Amiga International, Inc.
Greeting of Petro Tyschtschenko to dealers and distributors in Australia and New Zealand
at the Australian Amiga Gathering 97, June 28, 1997
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Welcome to the Australian Amiga Gathering 97, which represents the official relaunch of the AMIGA in Australia.
Unfortunately, due to other commitments, I am not able to be here today, as I would like to have been, especially as I always like to talk to fellow AMIGA enthusiasts. I hope I can be present at the next AMIGA Convention that takes place in Australia.
Many thanks to you, my friends, for your support, your understanding and your patience.
It makes me very happy to know that our AMIGA community in Australia is excited about the new turn in the AMIGA´s fortunes, and looking forward to ist future with interest.
As you are already aware, Gateway 2000 is a great home for our AMIGA, and with Gateway´s spirit and financal resources, we can expect to have a bright future.
Although AMIGA International, Inc. is a subsidary of Gateway 2000, and Gateway 2000 will provide resources to reinvigorate the AMIGA market place and keep AMIGA International a profitable subsidary, it is not Gateway 2000´s policy to mix AMIGA activities with those of Gateway 2000. So we have to active of our own behalf.
As I already mentioned, in my London speech, three elements from the basis of my strategy. These are:
1. Supportint the existing AMIGA community
2. Leveraging the existing AMIGA technology through broad licensing
3. Assisting in developing new products based on open standards to the home computer and video/graphics market.
AMIGA International is exploring all possible products for the marketplace, including both hardware and software. We face a great challange because it is not easy to make new products available in a short timeframe.
We are interested in working with companies such as Phase 5 to develop one unified AMIGA standard.
We need potential partners here in Australia, and we are looking for such partners.
We will open up the marketplace to cloning through licensing.
In Europe, I have just finalised a license contract with Mikronik, to build A1200 Towers, with a wide range of options, including a 68060 processor.
I believe there is still a strong following for the AMIGA system. Through licensing and new product development, there should be a strong future for the AMIGA.
AMIGA International´s intention is to support the development community through concepts such as the „Open AMIGA INITIATIVE", and it will explore other concepts to bring developer over the platform.
We will explore the development of an OS upgrade, and will address the features and functions that are necessary.
I BELIEVE THAT THE BASIS OF SUCCESS IS TO WORK TOGETHER; WITH PARTNERS.
The AMIGA market cannot afford a split!
WE MUST ALL MOVE TOGETHER IN ONE DIRECTION.
The AMIGA revival in Australia is important for me.
Please support AMIGA International, just as you supported the AMIGA in the past. Do not give up this wonderful computer´s technology.
AMIGA is back for the future.
Thank you very much for your attendance at the Australian AMIGA Gathering ´97. Enjoy the show, and the AMIGA return.
