July 13, 2000 - Amiga Inc., Snoqualmie, WA, today announced
manufacturing and distribution agreements with Wonder Computers
International Inc. in Ottawa, Canada and Software Hut, Inc. in West
Chester, PA. These agreements will allow the manufacture of
d'Amiga Authorized Developer Workstations in North
America.
Both Software Hut and Wonder Computers are well known and well
regarded figures in the Amiga community. Their involvement dates
back well over a decade.
Amiga, Software Hut and Wonder Computers share the same vision
and strategy to establish the Next Generation Amiga as the
preeminent media platform and operating environment for the
future.
“It gives us great pleasure to have released the Software
Development Kit (SDK) on schedule and to follow up with such
excellent value to the community with the d'Amiga
Developer Workstation. It gives us equal pleasure to have the
support of Software Hut and Wonder Computers behind this release.
Through this developer machine, we achieve our goal of providing
excellent value in superior hardware to realize our cross platform
binary compatibility promise for developers. This will no doubt
come as great news to those in the community seeking value of their
dollar as they develop for the great number of target platforms
that Amiga supports," said Randall Hughes, Vice President, Sales
and Strategic Alliances at Amiga Inc.
"We at Software Hut are extremely excited to have been selected
as the official US Distributor for the authorized
d'Amiga Developer Workstation. Many of our
customers and dealer partners have been looking for a machine with
all the specifications to run the Amiga SDK in one bundled package.
Our combined efforts, along with Amiga Inc.'s and Wonder
Computers', will ensure that all developers will have easy and
affordable access to the tools needed to develop software that will
revolutionize computing as we now know it," said Joseph Muoio,
President of Software Hut, Inc.
"We are proud to be a part of this quantum leap forward in
computing technology, and look forward to working closely with
Amiga and Software Hut on this project in the weeks and months to
come. The developer machine is more than just a tool. It represents
the first significant opportunity for Amigans and former Amigans
everywhere, to join forces and help bring about a real change in
the way computers work. The developers machine can also be
configured to run Amiga Classic software through emulation, adding
further to its potential value for anyone considering a purchase,"
extolled Mark Habinski, President of Wonder Computers International
Inc.
The developer machine represents unparalleled value, uses brand
name parts of the highest quality, and is bundled with a
comprehensive warranty on hardware and an enhanced level of support
from Amiga Inc. The workstation also includes the Amiga SDK. "We at
Amiga are proud to have our name on the d'Amiga
Authorized Developer Workstation," said Mr. Hughes, in reference to
its significant value and competitive price. Such a
price/performance achievement is not possible using clone hardware.
If it does not have the official Amiga Boing insignia, it is not an
authorized Amiga Developer Workstation. Please see www.amiga.com
