San Francisco, CA — March 12, 2002 — Amiga, Inc. announced the release and distribution of Amiga applications targeted at the Microsoft Windows CE .NET operating system. The applications will run on any of the range of Windows CE .NET-based devices including handhelds, smart phones, web pads, and set-top boxes.
Amiga has a rich history of gaming and multimedia and has been delivering rich, compelling applications since 1985. The new breed of Amiga applications have been written to run on the entire range of Windows Powered products including PDA’s, Cell Phones, and Set Top Boxes. Amiga provides a middleware portability layer, which allows Amiga applications to be written once and run across a range of Windows Powered devices without change. More than 100 applications will be made available initially and many more are being created by Amiga developers worldwide.
“We are pleased to be able to deliver content that is optimized to run on the Windows CE .NET Platform”, said Bill McEwen President/CEO of Amiga Inc. “Amiga developers are world renowned for their abilities to create amazing multimedia content with a small footprint. This gives us the ability to deliver a robust and exciting experience for even the smallest devices.”
“As the number and variety of small- footprint and mobile Windows Powered devices continues to grow, ISVs want to ensure that their applications are able to run on as many of these different devices as possible,” said Keith White, senior director of marketing for the Embedded and Appliance Platforms Group at Microsoft Corp. “Amiga Anywhere enables application developers to easily take advantage of the rich application and multimedia support in Windows CE .NET to write gaming applications that will run on a broad range of smart Windows Powered devices.”
Amiga for Windows Powered Products is expected to ship in April this year. More information can be found on the Amiga Anywhere web site at http://www.amiga-anywhere.com/.

Microsoft Windows 98's secret:
Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, payed me a visit.
As we were talking I mentioned having recently installed Windows 98 on my PC
and that I am very happy with this operating system. I also showed him the
Windows 98 CD, to my surprise he threw it into my micro-wave oven and turned
on the oven. Instantly I got very upset, because the CD had become precious
to me, but he said: 'Do not worry, it is unharmed.' After a few minutes he
took the CD out, gave it to me and said: 'Take a close look at it.' To my
surprise the CD was quite cold to hold and it seemed to be heavier
than before.
At first I could not see anything, but then on the inner edge of the central
hole I saw an inscription; an inscription finer than anything I have ever
seen before. The inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if
out of a great depth:
4F6E65204F5320746F2072756C65207468656D20616C6C2C204F6E65204F5320746
F2066696E64207468656D2CDA4F6E65204F5320746F206272696E67207468656D20

'I cannot understand the fiery letters,' I said.
'No,' he said 'but I can. The letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, but
the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in
common English this is what it says:
One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them,
One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them |
