| | Wired News: Amiga Back From the Dead Again |
 | | On April 1, at Amiga 2000, a developer's show in St. Louis, Amiga's new owners will unveil a new developers' machine, according to company officials, who acquired the platform rights from Gateway last year. |
 | | Launched in 1982 by a trio of Florida dentists, the Amiga was ahead of its time with a fast, stable operating system that looked fantastic and was great for multimedia, especially video. |
 | | Over the years, the Amiga name and technology was passed from Commodore, which went bust, to Escom, which also went out of business, to Gateway, which late last year sold it to a cadre of Amiga fans headed up by former Gateway marketing executives Bill McEwen and Fleecy Moss. |
