All forward-looking statements included herein are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to IONA as of the date hereof, and IONA assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such variation are discussed in ``Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsÐFactors Affecting Future Results'' and the Company's reports ®led with the Securities and Exchange Commission. General IONA is a world leader in the business of ``Making Software Work Together.'' IONA creates and delivers middleware products which enable the development, integration and management of network-based applications in multi-platform computing environments. IONA's Orbix family of products can be thought of as ``containers'' which hold the various different software components that make up modern applications. These products are therefore designed to provide the software communications infrastructure to connect applications running on multiple, heterogeneous platforms and to support the rapid development and deployment of network-centric and component-oriented applications. Orbix is the world's leading implementation of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (``CORBA'') standard, which has been promulgated by the Object Management Group, an independent standards body, to address the problems of application integration by standardizing application-to-application communications. IONA also supports other standards in the middleware market, including Microsoft's Common Object Model and Sun Microsystems' Enterprise Java Beans. IONA believes that many corporate information technology (``IT'') departments are adopting a component-oriented approach to application development and procurement to x increase the ¯exibility, scalability, agility and feature set of network applications; x decrease development cost; x reduce time-to-market; and x extend the boundaries of their information systems beyond the enterprise to the Internet. This component-oriented approach has created a demand for an underlying infrastructure, such as Orbix, which can be used by corporate IT departments and complemented by independent software vendors to connect application components. IONA has pursued a business strategy of developing an extensive customer base by designing its Orbix family of products as a shrink-wrapped, easy-to-use, modular product set for application developers and marketing the Orbix family of products through ®eld sales, direct sales, telesales and indirect channel sales. These channels have been augmented with a growing enterprise sales team focused on delivering larger scale accounts. The Orbix family of products is available on over 15 leading computing platforms, such as OS/390, various UNIX versions and Windows, and supports a wide range of programming languages, including C++, Java, Visual Basic and COBOL. -1- IONA also provides enterprise class products and services. For example, OrbixOTM is an integrated suite of middleware products which provides support for enterprise development and represents a complete integrated solution

The effervescence of New York's underground scene was contagious and spread to England with a 1976 tour of the Ramones that was artfully manipulated to start a fad (after the "100 Club Festival" of september 1976 that turned British punk-rock into a national phenomenon). In the USA the punk subculture was a combination of subterranean record industry and of teenage angst. In Britain it became a combination of fashion and of unemployment. Music in London had been a component of fashion since the times of the Swinging London (read: Rolling Stones). Punk-rock was first and foremost a fad that took over the Kingdom by storm. However, the social component was even stronger than in the USA: it was not only a generic malaise, it was a specific catastrophe. The iron rule of prime minister Margaret Thatcher had salvaged Britain from sliding into the Third World, but had caused devastation in the social fabric of the industrial cities, where unemployment and poverty reached unprecedented levels and racial tensions were brooding.

Omnibus Press. Paperback. Condition: New. 183 pages. Dimensions: 9.1in. x 6.1in. x 0.8in.Without London band Wire, punk rock might never have developed beyond primitive three-chord thrash and cliched songs about tower blocks and dole queues. Arguably the first art-punks, the four musicians - Colin Newman on vocals and guitar, Graham Lewis on bass and vocals, Bruce Gilbert on guitar and Robert Gotobed (nee Grey) on drums - evolved fast from their groundbreaking 1977 debut album Pink Flag, with its 21 short, sharp, minimalist bursts of noise and melody. They were catalysts in the shi from punk to post-punk, paving the way for the likes of Magazine, Gang of Four, Public Image Limited and Joy Division. Paul Lesters book will tell the story of this crucial transitional band, from their early days dodging hostile crowds at punk venues like the Roxy, through their attempts to inject some arthouse experimentation and Situationist subversion into an increasingly conservative punk scene, up to their split in 1981 and beyond their mid-80s return and their various solo projects.
