34 ~4astaa-lta.c vFwct9a ÿajette Ilea 97 Petro Tyschtschenko's speaks at the Midwest Amicon Exposition
The following is a transcript of Petro Tyschtschenko's speech on Saturday, Nov 1, 1997, at the Midwest Amicon Exposition in Columbus, Ohio, USA.
Ladies and Gentlemen
Dear Amigans, I'm very pleased to attend the Amicon which is indeed my first big convention after Gateway 2000 Inc. acquired Amiga. This year on May 31, I was invited by the Amiga Atlanta User Group. Out of this potential User Group, I met people who are attending the Amicon today. Thank you very much for this invitation and for your time to listen to me.
As you know yesterday was Halloween and I was very pleased that nobody beat me up, because I did not bring any 'Sweets' - like news from our Research & Development department. As you noticed already, Mr. Jeff Schindler, the general Manager of our new founded Research & Development department, is not avail- able today. At the moment he is preparing a strategy road map which will be announced at the Cologne fair.
Today I do not intend to talk a lot about our history, because everybody knows what had happened, how ex- citing and how glamorous and sometimes how sad and negative our history was designed. You may remem- ber my speech at the World of Amiga in London with Dr. Jim Taylor, world-wide President Global Marketing of Gateway 2000, Inc. on17M-1 Sth May 97. In his speech, Dr. Jim Taylor pointed out that Gateway 2000, has not bought Amiga to make is smaller. Gateway 2000 want the Amiga to grow.
And indeed, at AMIGA International, Inc. we registered already growth. We founded AMIGA International Inc. In Langen which is under my direction, and we are responsible for the Sales and Marketing world-wide. In Germany we are in total 7 people. We are very successful in selling our existing products world- wide. Beside Europe, we have tremendous improvements regarding the sale in India and in Australia, but our North American business is also increasing. Good news are that we will have for our A 1 200 Amiga Magic Pack, which was until now only available in PAL, a NTSC version for the North American market available beginning December 97. We also cut down our prices dramatically to built up the market for our future products and to find new clients-its to convince by our fantastic Amiga technology.
We have negotiated with Ouikpak about a license agreement, and it is already signed a few days ago. As I already mentioned, It was founded a new company - Amiga Inc. in South Dakota, close to Gateway 2000. Amiga Inc. Is responsible for the Research and the Development of new Amiga products, as well as hard and software. The company is managed by Jeff Schindler. Currently in South Dakota at Amiga Inc. them are working 5 people:
Jeff Schindler, General Manager Darreck Lisle, Event coordinator Marylin Flint, Operations manager Joe Torre, Senior engineer Kelly Newby, Bookkeeper
/lc ataateaar rfiesega 9afette Ilea 97 35 Coming back to AMIGA International world wide sales and marketing activities out of Europe, they are as follows- • Supporting the existing Amiga community, • Leveraging the existing Amiga technology through brought licensing, • Assisting In developing new products based on open standards to the home computer and video/graphics market.
Since March 97, I have visited and supported world-wide Amiga activities to keep up our community in Europe. I also attended the following conventions: • Heilbronn/Germany, Amiga User Meeting with Keith Bradech from Gateway 2000 Trier/Germany, Convention called Magic days • Stockholm/Sweden, Amitech 97 • Hammersmith/England, World of Amiga • Warsaw/Poland, Gamblerlada 97 and Intel Outside Party • Atlanta/USA, User Group convention • Dakota DunesPUSA, first constitutional meeting • Saarbrucken/Germany, User Group convention • Hof/Germany, User Group convention • Empoli)ltaly, Planta Amiga • Bombay/India, Scat 97 • Australia,/Australian Amiga Gathering 97 and now here in Port Columbus at the Amicon.
