquest, and Star Trek
Voyageur. The Amiga computer is able to do more with less resources than
Macintosh or PC compatible computers, making it a very attractive
production platform!
Meet Amiga Technologies, see their new Amiga 4000T, and see new hardware
and software for the Amiga from nearly 30 other exhibitors such as Phase 5,
Soft-Logik, VillageTonic, DKB, Asimware Innovations, Lazarus Engineering,
Oregon Research, and I.A.M..
Petro Tyschtschenko, the General Manager of Amiga Technologies GmbH will be
giving a keynote address to exhibitors, press, and user-group
representatives one hour before the show opens on Friday, December 8th.
The show hours are:
Friday, December 8th 4pm - 10pm
Saturday, December 9th 10am - 6pm
Sunday, December 10th 10am - 6pm
Admission at the door is $8.00 per day or $20.00 for a three day pass.

Subject: The Amiga A4000T Ships !
Date sent: Tue, 28 Nov 1995 14:07:05 -0500
Tuesday, November 28
At approximately noon today, the first shipment of A4000T systems arrived at
our warehouse. We are turning these systems around immediately. Some
dealers have requested that part of their first orders be sent overnight.
All will be on their way to dealers tomorrow.
Not all dealers who are authorized have ordered systems.
Please note well - We have received several reports of consumers buying
systems - and paying for them - from unauthorized dealers. There are no
systems going to unauthorized dealers. BE CAREFUL
{SEE below for a list of authorized dealers. Brad}

Subject: RE: Amiga Specifications
Date sent: Wed, 29 Nov 1995 15:42:15 -0500
Steve,
There are complete spec sheets for the A4000T, A1200 and the M1438S monitor.
All (potential) dealers received a set as part of their dealer application
kits.
We will be shipping quantity lots of these sheets to all authorized dealers
who have purchased systems. If we have sufficient quantities remaining, we
will be sending spec sheets to all authorized dealers. You should be able
to get these from these dealers. Simply because of the sheet volume
involved, we cannot provide these sheets and other materials to individuals
and non-authorized dealers.
The Amigas come with a four (4) month Amiga Technology warranty, and and
eight (8) months SMG extended warranty. The net for the customer is one (1)
year of coverage at no cost (except getting the unit to their selling dealer
or an authorized repair center.) We will pay the return freight to the
consumer. Since we've never had to repair any yet under the new program, I
cannot say from experience what the turnaround will be. We have set very
specific targets of five (5) days total.
As of today, 11-29, there is one (1) authorized dealer in Maryland: Kipp
Visual Systems in Baltimore. (410) 732-5870 and Gaithersburg (301)
670-7906. One (1) other dealership in Maryland has requested an application
but has not returned it.
The new Amigas have indeed shipped. The first orders arrived and are on
their way to dealers.
