For More Information: Dale L. Larson, President Intangible Assets Manufacturing 828 Ormond Avenue Drexel Hill, PA 19026 info@iam.com voice: +1 610 853 4406 fax: +1 610 853 3733 Intangible Assets Manufacturing Continues Strong Support of Amiga Users Drexel Hill, PA (4 May, 1994) Intangible Assets Manufacturing, a software development and consulting company in the Amiga marketplace, announces that Commodore Electronics Ltd.'s voluntary liquidation in no way affects IAM's commitment to the Amiga. IAM's president, Dale L. Larson, stated, "The Amiga is important. Commodore is irrelevant." Larson elaborated, "Even if Commodore disappears and no one else picks up production of the Amiga, there is a large existing base of machines which will remain valuable for many years. We intend to help current Amiga users to get the most from those systems. Further, we believe that licensing agreements or other arrangements will likely allow production of new machines by someone." IAM's currently available products include Amiga Envoy — an Amiga peer-to-peer networking package. IAM expects to make an announcement of a new Amiga book soon, and has other major projects in the works for the coming year.

Dale, Thank you for the positive note! If more developers here would state thier intentions in a formal matter as you have, it may go a long way toward leaving prospective Amiga (and existing) owners with a positive attitude. …Steve CBM: The end of an era (or is that error?)

Three cheers! I assume your tongue was firmly in your cheek, quoting yourself like that? <BG> Paul

Thanks, I needed that! With all this doom and gloom stuff around, it's nice to hear factual upbeat information. Bob Comer — Cruising the nets on Autopilot! Cheyenne, Wyoming U.S.A.

I see a new tagline forming… >>"The Amiga is important. Commodore is irrelevant." BTW, Great news! Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Without the Amiga… the toaster is just another card.

Hi Dale, I'm glad you finally spoke up there…. Personally, I was thinking that you'd be in the midst of negotiations with third party development types about a new Amiga clone. <grin> See ya, – Dave

If new Amigas are produced, and the producer does more OS work, I may well be talking to them. — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing

Well, good. If you do, please give some thought to what *I* think is the most glaring lack in the Amiga OS- system level postscript (and display postscript as well). I can live without everything else, but the fonts gotta get fixed. -Karl Speaking from the Rubble.