AM I GA International has reached many license agreements. They are: * A1200 Micronik (Germany), • A4000 Nova Sector (USA)
Amiga OS 3.1: • Software Hut (USA) • Power Computing (UK), • Vesalia Computer (Germany)
Software Application *Epic Marketing (UK) - Image 3.1 KS Rom, • Cloanto (Italian), Amiga forever
Merchandise Product (for example T-shirts) •Vidamus (Sweden), • Robert Hamilton (USA), • Triple A (France), • Logica (Italy), • Randomize (Canada), • Amiga Plus (Germany)
For new hardware based on Amiga OS 3,1 • Index (UK), Access, • DCE GmbH, Germany, • Quikpak (USA)
Spare Part distribution • Paxtron (USA)
Further license contracts are in sight for A1200: • Elbox (Poland), • Intrinsic (UK), • Professional Support Service (South Africa)
New hardware based on Amiga OS 3.1 • REC (USA) China/Europe, with their wonder TV
The next big convention is coming soon which will be the Cologne fair called *Computer 97" starting 14th to 16th November 97. For years, the fair was called The World of Commodore" and than after Commodore's bankruptcy it was changed into computer with the ci rent year. It was the largest Amiga fair world-wide. In 1995 there were more than 80.000 people attending the show. Last year when Amiga Technologies was under bankruptcy petition, there was no fair booth and I was sitting around like an refugee and I tried hard to represent Amiga outgoing from foreign booths. 'This situation effected also the figures of visitors. The -figure dropped to r
36 r4adta4/41,- Amiga gestate lb. 97 only 35.000 in 3 days, During the opening ceremony last year, I promised to be back in 1997—and indeed I achieved this goal. AMIGA International will have a big fair booth with about 2.000 square feet. AMIGA International will not sell any products during the fair. We will represent the Amiga technology and the licensed technology. On our booth, following companies are exhibiting and demonstrating their products - powered by Amiga: ' HI O Limited, UK , • Haage & Partner, Germany , ' Index Information, UK, t Micronik, Germany, ' Herm Holger Kruse, USA Miami Software Internet, ' Angela Schmidt, Germany CD bum in
The biggest enrichment is that we can show the new designed boards by DCE Computer Service GmbH. This board is based on the A4000 with following features: There will be 2 versions available A5000 A6000 CPU 68030/50 Mhz CPU 68060/50 Mhz Up to 64 MB Ram Up to 128 MB RAM Standard PC Keyboard Standard PC Keyboard 1.44 MB Floppy Disk 1.44 MB Floppy Disk 1.7 Gbyte IDE HOD 1.7 Gbyte IDE HD 10 - 24 Speed IDE CD ROM 10 - 24 Speed IDE CD ROM AGA Chipset AGA Chipset Scan Doubler Scan Doubler HF Modulator optional HF Modulator optional
I think this product will be very successful in our near future. It will help us to keep the market alive and growing. For further information, please watch www.dcecom.de. This year in Cologne we expect more than 60.000 visitor., 80 % of them will be Amiga fanatics. In well organized workshops, the following companies will be represented through News and Information.
' Phase 5 - workshop power PC and strategy. • Cloanto-Amiga forever, a hot discussion item. ' Haage & Partner- Internet & Java, Compiling C code using Storm C, linking and creating executable. * Nova Design Alladin 4D-an old friend is back, Cinemorph - faster and faster Image FX. • Vulcan Software from England will present their new Genetic Demo.
Due to the world-wide shortage of Amiga video monitors, AMIGA International will also demonstrate how to use a standard PC monitor with our beloved Amiga.
I think it is very Important, that we explore an open Amiga platform, use industry standard components to reduce the production costs, to make ft faster to develop and easier to upgrade. I try to reach this goal in a very managed fashion. Highlights of the Cologne fair will be the long expected announcement about the Future of Amiga. Which will be stated at the developer conference on Friday evening at 7 p.m. Jeff Schindler will explain the strategy and roadmap for our future. Now, my friends, I'm already at the end of my speech and Today I had the great pleasure again to stand here and to give you a short up to date. I'm con- vinced that we will meet each other several times within the next years, My personal opinion is: Amiga has a bright future ahead!
Thank you for being here And many thanks to the people who organized this big and successful event.
