   "Computer Review."
________________________________


   Company GATEWAY 2000 appealed to the German Commission on
Bankruptcy Court with a proposal to redeem the property AMIGA 
Technologies, a firm that in 1985 produced the first multimedia 
computer. 

   In April 1995, the ruined
AMIGA acquired by ESCOM,
which itself has become bankrupt
July last year.

   GATEWAY announces that it intends to rename the firm in AMIGA
International and make it an independent unit that will develop 
new products for the computer market AMIGA.Petro Tishchenko 
(Petro Tyschenko) will remain as president of the company. 

   Speaker of the GATEWAY reported that
for the entry into force of the transaction
must be approved by German regulatory authorities.

   In the Americas
AMIGA represented slightly, in Europe the same system of this 
company for more than rasprostraneny.AMIGA occupied mainly 
mainly niche in the video industry, and three-dimensional 
rendering. GATEWAY, on the contrary, made significant progress 
in implementation of its model of direct

Marketing in the U.S., but in the European market still has a 
strong position. 

   Acquiring AMIGA, GATEWAY will not only expand the market
marketing their products, but also get the base for their 
experiments with multimedia, the most notable of which was 
krupnoekranny PC Destination - the first Breakthrough companies 
in the retail trade. 

   Nevertheless, some analysts have expressed doubts, if not
in the logic of such a transaction, then,
at least in its relevance to the
terms of overall company strategy,
since many years, the recipe for success was the support GATEWAY
platform Wintel.
