AMIGA INC. ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF AMIGA AUTHORIZED DEVELOPER WORKSTATION IN NORTH AMERICA

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.
