buys remnants
AMIGA.
"Computer Review."
________________________________
Company GATEWAY 2000 appealed to the German Commission on
Bankruptcy Court with a proposal to redeem the property AMIGA
Technologies, a firm that in 1985 produced the first multimedia
computer.
In April 1995, the ruined
AMIGA acquired by ESCOM,
which itself has become bankrupt
July last year.
GATEWAY announces that it intends to rename the firm in AMIGA
International and make it an independent unit that will develop
new products for the computer market AMIGA.Petro Tishchenko
(Petro Tyschenko) will remain as president of the company.
Speaker of the GATEWAY reported that
for the entry into force of the transaction
must be approved by German regulatory authorities.
In the Americas
AMIGA represented slightly, in Europe the same system of this
company for more than rasprostraneny.AMIGA occupied mainly
mainly niche in the video industry, and three-dimensional
rendering. GATEWAY, on the contrary, made significant progress
in implementation of its model of direct
Marketing in the U.S., but in the European market still has a
strong position.
Acquiring AMIGA, GATEWAY will not only expand the market
marketing their products, but also get the base for their
experiments with multimedia, the most notable of which was
krupnoekranny PC Destination - the first Breakthrough companies
in the retail trade.
Nevertheless, some analysts have expressed doubts, if not
in the logic of such a transaction, then,
at least in its relevance to the
terms of overall company strategy,
since many years, the recipe for success was the support GATEWAY
platform Wintel.
