The first machines are already being built by Amiga Technologies in the United States and should be available in last part of Q3. Alex Amor President of CEI states, "We are excited to be able to re-introduce the Amiga back into the Americas. This agreement opens the door for joint future projects under discussions. We are and have always been committed to the Amiga." Ed Goff, Amiga Technologies North American representative states, "We are extremely pleased that CEI will be distributing the Amiga into North and South America. They will be bringing a strong dealer network and countless years of Amiga experience." The new Amiga 4000T is being positioned as a high end video workstation. The base model will have a Motorola 68040 processor operating at 25Mhz. The new 4000T will be packaged in a sleek tower unit. Exact pricing and specifications will be announced shortly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpts from separate dealer letter: Good news as promised! The Amiga 4000T will be the first machine to be available. New models will follow shortly thereafter. In North America, Amiga Technologies GmbH is concentrating on the high end desktop video market first. CEI is assisting Amiga Technologies in various aspects of creative marketing and product development. The Amiga 4000T will be a tower based model with the Motorola 68040 processor operating at 25Mhz. Initial configurations are expected to be 6MB of Ram and 540MB hard disk. Introductory pricing is set for a street price of $3499.00. CEI will be offering different configurations including complete Flyer workstations ready to plug and play. We realize that the price of the Amiga 4000T is slightly higher than we all would have wished. At the same token there is pent up market demand and the A4000T/Flyer combo is still unbeatable. We are quite excited about Amiga's long term prospects. During the coming months, you will see a number of announcements that will regain our dominance in the multimedia markets. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There has been 1 response.
