Amiga Incorporated has entered into a strategic relationship with Tao Group
for the New Amiga

Las Vegas, January 8, 2000 - Amiga Incorporated, a privately held company
based in Maple Valley, WA, has entered into a strategic relationship with
the Tao Group as the new content platform foundation partner for the new
Amiga. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Bill McEwen, Amiga President/CEO, said that the company selected Tao as the
foundation partner for the new Amiga after reviewing numerous other
potential partners.

"After extensive research trawling the markets we found that Tao had the
greatest similarities and strengths with our vision, and the capabilities to
get the job done". McEwen said.  "Amiga with Tao together will  bring a new
level of capabilities, portability and scalability never available before."

"Tao has its roots in the Amiga so this is particularly satisfying for us"
said Francis Charig, Chairman and CEO of Tao Group.  "What makes this
relationship so exciting to Tao is the relationship we can enjoy with  Amiga
and the Amiga Community. The world has changed radically in the last few
years and there is a vacuum in terms of content and software environments
that meets the needs of the mass market. The skill sets of the Amiga
community combined with the power and flexibility of Tao's software
infrastructure means that the New Amiga can create the most compelling
content for the emerging digital services and content markets."
