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..
